Last month, Charlotte Tilbury launched her new line of liquid lipsticks. There are 10 shades of the Hollywood Lips liquid lipsticks and from the swatches I had seen online, I wanted them all!
The line consists mainly of nude shades. The shades range from Charlotte Darling, Charlotte's signature nude to Screen Siren a bright, bold red.
Charlotte describes the lipsticks as weightless and long wearing, as well as boasting anti-ageing properties and making the lips look fuller and plumper.
I love the formula of Charlotte Tilbury's Matte Revolution lipsticks which are so comfortable to wear and never feel dry as well as having amazing pigmentation. I was excited to try her new line of liquid lipsticks to see if they too had the same moisturising properties as her lipsticks, along with opaque coverage and the same luxurious packaging.

| Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Lips Matte Contour Liquid Lipstick in Too Bad I'm Bad |
After seeing swatches online, I opted for the shade Too Bad I'm Bad. Charlotte describes this as a "warm rosy pink" which "glides on seamlessly like a gloss yet feels completely weightless – like lingerie for your lips!"
These lipsticks are not cheap and retail at £24 in the UK, the same price as the normal Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks. A little steep but just look at the gorgeous colour and packaging! 😍 I purchased mine from feelunique.com.
The lipstick comes in Charlotte's signature burgundy packaging with rose gold embossed wording. The lipstick comes in a sleek rose gold tube which would look amazing on any vanity and has a window showing the colour of the lipstick which I personally love as it makes finding colours in my collection easier.
The doe foot applicator has a crescent-like shape which is supposed to help sculpt and contour the lips. I found there was no need to dip the applicator in to the tube again, one applicator full of product is more than enough product for the whole lip.
Upon application, the formula feels quite thick and creamy. Once applied evenly all over the lips, the lipstick looks smooth and my lips definitely looked fuller. The pigmentation is amazing and one swipe delivers opaque coverage. The lipstick dries down to a matte finish but isn't completely transfer-proof which is a little disappointing as being a new mummy, I'm always wanting to kiss and cuddle my baby without getting lipstick all over his cheeks/face!
The colour complements my skin tone and is a perfect everyday pink for me (for reference, I am an NC25-30 in MAC). Warm undertones mean it will work with orange and pink blushers which I love in a lipstick.
The colour and pigmentation of this lipstick really stand out for me. I love that it doesn't make my lips look or feel dry and have that "cracked" look. The formula is a little disappointing in that the lipstick isn't completely transfer-proof but that is the only downside to this lipstick. There is a barely there sweet, vanilla scent to this but nothing overpowering and this fades once applied to the lips.
Overall, I love this lipstick and formula and it definitely feels moisturising on the lips which is what I love in a liquid lipstick.
Will you be buying these?
