My Charlotte Tilbury products are among my favorite items in my makeup bag (or, more accurately, bags). They feel great on my skin, never dry me out, and, frankly, they look luxurious, with their glossy, golden packaging. And I'm not alone in my fandom: Charlotte Tilbury counts dozens of celebrities among its fans, including Penelope Cruz, Kate Moss, Nicole Kidman, Kim Kardashian, and Amal Clooney. The latter even wore an all-Tilbury look on her wedding day, which the brand outlined in a tutorial on its website.

And now, in celebration of the Met Gala and the Prince's Trust Awards, Charlotte Tilbury's entire site is going on sale from noon on April 25 until the end of the day on May 4. When you use the promo code REDCARPET at checkout, you can enjoy 20 percent off anything you bought across the site—not to mention the fact that, as always, you can add two free samples to your cart when you pay.

From makeup to skincare to tools, I've done a deep-dive into the site (and into its celebrity fans' wishlists) to bring you the very best options that editors and A-listers alike swear by. Below, my (overloaded) shopping cart.
