What the gurus are saying

The satin formula earns praise for feeling comfortable on the lips and delivering a classic, flattering nude that many reach for regularly. The cool undertone works well as a base under other shades or worn alone, though one tester preferred the matte version of Pillow Talk overall. A standout point for several gurus: Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks tend toward a subtle vanilla scent that fades quickly, rather than the heavy florals that can clash with food and drink later in the day.

"My lip trifecta is Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk in the shade Fair, the lip cheat liner, the lipstick, and if I'm really going for it, the lip gloss over it as well. It's just the best trifecta of all time, I love it."
Top Pick: lip trifecta

"Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Fair is a classic bullet lipstick, more of a satin lipstick. It runs on the cool tone side, which is why I love to pair it with Almond and Fig, and it just kind of brightens things a little bit. If you're wanting a little more of a classic lipstick combo, I've been wearing Pillow Talk Fair quite a bit."

"Charlotte Tilbury, although I don't like the products, is a perfect example of understanding culture. They didn't just launch a hit product, they made Pillow Talk into a TikTok sound, that's how deeply they understood it."

"The satin cream formula feels very comfy on my lips. I like it better than I thought. It's not bad, it's actually pretty. I feel like I just want to wear it with a lip liner, but no, it's not bad. The regular Pillow Talk matte I think I like better, but I don't know which one I prefer. Since buying this, the regular one has been what I've been using the most recently."

"Charlotte Tilbury is great. This brand has some really nice lipsticks and the thing I like about them is a lot of brands have like strongly scented or flavored lipsticks, what I found with Charlotte Tilbury is most of them taste like vanilla which is really nice and then it fades. I can't stand some of those florally scented lipsticks they just end up tasting awful after a while and some of them like if I'm gonna drink coffee or something it ends up kind of affecting that, so I really prefer not to have too much flavor in it."
Approved
"I used to buy this all the time. This is a brand new one though. I like to always have a little bit of a nude color underneath my lipstick and that's what makes my lipstick stay and it also makes my lips look like they're bigger. It's so pretty, one of the best lipstick colors ever made."
Top Pick: lipstick color
