Charlotte Tilbury's K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Pillow Talk Fair, described by shoppers as the 'perfect pink nude', has been reduced from £29.50 to £23.60 on Cult Beauty for a limited time. Senior shopping writer Eve Rowlands wore the shade on her wedding day three years ago and reports that it lasted from midday to midnight.
A bridal staple with lasting power
Rowlands, who frequently wears the brand's bestselling formulas, noted that the lipstick kept her lips sculpted, kissable and glamorous throughout her special day, withstanding drinks, food and first kisses. The shade offers just enough colour for a boost without being too bold, making it a dream choice for brides.
The moisturising lipstick promises 'non-drying' and 'flexible' colour that keeps skin supple and soft. It is packed with waxes to help prevent feathering and infused with 'lipstick tree' extract and crambe oil to provide extra protection against UV damage and pollutants while adding moisture.
Shopper reviews praise the shade
Rowlands attested to these claims, having seen photos where her makeup was fully intact at 8pm, nine hours after application, with only minimal retouching. She credited setting spray for helping but found the staying power remarkable and purchased a top-up in the following weeks.
One five-star reviewer said: "Excellent long-wearing lipstick. Bought it to wear on my wedding day, the colour was perfect for a natural look (my makeup artist recommended it)." Another, who bought it in a limited edition kit, added: "I bought this set for my wedding day. It was perfect. It's just enough to feel elegant and pretty, but not too much for me on the wedding day."
Alternatives and mixed feedback
Not all reviews were glowing, with one user saying: "Very good quality lipstick, but it is too pink for me," and another commenting: "Too light, blends in with my lip colour." For those seeking a more beige undertone, MAC's Macximal Silky Matte Lipstick in Warm Teddy (£25, LookFantastic) offers a deeper nude hue, while the Kiko Milano £12.99 3D Hydra Lip Stylo provides a hydrated, radiant finish in 18 shades.
Another positive review noted: "I bought this wonderful lipstick to complete my full Charlotte Tilbury makeup look for my son's wedding, it didn't disappoint. Stayed in place all day long, I only reapplied once later that night and it looked amazing in pictures."
