With spring now upon us, we can’t wait for those hot summer days. What we’re less ready for is the inevitable shine that will befall our faces. Luckily for us, Gladiator star Montell has revealed her secret weapon for airbrushed skin...
From twirling on the Strictly dance floor to putting us all to shame as Fire on Gladiators, there's no challenge that Montell can't handle – with staying flawless under all those stage lights one of the toughest.
Speaking to heat about her go-to make-up products for busy filming days, Montell said, ‘I always have my red lip, but that’s more glam. I’m shiny right now [because my makeup] has been on for like six hours, but if I whack my Charlotte Tilbury powder on… Brand new face. I carry it around everywhere. I’m like, powder me up and I’m good to go! She goes everywhere with me.’
Of course, there’s very good reason Montell won’t go without her Charlotte Tilbury airbrush flawless finish powder. A cult classic amongst celeb make-up artists, the £38 powder has been used on A-listers including Kate Moss, Nicole Kidman, and CT superfan Amal Clooney. Thanks to its pore-blurring effect and complexion boosting radiance, the skin-softening formula features almond oil and rose wax to help hydrate, smooth, and brighten the face for that famous airbrushed finish. Honestly, we’re sold.

'If I whack my powder on... Brand new face'
Described as an 'eraser for your pores' one of the powders big selling points it how finely milled it is - meaning it’ll melt into your skin without the dreaded cake effect. In fact, plenty of make-up artists have confirmed this is a great product for mature skin, too.
And to top it all off, just look at that packaging. In the classic CT rose gold gorgeousness, this compact is also also refillable. Saving a couple quid alongside helping the environment? Sign us up.
Garnering over 3,000 five star reviews, Montell isn’t the only person to find themselves a lover of this face powder. One wrote, ‘Makes me look at least 10 years younger! The first time I tried this powder, I knew it would be my OG ride or die powder for the rest of my days.’ Another make-up artist added, ‘Works for both oily and dry skin, melts into the skin, and no powdery dry residue.’
If the slightly high price point has you taking a gulp, there are some winning points. The Flawless Finish powder should carry you through the next few months, rain or shine, with reviews saying one of it’s biggest selling points is that you only have to use the ‘smallest amount.’ However, you’ll need to bring along your own blending puff, as it doesn’t come with one included.
With celeb fans and rave reviews galore, there’s no denying the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush flawless finish powder is a total game changer. At £36 pounds, it’s a quality product that’s worth every single penny (but if you’re looking for a slightly cheaper powder, we’ve tried and tested some over here at heat to help you findthe best dupe.)
Thanks for the intel, Montell. This one’s going straight in our basket.
