Multimillionaire makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury said she never lets her husband of seven years see her in the bedroom without mascara and eyeliner.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Tilbury, whose products are often touted by those in Hollywood's inner circles, addressed rumors that her husband has never seen her without makeup. "I have my bedroom eye. I take off my make-up, do my skincare, then I put on my Color Theory eyeliner that lasts 16 hours and my mascara," she said.

"George has never seen me without a bedroom eye. Never! I tell you, keep the magic alive," Tilbury, 48, added.

According to the Times of London, the British makeup artist married her second husband George Waud, a film producer, in 2014. Together the couple share two children.

It's not the first time Tilbury's bedroom makeup rules have made headlines. In 2016, The Cut reported that Kim Kardashian, who calls Tilbury her "hero," said the beauty mogul had taught her how to sleep with makeup on. Speaking to The Cut at the time, Tilbury said her bedroom eye makes her "feel sexy."

"I take off all my eye makeup, and then I reapply it," she added.

Later in the interview, the makeup mogul discussed the power she believes it can give: "At 13, I understood the power of makeup and the way it changed my life. I understood how you could feel so empowered, confident, and amazing when you looked in the mirror and felt great about loving the way you look."

In an email to Insider, however, board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick said that Tilbury's routine of leaving makeup on overnight could lead to various skin issues.

"Wearing makeup to sleep is generally not recommended as it can contribute to clogged pores and irritation of the skin," Garshick wrote. "If you're wearing makeup it may prevent any other skincare ingredients that may be designed to help your skin recover from the day to penetrate as well and be effective."

When it came to eye makeup, particularly mascara and eyeliner, Garshick warned that leaving them on when going to bed could "lead to irritation or clog the small glands around the eye and lead to inflammation" as well as have "the potential to rub off on your pillow and cause irritation elsewhere on the face."

Representatives for Charlotte Tilbury did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
