You can’t have an interest in the skincare industry without knowing about Charlotte Tilbury. Her skincare and makeup is loved by critics the world over however is a brand I’ve never really had much personal interest in. Why?

Now that I have your attention; do not do one of these ridiculous DIY Black Charcoal Peel of Masks. Any blogger or YouTuber perpetuating this highest-order horseshit should be taken off the internet.
