Here is my Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipsticks Review swatch.
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lipsticks are iconic. I feel like they are everywhere. Almost every makeup lover talks about them, recommends them, or already owns one. For a long time, I was curious but also careful. Nude lipsticks can be tricky. Pinky brown shades can look amazing on one person and very different on another.
So instead of guessing, I decided to try four shades properly. I used Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk, Pillow Talk Fair, Pillow Talk Medium, and Pillow Talk Deep. I tested them on different days, with different makeup looks, and in real life situations. After spending time with all of them, I finally understand why this collection is so popular.
At the same time, I also learned which shades work best for me and which ones I enjoy less.
The first thing I noticed with Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lipsticks is comfort. These lipsticks feel very easy on the lips. They do not feel heavy. They do not feel thick. They also do not dry the lips.
Pillow Talk Fair and Pillow Talk Deep are in the K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula. This formula is my favorite from Charlotte Tilbury. It feels creamy and soft. There is a slight shine, but not too much. Lips look smooth and healthy. Dry lines do not stand out.
Pillow Talk and Pillow Talk Medium feel slightly different. They still glide easily, but they feel more classic. The finish is more satin than creamy. They sit nicely on the lips and look polished.
None of these lipsticks feel sticky. None of them feel oily. Wearing them feels natural, like your lips but better. That is something I really appreciate in everyday makeup.
Pillow Talk Fair Color Review
Pillow Talk Fair is very light. On my lips, it looks almost pastel pink nude. The shade is soft and delicate. It gives a very fresh and innocent look.
To be honest, it is a bit too fair for me on its own. Without lip liner, it can wash me out slightly. With a lip liner, it looks much better. The formula, however, is beautiful. This is one of the reasons I still enjoy using it.
Pillow Talk Fair is perfect if you love very light nude lips or if you have a very fair skin tone. It also works nicely for soft makeup days. I like it when I want minimal makeup and a clean look.
Pillow Talk Original Color Review
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk is the most famous shade in this range. This is the color everyone knows.
On my lips, it looks like a balanced pink nude with a touch of brown. It is not too warm. It is not too cool. That balance makes it very easy to wear.
This shade works with almost any makeup look. Soft eyes, strong eyes, no makeup makeup, or full glam. It always fits. That is probably why it is so popular.
For everyday use, this shade is very safe. I reach for it when I do not want to think too much about my lip color. It always looks good and polished.
Pillow Talk Medium Color Review
Pillow Talk Medium is one of my favorites. This shade has more depth and richness compared to the original Pillow Talk. It looks more mature and elegant on the lips.
On my skin tone, Pillow Talk Medium feels very flattering. The color has a warm pink brown tone, but it still looks natural. It makes the lips stand out more without being too bold.
For daily makeup, this is one of the best shades in the collection. It looks great with neutral eyes. It also works beautifully with bronzed makeup looks.
If I had to choose only one shade from this range for everyday use, Pillow Talk Medium would be a strong choice.
Pillow Talk Deep Color Review
Pillow Talk Deep surprised me. I expected to love it more than I did. The formula is beautiful. The K.I.S.S.I.N.G texture feels amazing on the lips. It feels creamy and comfortable all day.
Color wise, however, it pulls quite warm on me. On my lips, it looks more brown than pink. Because of that warmth, it is not my favorite shade in this range.
That does not mean it is a bad color. It would look stunning on warmer skin tones or on someone who loves brown nude lips. For me, it feels a bit too warm.
I still enjoy using it sometimes, especially with warmer makeup looks, but it is not the shade I reach for first.
Overall Impression
If you love pinky brown nude lipsticks, this collection is worth exploring. My personal favorites are Pillow Talk Medium for everyday use and Pillow Talk Fair for the formula alone. Pillow Talk Deep is beautiful but a bit too warm for my taste.
These lipsticks feel easy, elegant, and wearable. They are the kind of products you reach for without thinking. For me, that is always a good sign.
If you want one lipstick that works with almost everything, start with Pillow Talk or Pillow Talk Medium. If you love a softer look, Fair is lovely. And if you enjoy warmer, deeper nudes, Deep might be perfect for you.
Packaging and Overall Look
The packaging is classic Charlotte Tilbury. The gold case looks elegant and luxurious. It does not feel heavy, but it also does not feel cheap.
The lipstick clicks shut properly, which I like. It feels secure in a makeup bag. The design is simple but iconic.
Visually, these lipsticks feel like luxury makeup without being too flashy.
Wear Time and Comfort Throughout the Day
These lipsticks have good longevity for creamy formulas. They are not transfer proof. They will fade after eating. That is normal.
What I like is how they fade. The color wears off evenly. Lips still feel soft. There is no dryness or patchiness.
Reapplying is easy. The formula layers nicely. It never looks heavy or cakey.
Overall Impression
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lipsticks deserve their popularity. The formulas feel comfortable. The colors are wearable. The packaging feels luxurious.
My personal favorites are Pillow Talk Medium and Pillow Talk Fair, mainly because of how they feel on my lips. Pillow Talk is a great classic option. Pillow Talk Deep is beautiful but a bit too warm for my taste.
If you love pinky brown nude lipsticks, this collection is worth trying. Each shade offers something slightly different. There is a reason so many people keep coming back to these lipsticks.
