Charlotte Tilbury · Airbrush Flawless Foundation

The desk verdict

Full coverage with a blurred, soft-matte finish across 44 shades, at £40. Choose it when oily skin wants coverage and shine control from one product. The August 2025 formula replaced the original shades, so re-match, and note there is no SPF.

Skip this if you want sheer coverage, a dewy finish, SPF in your foundation, or a formula without menthol.

02 / Review

What is in Airbrush Flawless Foundation?

Charlotte Tilbury relaunched Airbrush Flawless Foundation in August 2025 with a new formula and a new 44-shade range. The brand describes powder-blur technology for a soft-focus finish and full coverage, alongside a cooling complex; menthol and alcohol appear in the ingredient list.

Wear and shine-control figures come from the brand’s own consumer test of 305 people. They are manufacturer evidence, not a Cast Index wear test.

03 / Review

Who is Airbrush Flawless Foundation best for?

Oily and combination skin that wants full coverage with a blurred matte finish, and anyone who prefers one product to do the work of foundation and setting powder. For lighter coverage, apply thinly and build only where needed.

04 / Review

What should you check before buying?

Old shade names do not carry over: Charlotte Tilbury advises previous wearers to re-match. The UK page makes no non-comedogenic or fragrance-free claim, and the menthol may not suit sensitive skin. There is no SPF, so a separate sunscreen remains essential.

05 / How to use it

How should you use Airbrush Flawless Foundation?

  1. 01Apply over a settled sunscreen
  2. 02Start with a small amount in the centre of the face and blend outwards
  3. 03Build coverage in thin layers where needed rather than one heavy layer
  4. 04Remove thoroughly at night
