In a whirlwind of all things glitz and glam, the Met Gala has come and gone for another year. But we’re simply not ready to let it be over just yet. We’ll be sifting through all the incredible makeup looks for days to come, analysing what products were used, and how we can get our hands on them!
And on our mission to discover all things Met Gala beauty, we came across two of our favourite beauties wearing one of our all-time fave brands. Yep, the cat’s out of the bag: Charlotte Tilbury has earned not only iconic ‘worn at Met Gala’ status but also garnered a seal of approval from two of our most beloved beauty icons: Sarah Jessica Parker (i.e. the Queen of couture) and Demi Moore (a true hair goals goddess).
So let’s see exactly what makeup was used to create their mature skin-friendly Met Gala looks…
Sarah Jessica Parker’s Met Gala Makeup
Like we said, both SJP and Demi’s makeup artists chose to solely use Charlotte Tilbury to create their iconic looks.
For her look, SJP turned to long time makeup artist Elaine Offers Woulard. And while its clear all of Charlotte Tilbury’s makeup is mature skin-friendly, we’ll be focusing on the products both artists used around the eyes – because isn’t that just the most annoying part?
To create a crisp, clean eye look, Elaine took two shades (5 and 8.5) of the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer ($51 at Charlotte Tilbury) under and around SJP’s peepers. The creamy concealer worked to brighten and lift the look.
Let’s start the actual eye look. Elaine chose to use Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerize in ‘Champagne’ ($50 at Charlotte Tilbury) as a primer; opting for a creamy shadow as a base gave SJP’s eyeshadow a shimmery depth.
Okay, so now we’re getting to the good part! And before we get into it, we’ve got to let you know: Elaine was committed to creating depth. Layering a mix of cream and powder shadows ensured SJP’s eyes not only stood out on the red carpet, but also, helped the look stay put all night long.
The initial colour and shaping (think cut crease and liner shaping) was done with Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon Eye Pencils, firstly in the shade ‘Golden Quartz’ ($45 at Charlotte Tilbury) and then in shade ‘Dark Pearl’ ($45 at Charlotte Tilbury). Next, Elaine set it all in with shadow shades from two of Charlotte Tilbury’s Luxury Palettes. Although we don’t know exactly which shades she used, we know that she opted for smokier tones from ‘The Rock Chick’ ($89 at Charlotte Tilbury) and gave SJP some warmth from ‘The Rebel’ ($89 at Charlotte Tilbury) palette.
Elaine then finished the look off with two coats (because one is never enough) of Pillow Talk Push Up Mascara ($48 at Charlotte Tilbury). Stunning!
Demi Moore’s Met Gala Makeup
Our darling, daring Demi. Can she do any wrong? We think this Met Gala look proves she cannot! For her Met Gala look, Demi put her face (literally) in the hands of celeb-loved makeup artist Kristofer Buckle.
Much like Elaine with SJP, Kristofer chose the gorgeously creamy and ultra-hydrating Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer ($51 at Charlotte Tilbury). But when it came to the eye look itself, Kristofer opted for a less is more approach.
Kristofer opted to take just two products across Demi’s lids, not including the lash-lifting Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Push Up Mascara ($48 at Charlotte Tilbury) of course. Unfortunately for us, Kristofer chose to use the since-discontinued Charlotte Tilbury Matte Eyes to Mesmerise in ‘Chocolate Veil’ as a creamy shadowy-base. But the bad news stops there, as the beautiful pinky shades of the Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette in ‘Walk of No Shame’ ($89 at Charlotte Tilbury) transformed her lids with an elegant dress-matching wonder.
See we told you! Charlotte Tilbury has the mature skin-friendly tick of approval from some of the biggest names in Hollywood (and more importantly their makeup artists).

Have you used Charlotte Tilbury products before? Do you have any mature-age makeup tips?
No never tried them.
I have never thought that Sarah Jessica Parker was very attractive but she does make the most of herself.
SJP always dresses well – & her hair always looks amazing. I wonder if that’s all her own in the above pic, or is she wearing extensions?
Good point Misfortune8
At the end of the day thats all we can do.
I get the best results using no makeup under my eyes – even foundation can cake there, but I take my sunscreen as close to my lashline as possible.
yes I find less is more.
I don’t go close to my eyes with sunscreen and yet I still find it gets in my eyes and stings. It’s a mystery to me on how it seeps into my eyes. 🙁
Demi looked so stunning in that dress
Yes, it’s so beautiful and she is ageing well.
A Big Wow to Demi.
How come SJP has wrinkles in one pic, the next nothing? Her dress looked lovely.
I love her hat but don’t love the rest of it. Looks a bit dated.
But it fits the theme well
Personally, less is best when it comes to makeup. I try to keep it as natural looking as possible.
I have not tried CT, but have looked at it online
It would take a long time to get ready for such an event
The outfits were stunnung!
And I wonder how long they would stay in some of those outfits.
I haven’t even seen Charlotte Tillbury make up to try
They both look great, and I like that they don’t seem to be trying to look 20.
The Met Gala is a fabulous event and I just love the outfits and Make-up and Hair. I think both ladies look amazing.
Must try Charlotte Tilbury, I hear so much about it.
I’ve never tried any Charlotte Tilbury – it must be amazing by the sounds of it!
Ive never tried any of the products
