Celine Dion shines like no other in Charlotte Tilbury’s 2025 Holiday campaign, and the makeup guru has gifted us with instructions on how to recreate the look at home.
Tilbury’s 2025 Magic Gift Universe kicked off in earnest in late fall with an epic campaign featuring none other than the music icon in her holiday collection featuring 29 dazzling pieces.
In it, Dion shines thanks to a glamorous look created by Tilbury’s niece, make-up artist Sophia Tilbury, as she performs her hit song ‘I’m Alive.’
The makeup guru tells PEOPLE that Dion was a natural choice for her collection’s campaign. The collection’s campaign aims to empower people to develop their own ‘star confidence’ and become the best and brightest versions of themselves.
“Celine has extraordinary strength, humor, and heart. Her voice and story touched the hearts of millions of people,” Tilbury tells PEOPLE, adding that the star “exemplifies everything I believe in: resilience, kindness, determination, and the ability to transform lives.”

The legendary makeup artist also said that she and Dion have something in common.
“We both understand the power of images and have always used beauty and music as powerful tools to inspire confidence. So whether it’s a song or a makeup product, we believe these tools are superpowers that switch your frequency and give you the power to pursue your dreams.”
She continued, “We share this mission of helping people transform the way they feel, and our authenticity is felt by our viewers, which is why we share this unique global resonance.”
No doubt, Dion needed a “sensational” look to match her glamorous presence.
“Firstly, as I always say, you can’t paint a beautiful painting without a beautiful canvas, so to get that iconic glow you need to prep your skin with my incredible magic cream,” Tilbury says of her “miracle” moisturizer that prepares her skin for makeup.
This is a Celine certified product. “She loves the cushioning, moisturizing, smoothing, and toning qualities of Airbrush Flawless Foundation, which feels light like air even after long wear,” says the makeup artist.

The makeup MVP is Tilbury’s Hollywood Instant Look in a Palette. It’s a “perfect for party season” all-in-one palette for eyes, cheeks, and face that’s part of the current holiday collection.
Coincidentally, this palette was one of the most requested palettes from previous holiday collections by fans, so Tilbury has revamped it and brought it back. “We’ve designed two new colorways that will effortlessly take you from your desk to the disco, from family dinners to hot dates, and from winter city breaks to the ski slopes of the Alps.”
For Dion’s makeup, Tilbury says, “We used both pretty, shimmery and dreamy, bronzed beauty palettes.” “It’s so quick and easy, you just have to follow each step. It’s like painting by numbers. No professional art skills required, darling!”
To get Dion’s “captivating eyes,” apply Rock ‘n’ Cole eyeliner and then apply a few coats of Ex-Gar Eyes Volume Mascara. Naturally, Tilbury combined the two into an exaggerated smokey eye kit for the holidays. According to her, this is “perfect to have in your clutch.”
Here are Tilbury’s tips for the star’s “perfect bulge.” Line your lips with the best-selling Pillow Talk Lip Cheat, then apply Icon Baby Lipstick, a flawless, cool nude rose in the hydrating Kiss formula found in my Iconic Hollywood Mini Lip Trio.
Tilbury says she completes the look with Viral’s Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, which “can’t be fooled.”
“You need this for party season. It stays on for 16 hours without gravity, is sweat-proof, dance-proof, transfer-proof, and party-ready. And with my Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray Duo, you get double the magic,” she shares.

All of these items will look and feel like a star (perhaps one by the name of Celine Dion), but there are plenty of other cool items in Tilbury’s 2025 Magic Gift Universe.
The makeup artist calls the range, which ranges from $40 to $390, “a treasure trove of my viral sensations, best-selling, and award-winning formulas,” making sure there’s something for everyone.
“This collection is out of this world and is destined to surprise and delight every star in your life,” she declares. But makeup gurus have a few favorites.

“This holiday season, I’m going to be reaching for the Magic Serum Crystal Elixir and the iconic Magic Cream. I always say they’re twice as magical when used together,” says Tilbury.
If glass skin is your thing, Tilbury says this duo will take the effect even further, creating a crystal-like finish on your skin.
“My Magic Serum is perfect for someone who usually avoids skincare because they don’t want to layer on hundreds of products,” she added. “It works like four in one: brightens, smoothes, intensely moisturizes, and unclogs pores. It absorbs into the skin so beautifully and when I apply my Magic Cream on top, it gives me the most gorgeous crystal skin effect.”

These two, along with Tilbury’s limited edition Magic Sculpting Gua Sha tool (used in every facial at London’s Skin Spa), are included in her iconic Magic Mini Skin Set this holiday season.
“I love gliding it over my skin after applying the Magic Serum Crystal Elixir and Magic Cream,” she says of the tool. “It has a relaxing, calming effect that relieves tension, and its unique lip shape makes it an instant icon.”
Is there another must-have item? Her limited edition Big Lip Plumpgasm Strawberry Chocolate. “It gives you the most stunning pink diamond effect and creates a 3D optical illusion glossy finish on your lips,” she says.

Among the makeup artist’s 2025 launches, featured in the holiday assortment is her latest fragrance, Star Confidence, which shares its name with this year’s theme.
The idea, Tilbury explains, is simple. “My unwavering belief is that with the right makeup, skin care, and fragrance, you can become your most beautiful, powerful, and alive self.”
“I truly believe that self-confidence sparks magical chain reactions and positive virtuous cycles. If one person is empowered, they can change their community and even change the world. This campaign is a celebration of that belief.”
