Drugstore brands like e.l.f cosmetics, Maybelline and Loreal carry a wide range of products that might match Charlotte Tilbury ones. So don’t sleep on these Charlotte Tilbury beauty dupes y’all!
1. Flawless Filter Foundation – e.l.f Halo Glow Liquid Filter
The award winning and cult favorite Flawless filter foundation is what the brand describes as a complexion booster that blurs and smooths while illuminating for what Charlotte herself wanted to create – a real life filter effect. You can use it as a tinted primer, under your foundation, mixed with your foundation or applied on its own as a highlighter on the high points of your face. Its a super light formula infused with hyaluronic acid and squalene giving you the glow of your dreams. But it comes at a hefty price of almost $50!
You can get the e.l.f halo glow liquid filter, also a complexion booster as Tiktok’s now widely acknowledged dupe for just $14! It even contains the two same ingredients as the Flawless Filter i.e. squalene and hyaluronic to give you a HIGHLY similar dewy and glowing finish because it brings the same light-diffusing, imperfection-blurring, and skin-radiating magic as the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, but at a fraction of the price.
Here is where you can order it!
2. Pillow Talk Lipstick – L’Oreal Colour Riche “Nu Authentique” (Alia Bhatt’s Favorite Lipstick)
JBTW, its the lipstick Alia Bhatt is obsessed with and even wore to her wedding! All the more reason to wish for it! The Pillow Talk lipstick is an iconic Charlotte Tilbury product being a cult-favorite and one of the brands best selling lipstick shades. It is a universally flattering nude pink shade. Though the lipstick retails for a whopping $35 which to be honest we can’t justify, sure the lipstick shade is stunning and it’s surprising how it looks different on each skin tone but having used the formula, it’s nothing luxurious or unmatchable.
You could get the L’Oreal Paris “Nu Authentique” from their Color Riche range. It too is the ideal your lips but better pinky nude color. The L’Oreal lipstick is formulated for everyday wear and is smudge proof and long lasting. While the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk retails for $35, you can pick up this spot-on dupe for just $7. If you can’t find that, there is even the Revlon shade – Rose Velvet.
3. Battle Of The Highlighters!
The Charlotte Tilbury beauty wand is a liquid highlighter/blush made to enhance skin luminosity for a glossy highlight. It’s smooth, long lasting and a non greasy formula available in 6 shades. Giving you a soft focused glow, it retails for $42. While it does give you an ethereal glow that glides on, is it okay to dash out $42?
And if you believe that’s way too much for a tiny highlighter wand, you can get the $10 bright light highlighter from Makeup Revolution. The packaging is quite similar but even in terms of the formula, it’s a liquid highlighter with a sponge wand. Its a vegan and cruelty-free formula which gives a subdued, natural and luminous glow to intense glow. You can just dot and blend like the Charlotte Tilbury beauty wand for an easy application.

4. Airbrush Filter Setting Spray – Milani Make It Last Prime + Correct + Setting Spray
A celebrity approved “hydrating, alcohol- and oil-free spray” product, the Airbrush Filter setting spray is hydrating, alcohol and oil free setting your makeup for up to 16 hours without melting or settling into fine lines. The Airbrush Filter is another one of Charlotte Tilbury’s award winning beauty favorite. It’s a multi tasking product, lightweight, providing a perfect canvas for makeup, locks in your final look, flawless and gives a pore blurring finish. But sadly is $38.
Make up enthusiasts on Tik tok and beyond have propped up the drugstore find, Milani Make It Last Prime + Correct + Set Makeup Setting Spray. They claim it’s serious magic despite the price and it preps your skin, blurs the appearance of texture and sets makeup to last for 16 hours much like the Airbrush Filter setting spray. You can apply it before and after applying your makeup for a more flawless finish. Oh and did we mention it will do all that but in $11 only.
Here is where you will find it!
5. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream – Revolution Pro Miracle Cream
The magic cream by Charlotte Tilbury is reportedly, a makeup lover’s secret magic! An anti ageing moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, it visibly plumps the skin and blurs wrinkles, leaving a glowy skin all prepped for a flawless makeup look. It’s skincare with the magic of makeup friendly formula! People are gaga over the cream, Charlotte Tilbury created this after being “frustrated by moisturizers that didn’t provide a glowing base” uses this as a staple in her makeup looks on models and celebrities. Magic Cream floods skin with moisture, making it appear plumper and smoother, while transforming the look over time.
