Charlotte Tilbury Liv It Up Lipstick

Charlotte Tilbury Liv It Up Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a creamy, lightly glossy finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation that applied somewhat evenly, but it had moderate slip and moved around on the lips easily so it looked streaky at times. The color lasted for four hours, while the formula was lightly hydrating. MAC Please Me (P, $17.00) is lighter, less glossy (90% similar). Urban Decay Criminal (P, $17.00) is warmer (90% similar).

Charlotte Tilbury Bosworth’s Beauty Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium peony pink with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good color coverage, but it’s not what I’d call buildable as it starts of nearly opaque. The texture is thin, a little clingy, and isn’t the most flattering consistency on the lip as it accentuates any imperfections/texture on the lips. It lasted for four hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. Colour Pop Fetch (P, $5.00) is lighter (85% similar). Bite Beauty Sweety (LE, $24.00) is lighter, warmer (85% similar). MAC Silly (LE, $17.00) is lighter (80% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Jolly Molly (220) (P, $30.00) is lighter, glossier (80% similar). Maybelline Pink Sugar (P, $7.99) is lighter (80% similar).

This shade lasted for five hours and was a little drying while settling into lip lines slightly. Maybelline Fiery Fuchsia (P, $7.49) is cooler (95% similar).

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) has two variations–the original, Kissing, and the matte, Matte Revolution, both of which are featured in the Hot Lips collection. The Kissing formula is supposed to be pigmented and luminous, while also being hydrating, while the Matte Revolution formula is designed to be matte, buildable, hydrating, and long-wearing in a matte finish. The Kissing range is creamier, light-medium in weight, comfortable and hydrating, and average wearing (three to five hours with most shades). The Matte Revolution formula feels velvety, thinner and somewhat clingy (I find that they can sometimes emphasize the texture of my lips or highlight imperfections), wear four to six hours, and are drying to lightly hydrating. Both formulas have a sweet, vanilla scent with no discernible taste.
