Born in London and raised in Ibiza, Charlotte Tilbury grew up surrounded by inspiring artists, always knowing she would pursue a creative career. Two key moments shaped her path: meeting renowned makeup artist Mary Greenwell at age 11, which introduced her to the world of makeup, and discovering the transformative power of makeup at age 13 when she first wore mascara. The positive reactions she received made her feel more confident and empowered, solidifying her passion for makeup artistry.
