Poor Things star Emma Stone capped off award season with one of the most coveted wins of the 2024 Oscars ceremony: the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Stone played Bella Baxter, a woman brought back to life with the brain of a baby, in the Frankenstein-esque film written by Tony McNamara based on the book by Alasdair Gray. The striking film navigates Baxter’s journey to becoming an adult and human desires.

For her second-ever Oscars win, Stone sported a gorgeous green Louis Vuttion dress — which broke during Ryan Gosling’s viral “I’m Just Ken” performance — and a full face of glam from Hollywood’s favorite beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury.

You can purchase the exact skincare and makeup products Stone sported on Sunday night and can save 20% off all orders $60 and up when you purchase directly through CharlotteTilbury.com. Simply enter the code REDCARPET at checkout. The limited sale runs until 5:00 a.m. EST on Thursday, March 14. Otherwise, you’ll pay full price by ordering through Charlotte’s site, Sephora, or Ulta, where their celeb-favorite brand recently debuted.

Although celebrity makeup artist Rachel Goodwin is unavailable to comment on Stone’s makeup before publication, I have some good news: I am the biggest non-paid Charlotte Tilbury fangirl and love every single product Stone used for the Oscars red carpet and ceremony, except one that hasn’t been launched yet. (I can confirm the Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm is an oil-infused lip-plumping gloss in two versions of the brand’s signature pinky-nude shade. The new release is available to shop on April 4, exclusively on CharlotteTilbury.com.) Keep scrolling for more tea on Stone’s Oscars red carpet skincare and makeup details, plus enjoy my no-fail tips on maximizing your red carpet glow from home. Happy shopping!

Best Face Serum

Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir

Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir

Goodwin prepped Stone’s skin with my all-time favorite face serum. The Crystal Elixir is infused with brightening vitamin C, pore-minimizing niacinamide, and polyglutamic acid, which is four times more hydrating than hyaluronic acid and helps plump up fine lines.

It’s designed to work with all skin types, ranging from oily to dry. Plus, this face serum has a gorgeous radiance to it that lends itself to your skin.

Pro tip: I like to mix this face serum with my ride-or-die Airbrush Flawless Foundation on minimal makeup days to sheer out the formula and ensure I’m glowing.

The New Beauty Award Winner

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Water Cream

Magic Water Cream

Tilbury’s best release of the past year is undoubtedly the Magic Water Cream, a new take on her signature Magic Cream. This new release is so impressive that I bestowed it a seal of approval in the inaugural Best Products Best New Beauty Awards.

Magic Water Cream was created for those with oily, combination, and acne-prone skin like mine. It leaves the skin glowing but not shiny like a greasy slice of pizza. Its lightweight gel-cream formula absorbs fast, so you can apply makeup more quickly.

The brand’s trademarked Waterlocking Fusion Technology ensures your face retains moisture for up to 100 hours, while niacinamide acts as a pore minimizer and an oil-balancing extract designed with oily and combo skin in mind. It even has a biopeptide complex to enhance the skin texture and radiance and minimize fine lines.

IMHO this is the hero product of skincare prep, and it seems Stone agrees — she used Magic Water Cream both at the SAG Awards and Golden Globes, too.

TikTok's Favorite Luminizer

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter in 2

Emma Stone, beauty-obsessed Hollywood starlets like Jodie Turner-Smith, and TikTokers alike can’t get enough of this now-iconic beauty product. Stone sported the color 2 Fair, while Turner-Smith went with 8 Deep.

Many brands have tried to dupe this product, but I gotta be real: there’s simply no comparison. Or as Naomi Campbell once said on The Face, “Don't compare yourself to me, ever. You’re not on my level.”

Hollywood Flawless Filter’s genius is that it’s a multifunctional product that can be applied all over underneath the foundation as a face primer, on its own, or just on the high points of the face for a major glow.

As someone with oily AF skin, I even enjoy using this product during the late summer, fall, and winter seasons for a gorgeous, non-greasy glow. It doesn’t cause breakouts, or look chalky on my skin. It’s a must-have product for anyone looking to achieve the most envy-inducing glow possible.

Best Foundation

I have been a hardcore Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation girl since its launch in the summer of 2019. However, anyone who wants a medium-buildable coverage liquid foundation that moisturizes and adds a welcome glow factor needs this Emma Stone-approved foundation in their life ASAP.

Like all Charlotte Tilbury makeup products, Beautiful Skin contains skincare-quality ingredients. Notably, it’s infused with hyaluronic acid, which dermatologists adore because it’s a moisture magnet.

This foundation has an incredible texture and feel, and is super easy to apply with your fingers, brush, or makeup sponge.

Pro tip: I am comfortable wearing this foundation without concealer. But on days my skin isn’t serving, I like to dab a little extra product, and use a stippling motion to concentrate the foundation on areas of concern like zits.

Best Hybrid Highlighter and Blush

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand in Pinkgasm

Another TikTok-favorite Charlotte Tilbury product Stone enjoys is the popular Beauty Light Wand in Pinkgasm. Tilbury is the queen of creating products that act as light-diffusing skin filters and Beauty Light Wand is no exception. A soft focus silica blurs skin imperfections, while lustrous polymers add a gorgeous smooth texture to the skin. Sensorial oil also has a silky-soft feel and imparts a stunning shine to the face.

Depending on your vibe, you can apply the Light Wand as a highlighter, as a blush, or both. That’s the beauty of makeup, especially when it’s from Charlotte Tilbury. The complexion products are flexible matches, her other drops aren’t limited to just one use, and they feel hella comfortable on the skin throughout the day. Don’t forget to twist the lock to prevent the liquid from accidentally seeping out during travel.

Best Eyeshadow Palette

I genuinely believe all Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadows are underrated, especially this gorgeous ’90s-inspired collection. Unsurprisingly, I was thrilled that Goodwin used this mini eyeshadow palette on Stone. It comes with three cool caramel brown tones, three warm bronze shades, and a gorgeous, universally flattering nude matte eyeshadow.

All six shades seamlessly glide across the skin, provide beautiful color payoff, and don’t cause fallout, which can be a major problem with other eyeshadows. Instead, all of these colors are velvety-smooth and blend like a beauty dream, which is the expected standard for a makeup line from a legendary celebrity makeup artist.

You can use powder eyeshadows as an eyeliner! Either use water or dampen a small eyeliner brush with the popular Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. Using her setting spray ensures longevity for the eyeliner.

Best Pink Lipstick

K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in 90s Pink

Whoever said matte lipsticks must be drying or boring hasn’t swiped on the brand-new K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipsticks from Charlotte Tilbury. Emma Stone sported 90s Pink, a stunning warm rosewood pink, and layered on the yet-to-be-released Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm gloss.

I adore the five new shades of K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipsticks, but especially 90s Pink, the exact color Stone wore. Her pout looked noticeably fuller on the red carpet, and we can credit that to the light-diffusing, lip-enhancing pigments found in this new release and the above mentioned lip-plumping gloss.

This lipstick soothes and conditions our delicate mouth while protecting it from UV damage. There’s even a welcome blend of waxes and vitamin E for some necessary moisture. While it doesn’t entirely replace a lip mask or lip balm, I find myself applying this lipstick at home or on the road when I forgot to bring a lip conditioner with me.
