Amal Clooney's beauty agenda is as eternally glamorous as her industry-adored wardrobe.
As timeless yet contemporary as she is mesmerising, she knows a thing or two about the importance of a carefully crafted make up look to bring an outfit together. For the human rights lawyer and wife of George Clooney, this often comes in the form of full Charlotte Beauty glamour - the beauty industry icon who has now become somebody Amal calls a friend.
In a speech at the 2023 Fashion Awards, Amal reflected upon their first meeting, when Charlotte, armed with the goods, rocked up at her house for her wedding makeup trial. "We were both living in Notting Hill, and I booked her for this trial, and I was aghast because she showed up at my front door with five massive suitcases of products for this session," Amal revealed, "By the end of it, she was not only my makeup artist. She was my friend and at the wedding, she was our guest." - friendship goals.
Regardless of whether crafted by her good friend Charlotte or another A-list-adored MUA, Amal is always the epitome of elegance, be that via an Old Hollywood-esque lip look, Sophia Lauren-inspired hair or make-up looks that seamlessly blend with her dazzling outfits.
