Charlotte Tilbury is gearing up to introduce two innovations with the Café Airbush in London's Covent Garden. Already, fans of the brand know and love the Airbrush Flawless Foundation, and one of the upcoming releases is a new Charlotte Tilbury foundation set to join the Airbrush franchise. The pop-up experience invites beauty lovers to get shade-matched on side by brand makeup artists—also known as Charlotte’s Airbrush Angels—and pick up a free sample of the new foundation product.
At Café Airbush, guests can also play the Light-As-Air game for the chance to win deluxe samples, in-store services and exclusive merch, or replenish with complimentary drinks like the Light-As-Air Latte or the Refreshing Peach Iced Tea.
