Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Long-Lasting Lipstick Review

Whether or not you have voluminous lips, creating the illusion of a full pout is totally on-trend and solid, matte pigments are great for dramatic, sensual effects.

The Matte Revolution Luminous Long-Lasting Lipsticks are elegant and stylish with reflective gold tubes that remind me of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. What’s inside is even better because the 3D glowing pigments are designed to make lips look “lit from within” which is a trick often used on photo shoots to create fullness. The buildable formula is enriched with Tree and Orchid extracts to protect, soften and hydrate so you get beautiful matte color without flaking or dryness.

A nourishing blend of oils and waxes create a luxurious creamy texture that glides on effortlessly and coats lips in lightweight color without accentuating rough areas or lines. The lipsticks smell and feel wonderful with full-coverage saturation and great longevity. Unlike many matte formulas, these shades don’t dry down into a flat finish. Instead they retain a supple layer of moisture that glistens in the light creating the appearance of plump, youthful lips.

The angled, square tip is designed to mimic the shape of a lip brush for precise application and the edges seem to help shape and define the lip contours. Lost Cherry has pretty pink undertones that are vibrant but not too bold, Red Carpet is a classic, bombshell red that stands out beautifully on all skin tones and Amazing Grace is a muted pink with fresh peachy tones ideal for summer.

The lipsticks retail for $39.99 each and Charlotte Tilbury is available at Holt Renfrew, Nordsrtom and online at charlottetilbury.com/ca.
