Witchcraft, a practice steeped in legends and folklore, has been a subject of fascination for centuries. The idea of individuals possessing supernatural powers to manipulate the natural world and alter the course of events has both terrified and captivated people throughout history. While the concept of witchcraft may vary across cultures, one constant remains - the belief in a mystical force that can be harnessed by those with the knowledge and skill. Hand in witchcraft holds significant symbolism. It is believed that certain gestures, hand positions, and even the lines on a person's palm can indicate their connection to the magical realm. Hand gestures have been used in spells and rituals to invoke spirits, cast spells, or protect oneself from evil forces.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation and Magic Complexion Brush Review
There are a number of new foundation launches this year and I’ve been working my way through testing several different formulas and brands. One of the formulas that I’ve been most excited about is the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation ($44 for 30 ml/1.0 fl oz, made in Italy). This is described as a long-lasting foundation with flawless poreless coverage. It does indeed minimize the look of pores, covers dark circles and gives the skin a more brightened look. There is a new brush that launched called the Magic Complexion Foundation Brush ($55) which I’ve also been playing with. Thoughts on this one in this post as well.
The Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation comes in 15 shades and has an SPF 15. It’s packaged in a glass bottle with a plastic pump dispenser. I find two pumps sufficient to cover the entire face. There are a number of glowy foundation formulas on the market this season – I’m all about the glow, but for foundations I prefer a finish that isn’t too dewy because I have normal combination skin. What I like the best about the new foundation from Charlotte Tilbury is the formula brightens my skin, has enough coverage to covers imperfections and dark spots, and has a natural luminous look without being too dewy. I still need to set with powder, I’ve been using either the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder or the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Skin Perfecting Powder #2. With either one I get long-lasting wear, it lasts all day long well into the afternoon with minimal touch ups needed (just a tiny blot on the nose for me).
It’s recommended that you use the new foundation in conjunction with the other
Charlotte Tilbury face products such as the Magic Cream, Mini Miracle Eye Wand and Magic Complexion Foundation Brush for the best looking
skin, but I find you can use it over a wide range of moisturizers or
combine it with other concealers. It’s a pretty versatile formula that
offers medium to full coverage. It evens out the skin and offers smooth
flawless coverage.
In terms of color and formula, many know that I had a hard time finding a good match in the Light Wonder Foundation Formula. My closest match winter match was either 4 or 5, but I found I had to mix colors. During the summer I got a lot darker and found 7 to be my best match. Right now for the Magic Foundation formula, I can get away with either 5 or 6. The color adjusts and warms up slightly on the skin after it sets. It doesn’t oxidize too much which is good, but it will warm up a tiny bit.
Some swatch comparisons below. The corresponding shades for the Light Wonder vs Magic are pretty similar. I find the Magic Foundation 5 to be slightly less pink than the Light Wonder 5.
Next up are some thoughts on the new Magic Complexion Foundation Brush.I had high expectations for the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Complexion Foundation Brush as it seemed very similar to the Tom Ford Cream Foundation Brush but priced at a much more affordable price. When I opened the box I was disappointed to see loose hairs flying everywhere. It shed like crazy however after I washed it, the shedding stopped. The ends of the brush look like they have been machine cut. Comparing this to the Tom Ford, the Tom Ford Brush is significantly softer, better made, and seems to be of better quality overall. That being said, the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Complexion brush does perform just as well as the Tom Ford. It buffs the foundation into the skin for a streak-free flawless finish. If you’re looking for a foundation brush that’s soft and will buff in product to a smooth finish, I think it’s something worth looking into. The one from Charlotte Tilbury has a looser fluffier feel that isn’t quite as dense which I find makes it easier to smooth over the larger areas of the face in a circular motion. Here’s a look at both after they’ve both been washed and dried.
In terms of how to apply the Magic Foundation, I think you can use fingers, a beautyblender sponge, or any foundation brush. In the week I’ve been testing this formula, I’ve been using the new Magic Complexion Brush and it’s been working well (that is once I washed it).
Overall I give the new Magic Foundation formula a huge thumbs up. For me I don’t detect any noticeable scent which is a plus. It has sunscreen but doesn’t irritate my super sensitive skin. It has enough coverage to even out the skin and cover my under eye area so I don’t need concealer (but I still use it). Lasting power is good. Finish is more on the natural matte side and looks like your skin but better. I really love the formula of the Magic Foundation – even more so than the Light Wonder and as someone who likes decent coverage but want something that still looks like skin, I’m thrilled with this one. The Magic Complexion Foundation Brush is nice to have, but for me it’s not a must. I do really like the way it performs and I was relieved that the shedding stopped once I washed it. You can use the tools in your current beauty kit to get similar results.

Have you tried either of these new launches yet? If yes, what did you think? I’d be curious to know what color you’re matched to if you have!

The act of gesturing or making specific hand signs during a ritual is believed to enhance the practitioner's connection to the spiritual realm and amplify their intentions. For example, forming a specific hand mudra during a spell or ritual can help focus and direct the energy towards a desired outcome. The study of palmistry, also known as chiromancy, has been intertwined with witchcraft for centuries. The lines on a person's hand are thought to reveal aspects of their personality, fate, and even potential magical abilities. Practitioners of witchcraft often analyze the lines on their hands to gain insight into their magical potential or guide their spellwork. Palmistry can also be used to determine someone's compatibility, making it a valuable tool in love spells and enchantments. Despite its rich history and cultural significance, witchcraft has often been stigmatized and associated with evil or dark forces. Accusations of witchcraft have led to widespread persecution and the infamous witch trials throughout history. Today, however, witchcraft is experiencing a revival and is being embraced as a spiritual practice by many individuals seeking a deeper connection with nature and their own personal power. In conclusion, the hand in witchcraft holds a special place of importance. It serves as a conduit for magical energies, a tool for casting spells and rituals, and a source of divination through palmistry. The study of hand symbolism and gestures adds depth and meaning to witchcraft practices, allowing practitioners to tap into their innate abilities and explore the mystical world that lies within..

1. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Witchcraft hand original. The instructions were difficult to understand and the product itself was low-quality. The materials used felt cheap and the hand didn't fit well. After trying it out, I found that it didn't really help with any of the tasks it claimed to assist with. Overall, it was a waste of money and I would not recommend it.
2. Mike - 2/5 stars - The Witchcraft hand original had a lot of hype surrounding it, but it failed to impress me. It was uncomfortable to wear and the design seemed outdated. Additionally, the hand gestures required to control it were difficult to master and not very intuitive. I also experienced some technical glitches during use. While the idea behind the product was interesting, the execution fell short for me.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - I purchased the Witchcraft hand original hoping it would improve my productivity, but I found it to be more frustrating than helpful. The hand tracking was often inaccurate, leading to constant re-calibration. The controls were also not very responsive and I had to repeatedly make the same gestures for it to register. The overall experience was underwhelming and I ultimately returned the product.
4. John - 1/5 stars - The Witchcraft hand original was a complete waste of money. The hand was uncomfortable to wear and the materials used felt flimsy.
