It's only Issy Francis-Baum's second season on Made In Chelsea and the model-turned-reality show star has already amassed a strong following. She's had a key role to play in the drama that's so far unfolded in the latest series, and we know that her loyal fan base is just as interested in keeping up with her beauty choices too, which she often shares on her Instagram and TikTok channels.
Never the gate-keeper, speaking to Grazia exclusively, Issy revealed the makings of her signature glossy make-up look and told us that Charlotte Tilbury's Flawless Filter in Medium, £36, is responsible for creating her perfect base. This is a product that counts A-listers, make-up artists and well-versed beauty enthusiasts among its cult following, and we mean everyone from Kate Moss to Phoebe Dynevor.
The hashtag #flawlessfilter has also garnered 125 million views on TikTok, making it a viral hit and one bottle of the stuff now sells every two minutes worldwide. There's a reason why Sofia Tilbury, niece to the make-up mogul herself, said the Charlotte Tilbury foundation she used backstage during London Fashion Week was 'like the Paris filter in a bottle.'
The clever award-winning formula creates an uber-glowy, healthy radiance and gives the skin a convincing 'just had a facial' finish. Inspired by popular effects of social media filters and old Hollywood lighting, it blurs and brightens seamlessly. It can be used three ways: to prime (use underneath make-up for a subtle glow), as a dewy barely-there foundation, or as a gleaming highlighter, making it a rare find on the market.
