When she isn’t dabbing a powder puff on high-level hotties like Victoria Beckham and Blake Lively, or blazing through a staggering 40-plus shows during fashion season, British makeup champion Charlotte Tilbury is busy conjuring one coveted beauty goodie after another.

Her years in the editorial and ad campaign trenches, crafting looks for Tom Ford, Michael Kors and countless Vogue covers, have helped hone her signature easy glam.

Whether it’s the Hollywood-worthy tutorials on her Web site or products like her new Instant Look in a Palette, Tilbury is making it her mission to decode star-caliber maquillage for the masses. Follow this Instagram “addict” on her feed, and you’ll see the globe-trotting mother of two popping up all over —Dallas! Dublin! Amsterdam! — spreading the #TilburyTransformation.

Here’s a look at her alluring must-haves.
