Ruth Langsford gave fans a glimpse at her quick makeover and showed how one product made her look younger. The TV presenter, who also works as a fashion designer at QVC, used a Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow palette to elevate her everyday look for a special occasion.
She used the Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette in shade ‘The Golden Goddess’, which is priced at £46 and comes with four golden and bronze shades in satin-matte, shimmer and metallic finishes. Describing the colours as « very me », Ruth showed fans how she applied them in a few swipes as she got ready to head out.
« So this is just my daytime kind of makeup, » Ruth told fans. « But if i’m going outside, I’d like to add a little bit of eyeshadow and I’ve got the Charlotte Tilbury Golden Goddess palette – those are very me. »
She took a makeup brush and dabbed a bit of the ‘Smoke’ shade to her eyelid, saying: « Very lightly, I sweep that [over my eyelids]. I don’t go right up to my eyebrows. Remember the days when we used to put that really tiny highlighter?
« And then, a smaller brush and I’m going to go in [the same shade] again. And just go right in that crease and put it under your brow bone there, and then kind of into the corner. »
The second swipe added depth to Ruth’s eyes for a more sculpted look. To help reduce the look of tiredness and hooded lids, cream eyeshadow formulas or shimmers with a soft and satin finish work better than heavy, matte powders. Applying eyeshadow higher in the crease also works to brighten and open the eye.
Ruth continued: « Then that little stubby end of the brush – I’m going in for this lovely goldy, shimmer. And then finally I would go in with my lovely Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. So that’s me, feeling fabulous ready, to go for lunch in the bright pink jacket. »
The Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette has multi-reflecting pearls for sparkle and glossy ester to add luminosity and a soft, silky feel. It also contains coated pigments for a creamy, intense colour pay off and a 3D matte effect.
The matte ‘Smoke’ shade that Ruth used combines deep intensity with extreme softness. Finely milled for a velvety, liquid-like sensorial, it blends beautifully for a sultry contour.
For a muted tone, shoppers can try Vieve’s Soul Shadows and shade Terra is packed with a range of modern mattes that are perfect for both everyday looks and experimentation. It’s stocked at SpaceNK for £29.
Lisa Eldridge’s Muse Eyeshadow Palette is a curation of six harmonious and complementary eyeshadows in high-performance, easy-to-blend formulas. Priced at £49, shoppers can find different tones of pink in the Muse palette.
Fans loved Ruth’s recommendation and said they’re happy to try the Charlotte Tilbury palette. One responded: « Thanks for the tips Ruth. Those are exactly the colours I like to wear. Up until a few years ago I was still stuck in the 70s eye makeup, wearing blue and grey eyeshadows for my blue eyes.
« But then I went for a makeover photo shoot and the makeup artist used the neutral colours on me and totally changed the way I looked. They told me the browns and neutrals would make my blue eyes pop. Ive never looked back. That looks like a great palette. »
A second added: « You look beautiful Ruth and those colours are pretty. » But another struggled to follow the steps, sharing: « Love your tutorials Ruth, rollers and all. I just wish I ended up looking like you after your tutorial, where in earth am I going wrong, I end up looking like a clown. »
