She’s the beloved British makeup artist who Hollywood icons, professionals and editors, including myself, turn to whenever we want a polished, radiant look.
And there is nothing more beloved in Charlotte Tilbury’s namesake brand than her lipsticks, in particular her all-flattering nude “Pillow Talk” shade — which suits every sort of complexion and is a mainstay in all of my handbags.
But now, Charlotte has released a new line of lipsticks that pay homage to old Hollywood glamour.

The Hollywood Beauty Icon Lipsticks ($54) is a range of five different red and pink lipstick bullets that a red-carpet-ready radiant look in seconds.
The five sumptuous red colours — billed as suiting every skin tone — are matte in their finish, while the pretty pinks provide a “soft, satin finish” that’s perfect for date night.
Posting about the lipsticks’ release on Instagram, Charlotte wrote: “Darlings, my new Hollywood Beauty Icons Lipsticks are here and they are ready for their close-up!
“Super-flattering, beautifying, contour effect lip icons, my five new satin-shine pinks, five new modern matte reds and five new matching lip cheats are the stars of my dazzling new campaign, featuring an out-of-this-world cast of beauty muses.”
Product information about the Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks states that the pinks and reds have been specially chosen to suit every kind of skin undertone.
Formulated with Hollywood 3D effect glowing pigments, they aim to “help to architect the lips and give them the ultimate shape”.
“After years of studying Hollywood lip architecture, and decoding the perfect pink and red shades using her genius pigment scale, Charlotte has bottled the beauty DNA of Hollywood stars past and present to create the perfect lipstick and lip liner duos,” a Charlotte Tilbury spokesperson tells Best Picks.
Each of the 10 lipsticks is accompanied by a matching $39 lip liner — which has been made to even further improve and define your pout.
If you’re struggling to know which of the lipsticks is right for you, the British makeup pro has designed a handy new “lipstick shade finder”.
This will recommend you which lipstick and liner will suit you best after you answer four questions based on your skin tone, eye colour, hair colour and preferences.
I’ve been trialling the shades Red Carpet Pink and Cinematic Red for the past week, and can safely say I adore these lipsticks and they have real staying power.
I’m not the only one who loves them.
Despite the lipsticks being brand new, there are already a flood of positive reviews.
“Obsessed!” wrote one shopper.
“I received this today, and it’s a beautiful cool pink shade, quite dissimilar to any of Charlotte’s other lipstick shades,” another added.
“There is no warm or orange tones to it at all. It’s a lovely texture with full coverage and a nice sheen.”
The shopper added: “I’m very pleased that I bought it and have just ordered Icon Baby too, although that looks more warm toned than this one I think”.
The lipsticks and lip liners are all available now from Charlotte Tilbury’s website.
