Darlings, name a more iconic modern-day duo than Charlotte Tilbury and Celine Dion? Seriously, I\u2019ll wait. Can you even think of anyone who matches their level of glam and talent? As a beauty lover and a woman in her 50s, theirs is the exact kind of star power I want to see at the forefront of ad campaigns this party season.<\/p>\n
The pair\u2019s Christmas collaboration is another home run from Charlotte Tilbury \u2013 the make-up artist turned cosmetics mogul who has become one of the biggest names in the global beauty game. And guess what? We can claim Tilbury as one of our own; her grandmother hailed from Kilkenny, while DNA testing has also revealed Irish blood on her artist father\u2019s side. \u201cI\u2019m a third Irish,\u201d Tilbury tells me, swishing her marvellous mane of red hair. \u201cMy mother is half Irish and I got a bit from my father. My mother\u2019s blonde and my father has dark hair, and the great aunts on my mother\u2019s side had red hair \u2013 so all the Irish genes came through for this girl here!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At the unveiling of her Holiday Collection campaign with singer Celine Dion in London, beauty mogul Charlotte Tilbury…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142551,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60,6361,7651,18364],"class_list":{"0":"post-142550","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-life-magazine","12":"tag-princess-diana","13":"tag-triona-mccarthy"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142550"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142550\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
