Charlotte Tilbury shoppers can expect a treasure trove of products at the MECCA counter, from glow-giving highlighters to her best-selling nude Pillow Talk lipstick.
There will also be plenty of skincare, including Charlotte’s celebrity-loved ‘magic cream’ moisturiser – which sells a unit roughly every two minutes.
The moisturiser boasts a host of glossy fans – from models backstage prepping for a catwalk show like Elsa Hosk to actress Sienna Miller, Kim Kardashian and Gigi Hadid.
Charlotte spent 20 years coming up with the formula.
She said she came up with the idea when she saw models’ dull, tired skin during fashion week and knew she needed something that could transform their complexions quickly.
Mixing together eight different ‘magic’ ingredients including Vitamins C and E, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, rosehip oil and aloe vera extract, Charlotte concocted a ‘secret weapon’ cream that would target tiredness, redness and dry, puffy skin.
And when she launched it, it quickly became known as the ‘instant miracle turnaround cream’.
Other top Charlotte Tilbury products include her ‘push-up’ mascara and the Pillow Talk nude lipstick that celebrities swear by on the red carpet.

MECCA founder and co CEO Jo Horgan said of the move: ‘Ever since the brand was founded in 2013, we have made it our mission to ensure Charlotte Tilbury Beauty was in its rightful ANZ home, MECCA, and every meeting with Charlotte since has only further cemented our determination to have her genius and vision, all wrapped up in her eponymous line, on offer for our customers and team members.’
Jo added: ‘Our community has been so very vocal about wanting Charlotte Tilbury Beauty and I’m so thrilled we can finally give them what they asked for.
‘Get ready, as we will be bringing the magic of Charlotte Tilbury to life in all its glowing glory for MECCA’s biggest launch ever.’

Charlotte (pictured) previously shared her tips for looking younger, including using makeup that also combines skincare elements
Speaking previously to FEMAIL, Charlotte shared her tips and tricks for staying looking youthful as you get older.
When it comes to your thirties, forties, fifties and beyond, Charlotte explained that you’re going to want your makeup to work a little harder, while also helping to make you look younger.
‘Look for products that are makeup and skincare hybrids during these decades – like my Airbrush Flawless Foundation,’ Charlotte told Daily Mail Australia.
‘These sorts of products will work hard at nourishing your skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles, while also hydrating and providing you with coverage.’
The makeup artist also said you should look at textures in your makeup at this time – she always looks for ‘sophisticated’ textures with subtle sparkle and a bit of pearlescence.
‘Lighter, water-based textures are always better for our complexions too, as they hydrate and let the skin breathe,’ she said.
Think creams for your eyes, lips and cheeks and brown eyeliner instead of black to soften your entire look.
If you could add one product to your regime at this time, Charlotte recommends a serum like her Magic Serum Crystal Elixir, which helps to add ‘bounce, plumpness and elasticity’.
‘This has been the perfect addition to my personal skincare regime and I use it by massaging just a few drops into my skin with my fingertips,’ Charlotte said.
‘The instant hit of intense hydration makes my skin look and feel so glowy, and it makes makeup application so much easier.’
She also said a feline flick works well into these decades too, as it will help to accentuate your eyes and draw the gaze outwards with your face.

How to perfect the Charlotte Tilbury ‘feline flick’ with eyeliner
Charlotte shared how to do her perfect ‘feline flick’ with eyeliner (Sofia pictured)
* For a long time, Charlotte has been a fan of the ‘feline flick’ winged eyeliner look, to such an extent that it has become one of her signature looks and the most watched content on her YouTube channel.
* Speaking to FEMAIL, Charlotte said: ‘A feline flick can really lift and elongate the eyes, giving them the appearance of a more feline, seductive shape.’
* To do the feline flick, Charlotte said you need the right tools – a liquid eyeliner like her Feline Flick pen, a highlighter and a moisturiser like her Magic Cream to dab up mistakes.
* ‘Before you begin, start by adding a highlighter to the inner corner of the eye and underneath the bottom lash line, 1/3 or the way along the lash line to really open up and widen the look of the eyes,’ Charlotte said.
* ‘Then, to add shape to the eyes, go for a thinner feline flick as this will elongate the appearance of the eye and add more definition to the lash line,’ she said.
* You should take your liquid eyeliner and start in the inner corner of the eye, drawing as closely as possible to the lashline until you are 2/3 of the way out. From this point on, Charlotte recommends you thicken the line, sweeping the pen ‘up and out’.
* ‘Next, look in the mirror and draw a dot where you want your flick to end,’ she said. ‘This should be two millimetres up and out from the outer corner of your eye as a guideline. Compare them both and join the dots.’
* If you are wayward with the liquid eyeliner, the makeup artist recommends using a little bit of Magic Cream to clean up any mistakes.
