LIVING THE DREAM
Charlotte Tilbury celebrates the 10th anniversary of her wildly popular Pillow Talk collection with another brand-new innovation
It all began in 2013, when British make-up artist-turned- entrepreneur Charlotte Tilbury MBE created a lip liner to mimic the natural colour of a woman’s lips for an instantly fuller, widerlooking pout. The Pillow Talk Cheat Lip Liner immediately captured the world’s attention, setting off a revolution in beauty and inspiring an entire collection of products for lips, eyes and cheeks.
“There was a gap in the market for a nudey-pink shade that mimics natural lip pigments and suits everyone, so to innovate my iconic Pillow Talk Lip Cheat, I studied the tones that nature naturally blesses us with,” Tilbury says. “Then what I did for the lips, I did for the eyes and cheeks – innovating a whole world of Pillow Talk!”
From the Pillow Talk Lip Cheat Lip Liner, the # 1 liner in the US and UK with one sold every minute, the iconic collection has grown to include the hydrating and longlasting Matte Revolution lipstick, the luminous and soft-focus Beauty Light Wand, the sof t- contouring Luxury Palette for eyes and the volumising Push Up Lashes! Mascara.
Over the years, Ti lbury has introduced new shades, textures and special editions to help women everywhere feel and look the best version of themselves. As Tilbury says, “Pillow Talk is not just a colour, it’s a beauty realm to make all your beauty dreams come true!”
Now, to celebrate the past “decade of dreams”, Tilbury is revealing her latest innovation – the Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand. Available in three shades, the easy-to-use cushion
applicator effortlessly glides across the skin for a gorgeous Pillow Talk blush and glow. The buildable colour, infused with light-reflecting pigments for a smoothing, soft-focus finish, allows you to dial up your look from day to date to disco in seconds. “It’s a fool-proof, quick and easy liquid blush for pretty, fresh, loved-blushed cheeks!” Tilbury says.
As an award-winning make-up artist who has created countless cover looks and campaigns for the world’s leading magazines and fashion houses, and having once worked up to 40 shows a season, Tilbury has a host of tips and secrets when it comes to flattering your face shape. For one, a pop of colour on the cheeks can be totally transformative – especially if you tailor it to your unique facial features. The right placement can highlight high cheekbones, make your face appear more sculpted or add softness to angular features. For the ultimate Pillow Talk cheeks, try contouring with the Hollywood Contour Wand, adding some glow with the Beauty Light Wand and finishing with a dot (or more) of the Matte Beauty Blush Wand blended from the apples of the cheeks towards the top of the ear.
