I am rather partial to the odd bit of Charlotte Tilbury make up and 'The Glamour Muse' is one of my favourite Charlotte Tilbury quads.
The first three shades are so buttery soft and blendable and each time I use it I think how perfect this would be for a bridal look. The shades are soft and romantic with a beautiful satin finish and I reach for this quad a lot on a daily basis.
The palette follows the usual Charlotte patented formula-from top left clockwise-the prime, enhance, smoke, pop shades.
The 'prime' shade is a silver toned white with a satin finish. It's not chalky at all and brightens the whole lid.
The 'enhance' shade is a warm rosy gold with great pigmentation and applies and blends super smoothly. I love this shade and despite the vast amount of eyeshadow I own this shade is pretty unique.
The 'smoke' shade is medium brown/grey-what I actually like about this palette (although I appreciate some people won't) is that the smoke shade isn't too dark. I'm not great at doing smoky eye looks so I personally find this medium tone easier to work with for the overall look. All of these shades last all day long on me without fading or creasing.
The 'pop' shade for me is the one that doesn't work. The shade is a vivid violet glitter in the pan but the pigmentation on the lid is so poor and it takes so much effort to build up to become visible. The way I have been using it is as a liner, pressed over a cream shadow using my shortest and stiffest brush and still it takes a lot of work.
I have grown to like the Charlotte Tilbury packaging-I love the rose gold accents and the sleek design of all the products.
I've found the palettes overall to be a mixed bag-I have purchased 8 of the 9 palettes in Charlottes range and my favourite is the Dolce Vita. I have reviews on The Sophisticate, The Uptown Girl, The Dolce Vita, The Fallen Angel and The Golden Goddess on my blog if you're looking for inspiration!
