When it comes to make-up, Charlotte Tilbury is an expert. Case in point: She’s one of the industry’s most revered make-up artists working with everyone from Amal Clooney to Bella Hadid and has even received an MBE from the Queen. The Royals have been rumoured fans of Charlotte Tilbury’s cult-status beauty products for a while at this point, and now we finally have confirmation.

If that's not enough to convince you that Charlotte is an icon - her latest collection of eye shadows, cheek colours and lip glosses has a waiting list of 17,500 people.

So when the beauty guru reveals any make-up hacks or tips - trust us, we’re listening. Speaking to the MailOnline, she revealed the secrets behind creating a natural, dewy complexion. And it’s not what you think…

Tilbury’s best piece of glow-getting advice was this: Dip your make-up brush into a little bit of water before you apply highlighter to your face. "The smooth, creamy formula glides across the skin like a liquid highlight but sets like a powder and captures the light beautifully," she says. Simple. 

What's more? A damp brush ensures you won't be picking up too much product - for an effortless touch of shimmer. "A gorgeous highlight can instantly lift dull looking skin for a natural looking glow!"

If you're looking for more tips on creating dewy makeup looks, here are our favourite dewy foundations.
