Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Review

I love this lip pencil. It’s creamy and goes on easily, and it sharpens well. It helps my lipstick “stay on” longer as it survives better than the lipstick so it keeps the edges of my lips coloured. I have an uneven cupids bow so I use it to correct that. I have the colour Pillow Talk so it’s not too bad if the middle of my lipstick wears off when drinking my morning coffee, because it’s a very natural shade that almost perfectly matches my lip colour.

The packaging is lovely. It is a standard pencil with a cap but the colours make it look luxurious and I like it better than the twist lip liners.

Great pigment, absolutely gorgeous colours, no transfer or crumbling, I use the colour pillow talk which is just a slightly darker shade then my natural lips so it’s great to wear by itself with a bit of lip balm for those “natural” days. Rate all of CT products!!! 10/10

This lip liner is great. It has a slightly firm texture without too much slip, making it long-lasting and easy to work with, yet it's still creamy enough to glide on the lips smoothly. The formula is very pigmented, and I also love the fact that this lip liner is a sharpenable pencil rather than a twist-up. My favourite shades are 'Pillow Talk' which is a beautiful neutral pink colour and 'Iconic Nude' which is a slightly warm-toned brown.

I splashed out on this because after hearing so many amazing things about it I just had to try it.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk is I believe where the obession with Pillow Talk began.

The shade is a pinky brown, the texture is smooth and hydrating and the liner defines the lips easily, with no drag.

I would say it is the best lip liner I've tried because of its super smooth application and texture.

I never usually overline my lips, but with this liner I can and it actually looks good.

It's a winner for me.

I LOVE these lip liners. They are absolutely perfect for over lining the lips, something about them just makes over-lining look so natural! I have a few shades of this. Only downside is they are very expensive.

I purchased the Charlote Tilbury lip cheat in Pillow Talk after hearing it being called a must-have all over Instagram. I don't have an issue with dry lips, however lip liners in the past have often dried out my lips quickly and made my lipstick appear flaky. To avoid this, I only apply lip liner to line the outside of my lips, however this results in an obvious line, particularly after a few hours. The Charlotte Tilbury lip cheat in pillow talk changed my lipstick routine. I now reach for this lip liner almost every time I wear lipstick, not just on days where I really, really need it to last. This is because I notice zero dryness with this product, even after days of use. It makes no impact to the condition of my lips, but makes a beautiful difference to the appearance and longevity of my lipstick.

This lip liner is in bronze packaging and can be sharpened rather than rolled up. It isn't the most luxurious Charlotte Tilbury product, but it is beautiful for a lip liner. Inside is a soft, smooth lip liner that still remains a lip liner rather than a creamy lipstick. I personally wouldn't describe it as 'velvety' but to me that is a positive as velvety formulas tend to shift on my lips or fade quickly. This product is soft, but it still latches onto the lips. It is suitable for lining the lips, or lining and filling in.

The shade of this lipstick is difficult to describe as it changes a lot depending on the lips that it is applied to. On my hand, it is a very pink nude, however on my lips it deepens. This is really going to depend on the person.

I don't struggle with lipstick bleeding, so I use lip liner to enhance the pigmentation and longevity of my lipstick. When combined with CT Bitch Perfect, my lips are the perfect nude. It enhances the colour of the lipstick and makes a significant difference to how long my lipstick lasts. I would go as far as to say that this lip liner provides an extra 34 hours of fully applied, pigmented lipstick. I will repurchase this lip liner when it runs out, and I'm currently not searching for any other lip liners.
