Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Exagger-Eyes Liner Duo Review & Swatches

Hollywood
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Exagger-Eyes Liner Duo ($30.00 for 0.03 oz.) is a new, dual-ended eyeliner that included a shimmery peach on one side and a matte black on the other. Neither eyeliner was without flaws; they weren’t as pigmented nor as effortless to use as marketed, though they wore decently.

Hollywood (Metallic)
Hollywood (Metallic) is a light peach with strong, warm undertones and flecks of pink and gold pearl that gave it a metallic sheen. It had medium to semi-opaque color coverage that was buildable, but as I built it up, the product thickened and wasn’t as smooth as it should have been. The texture was dense, lightly creamy but could of had more glide to ensure a better application. It lasted for eight hours before fading visibly on me.

Hollywood (Matte)
Hollywood (Matte) is a deep black with neutral undertones and a matte finish. The texture was lightly creamy with moderate glide, though I had some initial issues with the product breaking apart until I sharpened it–not just where the tip snapped off upon first swatch but almost like it crumbled. It seemed fine after sharpening, though, but still was an unusual experience. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that stayed on well for eight hours before fading/thinning.

I really like the peachy shade – that is a beautiful colour. And when I looked at the dupe list, I found that barely any other brand could do this shade well.
The matte black looks awful – really dry looking and hard to use. There are lots of matte black eye pencils around, so perhaps another shade chosen would have made this duo more noticeable.
Eyeliners are my jam and a duo is great for travelling but the black is a hot mess so I’ll pass on this one. I really want to be talked into buying something from CT but so far it hasn’t happened!
