Charlotte Tilbury Nude Lips

Kylie Jenner's FLAWLESS makeup at this year's Met Ball was created by makeup artist Ariel Tejada for Charlotte Tilbury. The nude lip was so beautiful that I had to find out which of Charlotte's lipsticks was used. It was Penelope Pink and I just had to try it. I also picked up Lip Cheat in the shade Pillow Talk








Don't be fooled by the name. As you can see in the swatch, Penelope Pink is not really pink at all. It's a lovely nude shade in a creamy satin finish. It feels very comfortable and lasts for a good few hours. It almost has a plumping effect on my lips, smoothing the appearance of lines. It's so flattering! It has a very light vanilla scent, ever so slightly more subtle than Mac lipsticks. 
Also, can we just talk about the packaging?! My three year old daughter calls this my 'fancy' lipstick and she's not wrong. It just feels luxurious. 

Charlotte's Lip Cheats claim to enable you to reshape and re-size your lips, and  Pillow Talk is very similar to my natural lip colour. The formula is almost velvet, creamy but matte. The natural shade really does make ever so slight overlining really easy. 

Pillow Talk on the left side, nothing on the right.
 I never used to wear lip liners unless I was wearing a bold lip, but I can't believe the difference they make! Nude liners are my faves. Both the lipstick and the liner make me want to try more shades from the range. 
I got mine from John Lewis.
