Charlotte Tilbury's Lip Cheat duo that's 'like having filler' used by Zendaya is on sale

The makeup artist to the stars is offering 20% off sitewide on full price products, but the discount is only available for a limited time
While we can't always bank on favourable weather for the Bank Holiday, one thing we can count on is our beloved makeup and skincare brands will be offering discounts. Not ones to disappoint, Charlotte Tilbury is spoiling beauty enthusiasts with a site-wide sale, providing shoppers with 20% off their high-quality, Hollywood-adored products.
The sale runs from Wednesday, May 21 to Monday, May 26, and anyone who enters the code MAGICMAY at checkout will receive 20% off any full-priced items. With no minimum spend necessary, it's an ideal chance to snag some celebrity-endorsed cult favourites.
However, when there's a discount on such a vast array of items, it can be challenging to pinpoint exactly which ones are worth purchasing. To simplify matters, we've highlighted four standout products that are not only adored by beauty editors but also sported by A-listers from Zendaya to Sarah Jessica Parker.
Each product is part of the limited-time discount, though it's worth noting that bundles, already discounted items, and a few other exclusions don't qualify.
In other news, Amazon is hosting its inaugural Everyday Essentials Week, featuring seven days of deals on everyday essential items until 23.59pm on Tuesday, May 27. As part of the event, there is up to 40% off beauty, including brands like NIVEA, KIKO and Neutrogena, reports the Manchester Evening News.
For those in need of a new beauty gadget, Foreo is offering an additional 30% off with the code BANKHOLIDAY30 until May 27.
Whether you're in the market for a glowing base, plumper lips, or dewy skin, Charlotte Tilbury is a go-to brand for beauty aficionados eager to replenish their makeup and skincare collection, and these four celebrity-approved favourites are an excellent starting point.
1. Super Nudes Lip Cheat Contour Duo – was £22, now £17.60.
The newest member of the esteemed Lip Cheat line-up, the Super Nudes Lip Cheat Contour Duo, has quickly become a favourite on the red carpet. This dual-ended lip pencil is available in four shades to suit various skin tones, offering two complementary colours: a darker hue for defining and a lighter one for filling, creating that sought-after full-lipped effect.
At the Met Gala earlier this month, White Lotus actress Aimee Lou Wood sported the medium shade, as her makeup artist Shayna Goldberg disclosed. Zendaya opted for the Tan shade at the same event, pairing it with the lustrous Big Lips Plumpgasm.
This clever two-in-one pencil is hailed as a superb substitute for cosmetic procedures, with our own Zoe Cripps remarking that it gave her a 'had filler' appearance. She commented: "On one end, you've got Sculpt - a powdery, deeper-toned shade designed to fake natural-looking shadows and add subtle contour. Flip it over, and there's Fill – a creamier, lighter tone that glides on like a dream to blend seamlessly with the sculpted edges. Together they deliver the easiest, most flattering lip contour of your life. Just look at my before and after– my boyfriend asked me if I'd had lip filler!".
And what's particularly noteworthy is that it was only introduced last month, presenting a splendid chance to economise on one of the brand's freshest innovations, with the promo code slicing £4.40 off the recommended retail price.
2. Beautiful Skin Foundation – was £39, now £31.20
This glow-enhancing foundation has earned its reputation as an essential behind-the-scenes beauty product. Infused with moisturising hyaluronic acid, complexion-brightening rose complex, and offering a smooth, layerable texture, it provides a natural-looking finish that endures for up to 16 hours.
At the previous Met Gala, a star-studded array of celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Demi Moore, Emily Ratajkowski, Lana Del Rey, Jodie Turner and Rita Ora were seen sporting this nourishing foundation, yet it's not exclusively for high-profile events. The medium-coverage formula, boasting a palette of 30 hues, boasts claims of tripling radiance and doubling the appearance of smoothness and plumpness in skin, leading our specialists to make it a part of their daily routine.
OK's Laura Mulley shared her experience: "I've tested hundreds of foundations in my time, but this is one that I would 100% buy again. Its name is totally accurate; it really does give 'beautiful skin' – even, perfected and radiant in a very natural looking way and, unlike a lot of foundations, it stays looking like this all day long; no creasing or settling into pores."
Head of shopping Zoe is an enthusiast, stating: "I'm obsessed with this. It goes on like a tinted moisturiser but instantly offers coverage comparable to a high-coverage base. It also blends effortlessly over my skin, leaving it soft to the touch and boasting a radiant glow. It required minimal additional application - definitely no powder. If I were to go out, I might set my under-eye area and forehead with a hint of translucent powder, but for a casual day, I'm content with an intense glow."
3. Charlotte's Magic Cream – previously £79, currently £63.20
Referred to as the "magic dew of youth" and "luminosity in a jar", the Magic Cream is Charlotte's backstage go-to for models and celebrities at fashion shows and award ceremonies. Originally mixed backstage by Charlotte herself, the Magic Cream garnered cult status with its transformative formula that immediately revitalises exhausted, parched skin.
Rich in hyaluronic acid, peptides, rosehip oil, vitamins C and E, and other active powerhouse ingredients, it boosts radiance and crafts the ideal base for makeup. Actress Sienna Miller once called it a "big drink for the skin" on social media.
She enthused: "Charlotte's magic cream is a miracle product. I actually remember the days before Charlotte had her brand and she would mix up her magic cream for shoots and stick it on my face, so when this became available to buy, I think a lot of us were very, very excited. It's an amazing product, it feels so good, it smells so good - it's a big drink to the skin and the best prep beneath makeup."
The skincare expert from The Express, Tiffany Lo, is a fan of the cream's 'rich, thick texture' and highlights that she achieves a 'dewy glow' with just a light application of the moisturiser without feeling any 'sticky' after-effect. However, she remarked: "It is a nourishing day cream to use and I prefer using this on cold weather days than in summer because it gives me tiny breakouts on my combination skin when the weather is hot and humid."
4. Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer – was £45, now £36
This creamy bronzer delivers an illuminated glow thanks to its infusion with finely milled pearls, while silky polymers ensure a soft-focus effect for both the face and body. It boasts a formula rich in hyaluronic acid and sunshine provitamin D3, promising to double skin's hydration in just an hour.
Within a day of launching, one sold every 30 seconds, testifying to its massive popularity – it comes in four shades and can be applied to produce a long-lasting result. The cream is available in four shades to match varying skin tones - ranging from fair to deep - and persists up to 16 hours while withstanding sweat and humid environments.
This hybrid cream is enthusiastically supported by hundreds of customers who have awarded the product five stars – describing the texture as 'buttery and buildable'. However, some clients may still prefer a powdered form; an alternative can be found with the Airbrush Bronzer.
Beauty writer Bethan Shufflebotham has expressed her fondness for the item: "This bronzer I absolutely love. It's the first ever cream bronzer from the brand that works to blur, hydrate and bronze all in one. It gives you an instant sun-kissed skin effect which makes it a great product for the summer months, plus it has a mirror in the compact which makes it ideal for holidays or on-the-go. My favourite tip is to apply it to your eyes as a shadow for an effortlessly cohesive look."
Scan through the entire sale using the code MAGICMAY at checkout to benefit from a 20% reduction on the product, and revamp your beauty routine for the Bank Holiday.

I visited Jeremy Clarkson's farm shop and made instant call after just one look

Clarkson's Farm is smashing Amazon Prime Video's ratings records with each new release. The current series, the fourth, has proven to be its most popular yet, pulling in an impressive average of 4.4 million viewers per episode. This makes it Amazon Prime Video's top show, with viewer numbers on the rise since the third series. A fifth series is already in the pipeline, set to premiere in 2026. In terms of ratings, the show is essentially competing with itself — no other Amazon Prime Video programme has come close in the past couple of years, reports Wales Online. The show's popularity isn't surprising. It's a delightful mix of humour, emotion, charm and, of course, it's led by the man who made Top Gear and The Grand Tour such massive hits for decades. But beyond his knack for creating compelling telly (which must be easier with one of the world's wealthiest companies backing you), it's Jeremy Clarkson's warmth, passion, and willingness to learn and admit mistakes that truly sets the show apart (not to mention all the ribbing he gets from his sidekick and rising star Kaleb Cooper) He's dramatically boosted the visibility of British farming, along with its relentless hurdles – from extreme weather conditions to the staggering costs of tractors and the way the price of fertiliser can skyrocket by thousands in the blink of an eye, but it's not like you can hike up your potato prices overnight to compensate. Farmers seem to be thanking him for bringing their struggles to light, with one purportedly stating that Clarkson "done more for farmers in one series of Clarkson's Farm than Countryfile achieved in 30 years". I might have been late jumping on the Clarkson's Farm bandwagon, but now I'm devouring the four series with a voracity of about one per day. It's become the best bit of my day – absolutely brilliant. I popped into Clarkson's boozer, The Farmer's Dog, and two words summed up that experience for me. I loved every second, from the sprawling, heaving beer garden offering views of the Oxfordshire landscape to the cracking Sunday roast topped off with impeccable service. The lure of Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm shop, famed for its appearances in the hit series, was too tempting. It's been the subject of Clarkon's disputes with West Oxfordshire District Council, tried to sell nearly-gone-off nettle soup at £10 a pop, and seen Lisa Hogan trying to sell China-made clothes despite a rule that everything sold there must come from within 16 miles. A memorable scene is when land agent Charlie Ireland discovers marmalade on the shelves and exclaims in shock: "But we don't grow oranges!". Nestled just south of Chipping Norton, roughly 12 miles from The Farmer's Dog, the farm shop has previously caused a stir with local council officials and residents due to the influx of visitors causing traffic woes. I half-expected chaos upon arrival, but the reality was surprisingly smooth with stewards swiftly directing us to ample parking despite the huge number of visitors. Zooming toward the farm by car (though there is a dedicated Diddly Squat bus stop outside), the high-vis brigade ushered us into a spacious field to join the ranks of parked vehicles where, pleasantly, traffic snarls were nothing but a hiccup. Once parked, a brief stroll across the road led me to what is undoubtedly the nation's favourite farm shop. The addition of new, purpose-built pavements on either side of the road was a welcome sight, especially considering the sheer numbers of people now flocking to this once-quiet country lane. The place was already buzzing with hundreds of visitors, some eagerly waiting for a selfie by the shop sign, others queuing for a pint of Hawkstone beer or a bite from the resident food van, and many more lounging on the numerous wooden picnic benches. However, upon seeing the enormous queue for the quaintly small farm shop (which was much tinier than I had anticipated), I promptly decided against joining it. I overheard talk that suggested that some had been waiting for an hour already. I would have relished the chance to peruse the products in person — luckily, many of them are available at the larger shop adjacent to The Farmer's Dog, where queues were virtually non-existent and I managed to snag some Bee Juice honey (£12) and a crate of Hawkstone lager (£28 for 12 bottles). Much like the pub, there was a palpable sense of excitement in the air, with everyone seemingly delighted to be there. Despite not stepping foot inside the shop itself, I left with fond memories of the unique experience Jeremy Clarkson and his team have crafted in this tranquil corner of the country. I'm certainly glad I dropped by. As well as its fresh produce, the food from the on-site food van and Hawkstone beers, here's a selection of goods you can buy at the farm shop.

Will Smith gives bizarre take on how that Chris Rock Oscars slap impacted his career as he reflects on authenticity and imperfection

Will Smith has opened up about the infamous moment he slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, offering a surprising take on how it impacted his life and career. The actor, 56, reflected on the incident - where he struck Chris, 60, on stage over a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith 's shaved head, which was due to her alopecia diagnosis. The shocking moment led to a 10-year ban from the Oscars and sparked global backlash. Now, nearly three years later, Will has described the incident as 'bruitiful' – a blend of brutal and beautiful – as he spoke about authenticity, personal growth, and how the fallout reshaped his perspective. Appearing on Radio 1Xtra with host Remi Burgz on Tuesday, he said: 'Finding that way to be with my own humanity - be able to not be perfect but be human and find a higher power in my humanity that I found in my constellation of ideas of perfection that we called Will Smith. 'The fullness of who I am to allow that to be better than Will Smith. 'The honestly and authenticity and the broader spectrum of the possibilities of who I am is better than Will Smith. 'Working in that space of authenticity and honesty and perfection. 'Allowing that to grow into a higher perfection than the imagery of Will Smith is where I am as an artist and human right now.' The slap remains one of the most shocking and talked-about moments in Oscars history. It unfolded during the 94th Academy Awards at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre, as Chris was presenting the award for Best Documentary. While on stage, he made a joke about Jada's shaved head, comparing her to Demi Moore's look in the 1997 film G.I. Jane. Jada, who has alopecia, didn't find the comment amusing - and moments later, Will stormed the stage and struck Chris across the face with an open-handed slap. 'Will Smith just smacked the s*** out of me,' Chris said from the stage after being hit. The actor then returned to his seat beside Jada and, still visibly furious, shouted at Chris to 'keep my wife's name out your f***ing mouth' - twice - leaving the audience stunned. He later won the Oscar for Best Actor for his work in King Richard after the incident. 'I want to apologize to the Academy. I want to apologize to all my fellow nominees. This is a beautiful moment and I'm not crying for winning an award. It's not about winning an award for me. It's about being able to shine a light on all of the people,' Will said during his acceptance speech. It took four months for the actor to issue an apology to Chris, which came in the form of an emotional YouTube video. 'Chris, I apologise to you. My behaviour was unacceptable and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk,' he said directly into the camera. Smith noted that he has since reached out to Rock but the comedian was not ready. Will has been working hard to rehabilitate his once squeaky clean image by speaking openly about that 'horrific night' and admitting his wrongdoings.

Mara Corday obituary: Hollywood actress and pin-up

'Go ahead, make my day' said Clint Eastwood to an armed robber while rescuing a waitress portrayed by Mara Corday in the 1983 film Sudden Impact. Her character, Loretta, had displayed ingenuity in alerting the crusading cop to the heist by pouring too much sugar into his coffee, but Eastwood's Dirty Harry was undoubtedly the star of the scene. It hadn't always been the case. Thirty years earlier, Eastwood had an uncredited role with a handful of lines in Tarantula (1955) while Corday was front and centre, screaming for her life as she fled from the 100ft tall 'crawling terror'. The two were part of a set of young actors signed to Universal International Pictures, but Corday was given prominent roles in three sci-fi thrillers about gigantic creatures during this period while Eastwood, she said, was 'completely wasted'. After Corday's first monster hit came The Giant Claw (1957), featuring a grotesque bird, and The Black Scorpion (1957) in which volcanic activity releases prehistoric arachnids that go on a reality, it took much less to scare her. During a lab scene in Tarantula, she was asked to pick up a mouse or a rat. 'I couldn't do it,' she admitted. 'My stand-in did that.' Apart from this squeamishness, Corday was a willing contract player and became one of Universal's most versatile figures portraying characters from a flirty French cashier in So This Is Paris (1954) to a shepherdess in the western The Man from Bitter Ridge (1955). She did once admit that she would have liked a role with more depth to it. 'Even a murder mystery would have been nice,' she said, but accepted that Universal 'just wasn't doing that kind of thing'. The one thing she did take umbrage with was the studio's prudishness. At one point Corday was said to be the second most popular pin-up model after Marilyn Monroe among the armed forces, but the studio insisted on modest dress. Her chest was covered with netting in A Day of Fury (1956) and the studio refused her plea to wear a negligee for the ending of Tarantula. 'They always brushed out [of photographs] this mole I have between my cleavage, because it would draw attention,' she complained in an interview with the writer Tom Weaver. 'Ridiculous!' Marilyn Joan Watts was born in Santa Monica, California, in 1930. Her father, Emerson Watts, worked as a chauffeur and auditor, and her mother, Shirley (née Wood), was a stenographer. She was introduced to showbusiness at the age of 13 when her family moved to Greater Hollywood. She found work as an usherette at the Mayan and Belasco theatres in Los Angeles, where she became so fixated on the world of acting that she travelled by bus across town to collect autographs from some of the greats. But when it came to her first proper break, she shuffled rather than burst on to the scene. Aged 15, she went with friends to audition for the Shrine Auditorium stage shows. She wasn't a strong dancer, but all the good ones were being used for film musicals so the director acquiesced. 'We can always make you a statue,' he said. True to his word, the director mostly asked her to stand in a corner and sing, but the proximity to guest stars including Frank Sinatra went to the teenager's head. She told her mother: 'I don't have to go to school because I'm gonna be a big star.' When she was 17, her mother read in the newspaper that Earl Carroll was looking for new faces for his cabaret-restaurant and gave her an ultimatum. 'You go over there and see what you can do. Or you're going back to school to study stenography and learn typing.' The teenager donned a skimpy outfit and was offered a job on the spot, but was too young to take up the role. Unperturbed, her mother forged her birth certificate. After securing this first proper showbiz job in 1947, she decided to take a more exotic name: Mara — a nickname she was given by a bongo player — and Corday, from the perfume brand. She graduated from the ensemble line to principal showgirl in a year, and was soon performing skits with the comedian Pinky Lee. After Carroll died in an aircraft crash in 1948 and his theatre was shut, Corday danced in shows and acted in a production of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. When she appeared in a small production of The Time of Your Life, she was discovered by the Hollywood talent agent Paul Kohner and quickly signed with him — though for a time she was only cast in a string of small television show roles. Fortunately, Corday had met lots of photographers who were keen to take her picture during her stint at Carroll's, and she was soon modelling professionally alongside her acting. The influential producer Hal Wallis saw her picture in a magazine and invited her to join his small stable of actors in 1953, and when his company was dissolved six months later she moved on to Universal. Through the 1950s, Corday was featured in numerous films, including Sea Tiger (1952), Money from Home (1953) with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, and So This Is Paris with Tony Curtis, which Universal liked so much that they sent her on a publicity tour. In a prudent move, Corday continued to model for more risqué magazines alongside her acting, and featured as a Playboy playmate of the month in October 1958. All the attention helped Corday to land her first leading lady role in The Man from Bitter Ridge opposite Lex Barker, with whom she became romantically involved. From there, she was offered a string of roles in other westerns including Raw Edge (1956), A Day of Fury and The Quiet Gun (1957). Her screen career tailed off after she married the actor Richard Long in 1957, and she mostly stayed at home to look after their three children, though not necessarily out of choice. In an interview for the book Westerns Women, Corday said her husband had turned down roles she'd been offered on her behalf, without telling her — including one opposite Fred MacMurray in The Oregon Trail (1959). There was also a well-documented incident in 1961 when Long was arrested for beating Corday, but he was released after she refused to sign a complaint against him. In the words of their daughter, the couple were 'divorcing all the time' but nonetheless remained married for 18 years until Long died in 1974. Corday is survived by her daughter, Valerie, and son, Gregory. Her son Carey died in 2008. After her husband's death, Corday found herself in need of another job for health insurance. Eastwood, 'the most loyal human being in this business', threw her a lifeline with parts in The Gauntlet (1977), Pink Cadillac (1989), The Rookie (1990) and, most famously, Sudden Impact. Even long after Corday gave up acting, she was a larger-than-life figure. In hospital in her late eighties, the doctor asked: 'What medications are you currently taking?' She replied: 'I'm not on any medication. The only thing I take every night is two martinis.' Mara Corday, actress, was born on January 3, 1930. She died of arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease on February 9, 2025, aged 95
