Charlotte Tilbury Glastonberry Matte Revolution Lipstick

Charlotte Tilbury Glasonberry Matte Revolution Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark purple–berry with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a thin, velvety texture that covered fairly evenly without tugging on the lips. This shade lasted for five and a half hours, and it left behind a subtle stain. It was neither drying nor hydrating while worn for me. MAC What Joy (LE, $17.00) is glossier (90% similar). Milani Flirt (LE, $8.99) is warmer, less glossy (85% similar). Kat Von D Exorcism (P, $20.00) is darker, more muted, warmer (85% similar). Illamasqua Shard (P, $24.00) is lighter (90% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

FORMULA SUMMARY | Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is supposed to be “long-lasting” with a “buildable, hydrating formula” that has a “modern-matte” finish. The texture has a more velvety consistency (think silicone-based face primers) that feels smooth and lightly creamy, but it is thinner and fairly lightweight. I find they cling slightly, but not in an uncomfortable way, with wear time that ranges from four to six hours. Some shades are drying, others are hydrating, and it seems to vary from shade to shade for me. The formula has a lightly sweet, vanilla-like scent but no discernible taste. They tend to be mostly opaque, and I wouldn’t describe them as buildable–just semi- to mostly opaque.
