The Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Buys That Work For Everyone

By Victoria Hall and Vanessa Zaree

Not even Charlotte Tilbury could have predicted that Pillow Talk, a pinky nude lipstick shade, would have become such a makeup phenomenon. What started as a flattering lipstick shade in 2013 has evolved into a fully-fledged, must-have makeup collection over a decade later. We want to wear Pillow Talk across our lips, eyes and cheeks.

Why Is Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk So Popular?

It’s the million dollar question that’s easily answered once you’ve tried Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk. The cleverly formulated shade flatters everyone; whether you’ve got a pale or dark skin tone, Pillow Talk is the nude hue that won’t leave you looking washed out. We probably shouldn’t be saying this, but we’ve been known to use the lipstick as a cream blush when we’re out and about, and it's equally as flattering on cheeks too.

10 Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Buys To Have In Your Makeup Bag

Pillow Talk Beauty Soulmates Palette, £ 43,00

One can never have too many blushes – especially when they come in the form of a heart-shaped palette. This powder blush and finishing powder duo take inspiration from the Pillow Talk universe and work harmoniously together to smooth the appearance of skin, optically lift and brighten the complexion. With two ultra-wearable palettes to choose from (a soft pink and gorgeous peach), they are, quite simply, what beauty dreams are made of.

Pillow Talk Love Effect Lipstick - Matte Revolution, £ 29,00

There’s something about Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks that always keeps us coming back for more – and these limited-edition lipsticks are no exception. An ode to all things love, these new bullets come in four universally flattering shades and two finishes (matte and satin) that promise to make lips look and feel pillowy-soft, hydrated and even more kissable. We also love that they’re housed in cases adorned with light-reflecting jewel hearts.

Matte Revolution Lipstick, £ 29,00

This is the icon that started it all – the nude lipstick that works for an impressive amount of people (at one point, there was one being sold every few seconds). Soothing, hydrating, flattering… there’s not much to say about this award winner that hasn’t been said already. We love it teamed with its matching lip liner or one that’s a little darker, and we’d go as far as saying that it’s the perfect everyday lipstick. Plus, for those with medium and deeper skin tones who may prefer a slightly deeper nude, there is a medium version too.

Taking inspiration from another Charlotte Tilbury icon, the Contour Wand, this blush has an irresistible light-reflecting, soft-focus effect that makes you look beautifully healthy. Squeeze out a dot (or more) across your cheeks, blend upwards with a brush and you’re good to go.

Pillow Talk Lip & Cheek Glow, £ 30,00

The crowd-pleasing cream blusher is back and we’ve already bought two – one for now and one for later when it’s sold out and we can be smug for thinking ahead. While the Colour of Dreams is a fresh peachy pop of colour, the Colour of Passion offers a richer berry hue. The balmy texture is lightweight and non-sticky, sitting comfortably on lips and cheeks. You can apply with a brush, sponge or fingers and layer up the colour for a stronger look.

Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes - Dream Pop, £ 28,00

Fans of the brand will already be aware of the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes Mascara, £ 16,00, which is one of the best mascaras for a lifted and defined look. How does the latest offering differ? Well, it’s all about the shade, Dream Pop. The berry-brown hue brings all the lash-lifting and lengthening power of the OG, but in a softer, subtler finish.

Pillow Talk Multi-Glow, £ 35,00

The Pillow Talk Multi-Glow is one of those gorgeous products that’s almost too pretty to use. However, we fully recommend you not only buy it, but also use it as the combination of cool nude and pink tones will give your cheekbones that glorious sheen as the light catches it. In terms of finish, think glass skin rather than glitter bomb.
