Tilbury's Beauty Commandments

Tilbury shares her beauty commandments with Byrdie below.

Choose the right shade of foundation.

Tilbury says the most common makeup mistake is choosing a foundation shade. To find the perfect match, she says to test colors in natural light. Don't forget to match the shade to your neck and ears, as well. She suggests drawing a line of foundation onto the cheek, neck, and ears. The right shade should blend seamlessly against the skin. One of Tilbury's best-selling foundations is the Airbrush Flawless Foundation, and it comes in 44 inclusive shades.

Don't forget the lip liner.

For Tilbury, lip liner is "life changing." Use it to trace and enhance the shape of your lips or cheat by lining outside the lips to resize it. Of course, you should match your lip liner to your lipstick.

The five-minute face.

If you only have five minutes to get ready, Tilbury says red lipstick never goes out of fashion. Use a lip liner to enhance the shape of your lips and fill in with a moisturizing lipstick. She recommends her K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in So Marilyn as the perfect Hollywood red.  To complete your five-minute face, use a natural bronzer to enhance your natural facial structure. To do this, Tilbury says suck in your cheeks and then follow the hollow with your makeup brush. Then brush some bronzer along your temples, nose, and jawline. Top the look off with some highlighter on top of the cheekbones, down the center your nose and on your cupid's bow. Make sure to blend well.

Take care of your skin.

Great skin is the perfect canvas for equally great makeup. Avoid dry, dull, and dehydrated skin by moisturizing religiously. Tilbury adds that apart from wearing sunscreen every day, also look for makeup with SPF for an added layer of sun protection. Lastly, don't neglect your lips. Apply a lip scrub to remove dry skin and apply Vaseline for a moisture boost.
