Makeup artist and owner of the beauty brand of the same name, Charlotte Tilbury initially bought legal action over a breach of copyright against Aldi in December – accusations the discounter denied at the time.
However, the High Court found that the packaging of Aldi’s ‘Lacura Broadway Shape and Glow’, which retailed at £6.99, borrowed heavily from the design of Tilbury’s ‘Filmstar Bronze and Glow palette’, which sells for £49.
Aldi sold some 20,000 units of the lookalike bronzers before the action was bought and could be faced with paying substantial damages to Tilbury’s company Islestarr Holdings.
