Charlotte Tilbury loses shine on market debut

Slow start: Kate Moss showcases the brand’s new lipstick 

Shares in the owner of make-up company Charlotte Tilbury lost their early shine on its stock market debut yesterday.

Barcelona-based Puig Brands – which also owns Carolina Herrera and Jean Paul Gaultier – listed at €24.50 a share in Madrid. 

That gave the group at value of £11billion in the biggest stock market float in Europe so far this year. 

The shares rose as high as €26.50 in early trading before closing back at €24.50.

Charlotte Tilbury, 51, set up her firm in 2013 and sold a majority stake to Puig in 2020.

She recently launched a campaign fronted by long-time friend and supermodel Kate Moss to showcase the brand’s new lipstick.
