Charlotte Tilbury has finally shared the answer to one of the biggest beauty questions: how do celebrities still look flawless from morning to night, even after hours under bright lights, cameras, and red carpets?
Appearing on This Morning, the makeup icon revealed that the real secret isn’t a complicated technique or £200 product; the answer is setting spray.
Charlotte explained, “If you’ve ever wondered how celebrities look flawless from morning to night without any lines, it’s setting spray.” She added, “A lot of the world doesn’t know about setting sprays. Setting sprays will lock in makeup for up to 16 hours and it will not budge.”
And the Charlotte Tilbury website is currently offering 20% off its Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. Normally priced at £32, this cult-favourite product is £25.60 for a limited time.

The lightweight spray has been a staple for tons of A-list celebs since 2020. It primes and sets makeup for up to 16 hours without it melting, fading or creasing, meaning the stars can party all night long without worrying about their makeup rubbing off.
In fact, it’s the number 1 setting spray in both the UK and the US, with one bottle selling every six seconds.
And it’s got the glowing shopper reviews to back it up. One shopper wrote, “Best setting spray I’ve ever tried and I’ve sampled a lot. Keeps my make up on all day as a hospitality worker dealing with oil heat and water all day”
While a second added, “I don’t usually follow a trend or hype as most of the time it’s let me down. But oh boy! This setting spray is hands down the best I’ve ever used.”

However, a few shoppers criticised its lasting power, one reviewer commented, “Feels refreshing, smells fantastic and does not dehydrate skin. That said, it did not extend the wear of any cosmetics”.

Charlotte Dawson has responded to reports she’s split with the father of her three children, Matt Sarsfield.
The daughter of comedy legend, Les Dawson, 32, reportedly told pals that the rugby star, 34, had left her in Manchester alone following a huge row at the launch party for her tanning brand, Dawsylicious, on Thursday.
It was also claimed that Matt had blocked Charlotte – who revealed the couple’s son, Jude, two was in hospital this week – on WhatsApp following the fracas, with sources suggesting there was no way back for the pair. However, now the mum-of-three has broken her silence over the reports – and insisted they’re not true.
Taking to Instagram, sharing snaps from the party to celebrate the launch of her tanning brand Dawsylicious Tanning this week, in which Matt can be seen embracing the entrepreneur, Charlotte, who looked stunning, sporting a black velvet mini dress with diamanté detail, wrote: “Don’t believe everything you read my darlings… it’s not true. We are still together. We even got matching tattoos of Noah, Jude and Gigi.”

It comes after the pair were said to have called it quits following a ‘blazing row’ at the launch party of the tanning brand, with a source telling The Sun: “Charlotte and Matt have split – and this time she is saying it’s for good.
“They had a massive row at her tanning brand party in Manchester and he walked out.” The source added that Charlotte was ‘so upset’ at the time of the fallout.
They continued: “She’s not managed to speak with him either because he’s blocked her on WhatsApp.” However, now Charlotte is said to be putting a “brave face on” and “says she wants to move on” as it is claimed Charlotte has “had enough of Matt”.
However, a representative for Charlotte denied the reports as they said: “Charlotte and Matt are definitely still together and any suggestions otherwise are completely untrue.” It’s not the first time the couple’s relationship has hit the headlines. Last year, it was reported Charlotte had kicked Matt out of their family home after she discovered he had been sexting another woman.
At the time, The Mirror revealed that the former Celebs Go Dating star had been left “hurt and humiliated” after learning that Matt had sent x-rated messages to someone else. But it was later reported she took him back after Matt was left ‘broken’.
Charlotte told Closer magazine after taking him back: “Of course I was fuming when I found out what Matthew had done.

“The trust has gone massively, so it’s been very difficult, but there is still love there and that’s what’s important,” she said. “We share two boys, a house, businesses and we’re engaged – it’s not as easy as cutting everything off, so we are giving it one last go.
“At the moment everything is going in the right direction.”
A This Morning star has announced they are now single in a very cryptic post about divorce. Dr Scott Miller, who is the ITV show’s resident vet, shared a candid message on Instagram, which he tagged ‘divorce’ as he updated fans on his relationship status.
Sharing a snap of himself with his adorable, dog, Mango, Scott admitted he’d been going through a “tough period” in a poignant post in which he said he hoped ‘happier times were ahead.’
The TV vet wrote: “Looking forward to the future. It’s been a tough period, but I’m so grateful for my kids, my amazing and supportive friends, my health…and my dog.

“Mango has been my constant companion and his unconditional love has helped me weather the storm.
“Hopefully clear skies and happiness ahead. Love, kindness and healing to all. Dr S and Mango.”
Scott, who is married to Zo Christien, with whom he shares four children – Summer, Quinn, Jackson, and Riley, then added a number of tags to his post, including ‘rescue’, ‘dogs’ and ‘divorce’.
His fans were quick to comment on the post, with a number of Scott’s followers wishing him the best.
One wrote: “I am so sorry you have been through a difficult time. I am so glad that Mango has been such a support. Sending you a big hug, and wishing you happiness.”
Meanwhile, another replied: “Are you telling me Dr Scott is single? Join the queue ladies!”
Last year, the This Morning favourite opened up about a huge life change when he revealed his autism diagnosis and how he first felt an inkling that he had it after spotting tell-tale signs from his beloved children.
The celebrity vet was diagnosed in 2023 after noticing he had mannerisms similar to two of his children, who had already been diagnosed with the condition.

Aston Merrygold posed in his hospital bed as he gave an update on his condition with fans.
The 37 year old JLS singer revealed earlier this week he needed to have an operation following a serious injury that he sustained during an accident. Aston has now gone under the knife and shared an update with fans as he posed with his thumbs up while sporting a hospital gown and laying in a bed.
Other snaps in the Instagram share show Aston with his wife Sarah and their children Grayson, Macauley and Riley. In the caption he told fans: “Done, done & done! Thanks for all the love and support everyone.. Thankfully everything went to plan in surgery Shout out to the incredible Dr’s, nurses and staff at the hospital!! I’m home with my favourites so the rest and recovery starts now”.
He was met with well-wishes from fans as one wrote: “Glad it all went okay enjoy some much deserved R&R now”, while his bandmate Marvin Humes wrote: “My guy! Over the moon everything went well”.
“Rest well & praying for a speedy recovery for you!,” a third added. Shortly before the operation, Aston shared a photo of himself looking in high spirits as he stood wearing a hospital gown while sporting crutches. “Here we go,” he wrote as he shared the image on Instagram.
Last week, Aston revealed he required surgery on his injured ankle. “So, I had a bit of an accident on an injury and basically it requires surgery. So they’ve given me these really cool crutches,” he said on TikTok.
Despite the painful injury, which he also showed off on a post on his TikTok showing his swollen ankle, Aston continued to perform with his band while on crutches. He joked, however, that backflips were “on hold” for the meantime as he sported a black denim jacket with the words ‘Backflips on hold’ bedazzled on the back.
Aston has been touring with his band, which kicked off in Glasgow at the Hydro Arena. He revealed at the first gig of the group’s comeback tour that he had been advised by his team to postpone, the Daily Mail reports, but said there was ‘no way’ he could let his fans down. Aston also reportedly praised his bandmates for their support as he battles with the injury.

The group, which is comprised of Oritsé Williams, 38, JB Gill, 38, Aston and Marvin Humes, 40, first formed in 2007 before they auditioned for The X Factor in 2008 and gained huge popularity. They were the show’s runners-up of that year, missing out on the top spot to Alexandra Burke, but still landed a record deal in 2009.
The continued to perform before announcing their decision to split in 2013. However, they reunited this year to perform a limited amount of shows across the UK.
Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell has faced a backlash after she launched a beauty brand aimed at children aged three and above
With 35 million Instagram followers, Shay Mitchell’s latest business venture was likely to be a huge success. However, her latest project – a beauty brand for toddlers – has been hit with fierce criticism.
A Hollywood star with a lot of influence, Pretty Little Liars actress Shay – who played Emily in the mystery thriller drama series – and Esther Song have created rini, a beauty brand they claim marries gentle skin care and play for children aged three and above.
A mum herself, Shay, 38, – who has daughters Atlas Noa, six, and Rome, three – says she was inspired to create her new range by her children’s constant requests to be involved in her beauty routine. When she wore face masks, they’d ask what it was and beg to use it and she would hand them deodorant with a lid on just so they could be part of her routine.
It was from here that rini was born – with Shay adamant she wants her kids to enjoy skincare like she does to “create healthy habits and have that self-care time”. They write on their website: “Our mission is simple: to nurture healthy habits and spark confidence”.

The new brand sells everyday facial sheet masks with Vitamin E made to look like pandas, puppies and unicorns. Made with 93.5% natural ingredients, they contain Glycerin, Beta-Glucan and Allantoin to hydrate, strength and soothe and also feature White Tremella Mushrooms, which holds up to 500 times its weight in water to hydrate and calm the skin.
The second range of products are hydrogel masks, which include Vitamin B12, Glycerin & Red Algae Extract. The hydrogel mask is also infused with Vitamin B12 and costs £6 each, marketed for daily use. The after sun mask is infused with Aloe Vera and Chamomile as well as Wild Yam, which is said to “calm, heal, and hydrate delicate skin in harmony”.
The products might have been approved by dermatologists and clinically tested in the US, but the controversial brand has not sat well with celebrities and fans alike. Vicky Pattison – Strictly Come Dancing star – branded it all a “step too far”.
Speaking on a recent podcast she said, “I think it’s manipulative to position it as self care for kids. For me, an hour in the bath at the end of a busy day with a face mask on, that is my self care, but why does a three-year-old need that self care? They don’t. Their lives are, as they should be, care free.”
She says parents should be the one to shield their kids from these expectations. Vicky added: “It’s up to the parents to set those boundaries and to say, ‘This is something for when you’re older. It’s just for me now. I think we’re blurring the lines there. I personally think it’s all a little bit dark and a bit of a shame. Let kids be kids.”
This is a view shared by many people online, who have called the new business venture “tone deaf” and “harming”. Dr Ranj Singh – a doctor who has regularly appeared on This Morning – dubbed the sheet and hydrogels masks an “awful idea”.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror about the brand’s products, he says: “Children and young people have a generally healthy, developing and sensitive skin barrier. So when it comes to any skincare, as a general rule, less is more.
“Unless they have specific medical needs, they simply don’t need active skin products – simple washes and moisturisers (if necessary) are absolutely fine for the vast majority. And any reputable Dermatologist would agree with this. I’d like to think that most of these brands are genuinely looking out for children’s bests interests, but we also need to remember that they are businesses.”

He fears products like these can have a wider impact on children into the future and said: “We have to be mindful that, even with the best intentions in the world, these products may be sending the wrong message to young people from an early age: that somehow their skin is not good enough, that they have to obsess over their appearance, or that they need these products to look or feel good.
“This is simply not the case – and we must make clear that behaviour adults might show are not always applicable to children. When it comes to kids’ skin, the emphasis should be on looking after yourself from the inside – not what the world sees or what you might do on the outside.”

After mixed reviews for her Netflix Christmas episode of With Love, the Duchess of Sussex is struggling to match Kate’s magic, an expert tells us

Meghan wants to emulate Kate’s magic, a royal expert claims(Image: Getty Images)
The Duchess of Sussex and the Princess of Wales have both kicked off the Christmas season in style, and a royal expert tells the Mirror the rivalry between the pair is still alive and well. Last week, Meghan delivered the festive special of her Meghan, With Love Netflix series just a few days before Kate hosted her star-studded Together at Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams says the two events could not have been more different and he suspects Meghan, 44, may now retire her lifestyle show altogether. “Meghan is secretly battling to emulate some of the magic that Kate clearly creates, but it is not working,” he told us.

He continued, “She displayed almost relentless positivity, which actually becomes weary to watch. It seems that she’d like to be a sort of Californian Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way, and therefore her show just does not have the same level of substance as Kate’s carol concert.”
The format of Meghan’s Holiday Celebration followed her earlier shows, with cooking demonstrations, DIY tutorials for wreath making, the odd cameo from husband Prince Harry and a few celebrity friends such as tennis ace Naomi Osaka.
The show landed in Netflix’s Top 10 TV Shows in the UK within 24 hours of airing, but critics were less than impressed. The mostly one or two-star reviews in British newspapers described it as “bizarre” and one reviewer said it was “quite mad and a little bit sad”.
Not everyone agreed though, and many viewers took to social media to show their support. Writing on X, one said it “lifted their spirits” and another wrote they loved the “charming show”.
However, Richard suspects it is the last we’ll see of the series, and Meghan and Harry will have to bring something big to the table if they want to keep Netflix on side.
“The trouble is that in the position she is in with their downgraded Netflix deal, which isn’t an unusual position to be in, she needed a big name,” he told us. “While Naomi Osaka is very big in her field, there will be many people who didn’t know who she was. So if viewers are Googling the names of her guests, it’s not looking particularly good for their future with Netflix, so this may well be the last episode we get of the series.”
The episode also added to the list of so-called diary clashes between the Sussexes and the royal family, airing on the same day as King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted the German state visit, and a few hours after Kate released a personal letter to guests attending the carol concert.
In it, Kate talked about Christmas being a time that “speaks of love taking form in the simplest most human ways” and “invites us to remember the power of reaching out to one another with generosity of heart, understanding and hope”.
Her service included readings by Prince William and Titanic actress Kate Winslet, along with musical performances by Katie Melua and Griff.
Richard says there is a widespread belief that Meghan still feels “rivalry” with Kate, 43, which dates back to their time as the Fab Four with princes Harry and William.
The result, he claims, has been a number of diary clashes over the years, including Megxit being announced on the eve of Kate’s 38th birthday in 2020, and Harry publishing the paperback of his explosive memoir Spare while his father and mother-in-law were on a royal tour of Australia.
“If we look at the timings of many of the things the Sussexes have done, there is often a clash with William and Kate,” Richard said. “Recently, for example, there was Harry’s visit to Canada at the same time as William’s Earthshot trip.
“Harry reportedly made an offer to share diaries earlier this year to avoid clashes, but if the offer was accepted, nothing appears to have come from it.”
A day after Meghan’s show aired, there were reports that her estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr, was in intensive care in a hospital in the Philippines, where he lives.
The 81-year-old has battled poor health for some years, and his son Thomas Jr told a newspaper last week he was “fighting for his life” after emergency surgery. Meghan’s dad is also reported to have had a leg amputated.
While Meghan’s festive special was likely filmed months ago, Robert says the unfortunate timing of its release has done her no favours.
“It is a decidedly dysfunctional situation to have Meghan on television talking about love and family while her father is said to be fighting for his life in hospital,” he said.

“I don’t imagine it has been received in the way Meghan would have hoped, so she and Harry will need to think very carefully about what they do next.”
