Today, we’re taking a closer look at Charlotte Tilbury’s new Creator Academy and why so many people think it feels more like a content farm than an actual opportunity for small creators. On paper, it’s meant to help aspiring influencers break into the industry, but the expectations, workload, and lack of compensation tell a very different story. In this video, we unpack the program and what is really going on with programmes like this. *LET’S STAY CONNECTED!* Subscribe to my new Beauty Blog "Brushed Up" - https://robertwelsh.substack.com/?r=4nf54q&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=profile Instagram - @RobertWLSH Twitter - @RWLSHmakeup TikTok - RobertWelshMUA *DISCOUNTS* YESSTYLE | 10% OFF ORDERS OVER $49 CODE | ROBERT10 https://shrsl.com/4it5e SIGMA BEAUTY | 10% OFF CODE | Robert10 Https://sigmabeauty.com/ROBERT10 COLOURPOP | 10% OFF CODE | ROBERT https://colourpop.sjv.io/P26Z6 Olive young KBeauty CODE | ROBERTW1 https://global.oliveyoung.com/if/rd?su=DZLODI8A Flower Knows | 5% OFF CODE | RobertMUA https://flowerknows.co/?ref=RobertMUA

"Magic beauty star" sounds like a kids unicorn program my 8y old would watch.
Hi Robert, this totally checks out with the “community” that CT is attempting to create. I interviewed with CT multiple times, those of which were multiple phone calls and Skype calls before the in person interview. I passed with flying colors. Mind you I was up for one of the BA positions at Nordstrom. I did a full makeover in front of the DM and other higher ups along side with a in person interview. At the end I walked away feeling great only to get a phone call back, which I had to bug them about, before finally being told that I wasn’t “glam enough” to be considered for the position.
I LOVE that you’ve never cut CT any slack. I was used to, for literal years, watching MUAs kissing the ground she walks on. You were the first one that went, ‘It’s…fine. It’s just…fine.’ That rolls outta my mouth at least once a week to describe something 😅♥️
So it's an MLM with more steps and without the membership fee?
Lol not robert saying " its giving p.louise" ...SHADEEEEE THROWN 😂😂😂😂
The “perk” is becoming AI training data for CT ads
All of these instructions obviously being written by AI is also showing off another level of laziness and scamming
WE👏WILL 👏NOT 👏WORK👏FOR👏FREE👏! I'm sorry to break out the 2017 hand-clapping emphasis emoji but sometime it's needed.
Eeww I hate this so much. This is neither makeup nor academy. It's scummy. It's giving the toxic mother, 'I'll love you as soon as you do x,' then constantly moving that goalpost. This actually makes me sad.
“Magic Beauty Star” sounds like a mirror in the toy section at the Dollar Gentral.
27:29 if i’ve learned anything from ur videos it’s that brand always blame interns and that eye primer is actually very important 😭
23:03 trigger warning: men with boring conversation 😭
This is literally just having people work for free. This is crazy.
Smells like poopy MLM to me... Tier 50 - you have a new car Darling!!! LOL
Exploiting people, especially in this economy is, disgusting.
Every day I’m Happier to have never bought CT (and other brands) products!
Robert you are so f*****g brave. Calling out big brands makes you a GOAT. Thank you so much👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oooohhhh, never clicked so quick! Congratulations on your wedding. Hope you had the most amazing time 🖤❤💫
12:50 As an aspiring creator with a lot of self doubt, I needed to hear this 🖤
I’m SO glad you made this video!! So many brands do this, it’s not just CT!! I used to run a skincare instagram account but I kind of fell out of love with it because of programmes like this. It was exhausting. Brands that have very similar programmes: Drunk Elephant, Elemis and more!! So many more! The free UGC brands use for themselves is insane!
