Charlotte Tilbury Hel’s Bells Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deep berry with cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage that went on evenly and smoothly. It had light slip, so it didn’t cling or feel uncomfortable on, but it thinner than most lipsticks. This shade is a Matte Revolution formula, though it wasn’t truly matte to me. The color lasted for five hours, left a stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating. MAC Toung 'n' Chic (LE, $18.50) is less glossy (95% similar).

Charlotte Tilbury Tell Laura Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark orange-red with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich color payoff (not what I’d call buildable–you’d have to use just a pat and blend with fingertips for sheerer coverage!) that went on smoothly and evenly. This shade is in the Matte Revolution formula, and it had a more matte finish and felt a smidgen clingy, but this shade was denser and a little heavier than most of the Matte Revolution range. This shade wore well for four and a half hours and was neither just slightly hydrating. MAC Barbecue (LE, $19.00) is more muted (90% similar). Tarte Mai Tai (P, $22.00) is darker (95% similar).

Charlotte Tilbury Carina’s Love Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark red with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had medium, buildable coverage–in line with the Matte Revolution formula–that applied evenly and felt a little clingy due to the thinner consistency. The color lasted five hours and left a stain behind, but I found it a little drying after three hours. MAC Candy Cane (LE, $19.00) is cooler (95% similar).

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) has two variations–the original, Kissing, and the matte, Matte Revolution, both of which are featured in the Hot Lips collection. The Kissing formula is supposed to be pigmented and luminous, while also being hydrating, while the Matte Revolution formula is designed to be matte, buildable, hydrating, and long-wearing in a matte finish. The Kissing range is creamier, light-medium in weight, comfortable and hydrating, and average wearing (three to five hours with most shades). The Matte Revolution formula feels velvety, thinner and somewhat clingy (I find that they can sometimes emphasize the texture of my lips or highlight imperfections), wear four to six hours, and are drying to lightly hydrating. Both formulas have a sweet, vanilla scent with no discernible taste.
