The Shelf · Skincare for Dry Skin That Drinks Everything You Put On It
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream
The backstage moisturizer: the cream makeup artists sink into dry faces before foundation, and it costs more than all but two of the products here. Shea, hyaluronic acid and rosehip and camellia oils in a genuinely rich base. It was reformulated recently, so we wrote this from the ingredients the old and new lists agree on, and both versions are unmistakably rose-scented.
