Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter Shades

Few makeup products have achieved cult status quite like Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter. Loved by makeup artists, celebrities, and beauty editors alike, this radiance-boosting complexion enhancer sits somewhere between a primer, highlighter, and sheer foundation. The result? Lit-from-within skin that looks airbrushed in real life.

But with 12 Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter shades to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you? Below, we’ve broken down every shade in the range with tips on undertones, coverage tricks, and how to wear it whether you’re aiming for all-over glow or a subtle highlight.

1. Shade 1 – Fair

Best for the palest skin tones with neutral undertones. This shade delivers a porcelain luminosity without turning too pink or too yellow.

2. Shade 2 – Fair/Light

Perfect if you’re fair with warm undertones and want a touch more golden radiance. A popular choice for those who burn easily but still have a hint of warmth in their skin.

3. Shade 2.5 – Fair/Medium

A bridge shade designed for light skin with neutral-olive undertones. This is a go-to for people who find Shade 2 too warm but Shade 3 too deep.

4. Shade 3 – Light/Medium

Best for light to medium skin tones with golden undertones. This is one of the brand’s bestsellers and often used as a universal highlighting shade.

5. Shade 4 – Medium

A versatile option for medium skin with neutral undertones. Works beautifully worn alone on summer days when you want just a veil of glow.

6. Shade 4.5 – Medium/Neutral

If you sit between medium and tan skin with olive undertones, this shade gives balance without looking orange. Many makeup artists use it as a natural bronzer shade too.

7. Shade 5 – Tan

Ideal for warm, tan skin tones with golden undertones. It adds warmth and radiance without dulling the natural richness of your complexion.

8. Shade 5.5 – Tan/Deep

Suits medium-tan to deeper olive tones with neutral undertones. Many describe this as the “holiday glow” shade—perfect after sun.

9. Shade 6 – Deep

A rich shade for deep skin tones with golden undertones. Enhances luminosity while keeping the natural depth of the complexion.

10. Shade 6.5 – Deep/Neutral

Best for deeper complexions with neutral or red undertones. This shade works seamlessly under or over foundation without altering your base.

11. Shade 7 – Dark

Designed for very deep skin with neutral-cool undertones. It maintains radiance without any ashy finish.

12. Shade 8 – Deepest Dark

The deepest in the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter shades, made for very deep skin with warm undertones. It brings rich glow and dimension without masking natural skin tone.

How to Choose the Right Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter Shade

• Match to undertones: Fair = neutral, Medium = olive, Tan = golden, Deep = red/neutral.
• Decide how you’ll wear it: Alone (choose your exact match), under foundation (go half a shade lighter for glow), or as highlighter (pick one to two shades lighter).
• Pro Tip: Many beauty insiders keep two Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter shades—one for all-over radiance and one as a natural highlight.
