Charlotte Tilbury Lovegasm Glowgasm Face Palette Review & Swatches

Lovegasm

Charlotte Tilbury Lovegasm Glowgasm Face Palette ($75.00 for 0.52 oz.) is a new, limited edition quartet of pressed powders that are primarily designed for cheeks but can also be used on eyes. The palette includes a highlighter, highlighting blush (“Multi-Glow”), bronzer, and blush. The pigmentation ranged from semi-opaque (and buildable) to opaque, while the texture was smooth to the touch, blendable on my skin, and none of them emphasized my skin’s natural texture. They wore between eight and nine hours on me.

If you’re someone who likes the more gel-powder hybrid formulas, then this is likely to have more appeal; I think that the powders are, on average, a smidgen firmer than is typical for gel-powder formulas, which there are many at this point! They perform best with moderately dense brushes and a moderate hand, but very feathery or barely-there touches aren’t going to yield much pigment. If you haven’t tried this type of formula, you might mull over why it is good, but the asset is in the lack of powderiness and that smoother, but firmer, texture–they tend to sit particularly well on skin and blended out more easily (in my experience) with more of a “melted” look on skin.

Lovegasm Highlight

Lovegasm Highlight is a light-medium gold with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage paired with a soft, slightly drier texture that was firmly-pressed and needed a slightly heavier hand to pick up evenly–this gel-powder formula is often more firmly pressed (but has no powderiness), and this seemed a bit firmer than average. The powder applied well to bare skin, blended out nicely, and didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. It wore nicely for eight hours on me before I noticed any fading.

Lovegasm Multi-Glow

Lovegasm Multi-Glow is a medium-dark, reddish-copper with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had opaque color payoff that adhered evenly to my skin and spread out with ease, leaving behind a glowing finish that didn’t accentuate my skin’s natural texture. The powder had a firmer texture, consistent with the gel-powder formula, but it picked up well with a moderately dense blush brush and blended out easily. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours before there was visible fading.

Lovegasm Bronze

Lovegasm Bronze is a medium brown with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had very, very fine pearl throughout, and as I buffed and blended the powder on my skin, it had a smoother sheen (without visible shimmer). The consistency was more firmly-pressed in the pan, which was consistent with this gel-powder type of formula, but does work best with denser brushes (the upside is no powderiness). It had opaque color coverage that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well. The color stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Lovegasm Pop Blush

Lovegasm Blush is a light-medium, pink-coral with warm, golden shimmer and faint sparkle. The color payoff was semi-opaque but buildable, while the consistency seemed a little softer than the other shades in the palette, though not to the point where it became powdery or messy to work with. The powder applied evenly to my skin and blended out without difficulty. It had a stronger sheen but never emphasized my skin’s texture. It wore beautifully for eight and a half hours before it showed signs of fading.
