DESK TO DUSK TO DISCO
Not sure why it took me so long to try these. Charlotte Tilbury has made sure that all four shades in the palette harmonise well with one another and suit every skin tone. That’s what I love about Charlotte Tilbury’s products. Uptown Girl has champagne, oyster and smoky grey hues whilst The Golden Goddess has your beach bronze, taupe, golden hues. Neither of the two palettes contains any matte shades, they’re all shimmer. If shimmers aren’t your thing, swatch them at the counter and you may be persuaded.
Every colour in each palette has it’s own purpose:
Prime (upper left)
Enhance (upper right)
Smoke (lower right)
Pop (lower left)
There is a guide on the back of the packaging on how to use each of them if you’re stuck or new, but of course, you’re free to use them however you like. CT states these palettes are a desk to dawn to disco and I can vouch for that. With The Golden Goddess palette, I did go natural during the day then added a smokey look after work, ready to hit the town.
The formula of the eyeshadows is top-notch. Buttery, velvety, smooth to apply and blend like a dream, however I was disappointed with the Pop pan in Uptown Girl. It wasn’t very pigmented and didn’t really apply very well. More glittery without a pigmented base but surprisingly, very little fallout. The rest of the shades within Uptown Girl and all in The Golden Goddess are absolutely beautifully pigmented on one swipe. They have a satin finish and doesn’t crease. Those with oily eyelids will love this for its longevity. It lasted throughout the working day then a night out. I forgot to mention, no primer too! No joke.
I love how these palettes don’t contain useless brushes and are surprisingly lightweight to carry around. Even though you’re paying £39 for a 4 shade palette, you’re paying for quality, not just the brand and the packaging. These palettes aren’t a MUST have in your makeup collection but it’s a good buy if you fancy treating yourself.
Uptown Girl doesn’t suit me personally so it’s just been sitting in my makeup drawers as it has a slight lavender, cool undertone. I always reach for The Golden Goddess out of the two. Vintage Vamp and The Dolce Vita are on my to-buy list as they are right up my street.
Have you tried any of Charlotte Tilbury’s Luxury Palettes?
These look lovely, will keep them in mind for presents for people.
The golden goddess Charlotte Tilbury palette looks right up my street 🙂 x
I haven't tried Charlotte Tilbury's Luxury Palettes yet, although they look lovely. My daughter is really a makeup girl, so I'm going to pass your post along to her. I know how excited she gets when she finds a new brand to try x

These palettes sound really good and love that the colours harmonise and look really easy to wear x
Oh my goodness what some gorgeous palettes! I could totally say I love the golden goddess one myself those colours are beautiful.
That is a shame that some of the shades did not have good pigmentation considering CT is a luxury brand but it is good that is was pigmented for the most part x
Omg, Such a beautiful palette and I really love the shimmering.
I've never tried one of these, but I always see them and they're stunning. Definitely going to treat myself some time x
I can't bring myself to buy these. I think I just have so many others that are better quality that I can't justify a quad, x
I do love the shades that are in the palettes. It's a shame the pop one wasn't pigmented enough.
I love the colours in this palette I can see my self using this. Beautiful colours in both sets.
I've been eyeing up these palettes for such a long time, they are so pretty but so pricey! Maybe will have to treat myself sometime! xo
I’ve not tried these before but I’ve been lusting over them for ages! x
I love Charlotte Tilbury but need to talk myself into paying that much for eyeshadow lol
The pigment and the packaging are both stunning! I think I may invest in Golden Goddess and make that my summer go to palette. x
I like the subtle colours of these palettes and the packaging is so elegant!
Big fan of these sorts of shades. Never tried this brand actually but it’s one I would like to.
oh wow this looks delightful and yes definitely looks like chocolate x
The Golden Goddess palette is on my wishlist, what gorgeous shades! 🙂
