I can tell you the exact moment I was floored by Monica Bellucci—I was 14 and watching Bram Stoker’s Dracula for extra credit in my AP Literature class. Though her appearance as one of the titular vampire’s wives is brief, it made a lasting impression. She has had a storied career since then: Malena, The Matrix sequels, and Spectre, where she was the first and only Bond girl over the age of 40. She is also the embodiment of Italy’s dolce vita aesthetic (which is IMO, way more compelling than the French je ne sais quoi). So obsessed am I that I spent hours tracking down her makeup artist, Letizia Carnevale, to find out how she enhances Bellucci’s natural beauty. She revealed that one of the important products in her arsenal is Charlotte Tilbury’s take on a tinted moisturizer, the Hollywood Flawless Filter Primer.
If you have ever bought a makeup product in your life, then you know the iconic makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury and her namesake brand. One of its products is always viral, and its celebrity fanbase includes George and Amal Clooney, Demi Moore, Martha Stewart, and essentially the rest of Hollywood. Carnevale told me Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter Primer gives a “soft, glowy finish that catches light,” even in dim environments.
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter Primer
Though I consider this to be a tinted moisturizer, it’s hard to settle on its classification because it can do pretty much anything: It’s hydrating, illuminating, and skin-enhancing. On the skin care side, there’s glycerin, a moisture magnet, and squalane, a wrinkle-plumping softening ingredient. As a makeup product, it can be used as a primer, highlighter, bronzer, foundation shade adjuster (pick a shade to darken or lighten a complexion product that’s a little bit off), and even a skin tint thanks to its sheer but transformative pigment.
A shopper with “older skin” who has “repurchased [Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter Primer] four times” said they are “blown away” by the “flawless base…and youthful, healthy glow” it imparts. A 69-year-old shopper said this tinted moisturizer gives “just the right amount of coverage…that minimizes fine lines and wrinkles.”
