Filmstar
Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Blush Glow Set ($78.00 for 0.80 oz.) includes a bronzer and blush housed in side-by-side pans. Per the brand, it includes a “natural bronze hue” while the blush adds a “limitless glow.” The two worked well together, but the bronzer is quite light and was subtle on my skintone so this might be more suitable for lighter complexions if wanting to use the bronzer as a bronzer. (I liked the bronzer as a soft highlighter, which would work on light to medium skin tones.) The duo was lovely overall, but I wish the brand thought to include a deeper version or had gone with a more medium-hued bronzer that might work for more complexions. There was a brush included, which was serviceable but nothing noteworthy and not something I’d use as it was somewhat scratchy and prone to shedding.

Filmstar Bronze (Original)
Filmstar Bronze (Original) is a soft, light brown with warm undertones and a fine, golden sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff with a soft, smooth consistency that was firmer in the pan but not difficult to blend out or to use apply to the face. The bronzer wore well for eight hours on me.
It appeared to be the same as the shade in the original Filmstar Bronze & Glow palette (that is permanently available). I felt like the one in this set seemed slightly less pigmented but was otherwise consistent.

Filmstar Blush (Original)
Filmstar Blush (Original) is a brighter, medium pink-coral with a golden sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a soft, lightly dusty texture that was incredibly blendable and easy to apply to the skin. The finish was luminous and did not emphasize my skin’s natural texture. The color stayed onw ell for eight hours on me.
It seems incredibly similar to Love is the Drug, but the description did not say as much, and the Cheek to Chic Blushers are technically duos, but the swirled color is very comparable to this shade.
