You may be Entitled to a Cash Payment from a Class Action Settlement if you used Beauty Tech Tools or Virtual Try On Tools on the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Inc. Website or Mobile App within the State of Illinois between December 1, 2019 and August 31, 2023

CHICAGO, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit that claims Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Inc. ("Charlotte Tilbury Beauty" or "Defendant") unlawfully collected, stored, and used individuals' biometric facial geometry while they used a beauty tech tool or other virtual try on tool on Charlotte Tilbury Beauty's website or mobile application within the state of Illinois.

The case is Halim v. Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Inc., et al., Case No. 2022-CH-11832, pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, before the Honorable Sophia H. Hall. The proposed Settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing by Charlotte Tilbury Beauty, and Charlotte Tilbury Beauty denies it violated the law. The Court has not made any determination that Charlotte Tilbury Beauty has violated the law. Rather, to avoid the time and expense of litigation, the parties have agreed to settle the lawsuit. That Settlement has been preliminarily approved.

Am I a Member of the Settlement Class?

You are a member of the Settlement Class if you used a beauty tech tool or any another virtual try on tool on the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty website and/or mobile application, regardless as to the manner in which such tools were accessed, including but not limited to, "Charlotte's Virtual Try On," "Pro Skin Analysis," "Foundation Shade Finder," "Complexion Edit," "Highlight Shade Finder," "How To Apply," "Blush Finder," and "Skin Reader," in the state of Illinois at any time between December 1, 2019 and August 31, 2023.

What Can I Get From the Proposed Settlement?

If you believe you are a member of the Settlement Class, you can fill out a short claim form and potentially receive approximately $700 to $1100 from a $2,925,000 Settlement Fund. The Settlement Fund will also be used to pay Settlement Administration Expenses, attorneys' fees, costs and expenses, Class Representative's incentive award. Each Settlement Class Member who submits a timely, valid Claim Form will receive an equal payment from the Settlement Fund. The exact amount of the payment depends on certain factors to be determined, including how many Settlement Class Members submit valid Claim Forms. To receive a payment, you must submit a Claim Form by January 2, 2025. You can file a Claim Form online at www.IllinoisBeautySettlement.com, or visit the website and download a Claim Form and submit it by email or mail.

The Settlement also requires Defendant to provide prospective relief, as explained in the detailed Notice and Settlement Agreement at the website listed below.

Object. You can also object to the Settlement, Class Counsel's request for attorneys' fees and expenses, and the request for an incentive award to the Class Representative if you disagree with them by December 18, 2024. The Court has appointed lawyers from the firms of Parasmo Lieberman Law and Schwartz Law PLLC to represent you as "Class Counsel."
