Twiggy has joined Kate Moss and Jourdan Dunn as part of Charlotte Tilbury’s latest Pillow Talk campaign. The 72-year-old supermodel posed against a pink-hued backdrop to promote the makeup line’s expansion, which includes an eyeshadow palette, cream shadow pots, highlighters and, in true Twiggy style, a volumising mascara.
“I am thrilled to be part of the Pillow Talk campaign,” Twiggy told People. “Charlotte is a friend, and I admire her achievements very much. It was such fun to work together. We laughed a lot.”
Now to the question we all want the answer to: what does her beauty routine look like? In terms of skin care, Twiggy revealed that keeping her dry complexion in check requires “a good night’s sleep [and] a healthy diet” plus Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream ($125, Charlotte Tilbury) as a “gorgeous everyday” moisturiser.
As for makeup? “[It’s] always been an important part of how I look, from the 1960s up until present day,” she said. Her dramatic lashes, which are iconic in their own right, were actually the product of an experimental 16-year-old Twiggy. “[They] would take me one and a half hours to apply, including three pairs of false eyelashes.”
To recreate the look for yourself, we recommend the Ardell Natural Lashes 120 Black Eyelashes ($10.99, Adore Beauty).
And 56 years on, not much has changed. Just as we can’t imagine Twiggy without her wispy doe-eyed lashes, it turns out she feels the same way: “I don’t feel fully dressed without my eyes on.”
Wow one and a half hours to do her lashes, that’s commitment for you.
Just dont have the time or patience to take this long over lashes.
Neither haha, I spend 30 seconds – if that!
Me neither. Mascara is my friend.
Yeah I think that is crazy!
One way to use your time I guess.
Nowadays it is easy to make lashes look like that in minutes. Some good mascaras out there that are amazing
I don’t wear mascara but would love to find a way to achieve this without makeup.
Wow, this is really time consuming routine.
Adore Twiggy, Biba, Mary Quant and the whole Swinging Sixties era!
Love Twiggy, Biba, Mary Quant and the Swinging Sixties era!
yes all great, I went to the Mary Quant exibition in Bendigo at the art gallery. It was amazing and I really enjoyed it.
All my comments on this are awaiting moderation! Gah!
Yikes, three pairs of falsies? Must have felt like she had a tarantula taped to her eyelids.
Each to their own I guess. I wouldn’t want to spend that time on applying lashes.
I wouldn’t have the patience.
Me either!
She used to paint the all lower lashes on with a paintbrush, so that’s why it took so long.
It’s great that the brand has a 72yo spokesmodel.
One and a half hours?! Omg no
Twiggy looks amazing!!!!
Wow, I just don’t have that much free time! I love her look though
One and a half hours, heck! Now all you need is 30 seconds with a good mascara!
Also, it’s fantastic that they chose 72 year old Twiggy as their spokesperson.
I have no idea who Twiggy is. This is also a lot of maintenance.
She was an iconic teen model in the 60s.
I love the look and sound of Charlotte Tilbury makeup and skincare, its just an expensive purchase for the first shop
She looked so very thin back in the days when she first came on the scene
I don’t feel dressed without my eyes on either but it’s just mascara for me.
Twiggy is amazing can understand that she wouldn’t feel fully dressed without putting on her Lashes. Myself I love to wear my Makeup everyday it makes me feel better.
My lashes never look like that.
Never had the patients for my eyelashes, and so many great mascara’s on the market to volumize my lashes to good enough in less than 2 minutes. Have to admit Twiggy lashes are amazing.
My eyes are too sensitive to use too much eye makeup, simple and natural for me.
I’m not spending that long on my eyes! Or all of my makeup, come to that.
Gee really!! Takes me a couple of minutes with a good mascara and eyelash curler!
I don’t take much time to do the makeup.
I am not a fan of spider leg lashes. Happy with a coat of fine black mascara.
Wow those lashes !
Omg if mine take longer than a minute I dint bother
Great post. I like basketball stars it too
My friends will be thrilled to receive this information and play the rolling ball 3d game if I share it with them.
the post is informative like basketball scout
I can totally see how great Twiggy would seem incomplete without her trademark lash accents. In my own case for geometry dash unblocked, I find that putting on makeup each day really enhances my mood.
3 pairs of falsies – I can’t even get one pair right! :S
