Charlotte Tilbury The Pretty Pink Lip Set Review & Swatches
The Pretty Pink
Charlotte Tilbury The Pretty Pink Lip Set ($60.00 for 0.28 oz.) includes a creamy, pink-coral and muted, deep coral lipsticks paired with a matte, dusty rose pencil. The lipsticks were decent to good, while the lip pencil worked well (and was consistent with the individual pencil I had from before). I tried to layer the three together, but I didn’t feel the lighter lipstick (Blushing Dream) did much to the color of the deeper lipstick (Rose Kiss).

Blushing Dream
Blushing Dream is a soft, medium pink with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had good pigmentation with a smooth, creamy texture that was light-medium in thickness but not heavy to wear. The lipstick applied comfortably across my lips and deposited fairly even color, but there was a bit of product that gathered in my deeper lip lines and didn’t help smooth out the natural texture of my lips either. It wore well for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating.

Formula Overview
$37.00/0.12 oz. - $308.33 Per Ounce
The Kissing formula is supposed to be pigmented and luminous, while also being hydrating. It has a creamier, lightweight consistency that's comfortable to wear and to apply with a moderately hydrating formula to back it. I find that some of the creamier shades can sit in my lip lines a bit, but it really depends on the shade on how noticeable it is in person. The wear ranges from three to five hours (reds and the like). There's a faint, sweet vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

Rose Kiss
Rose Kiss is a medium-dark coral with warmer undertones and a semi-matte finish. The color coverage was nearly opaque in a single layer, while the texture was velvety and smooth without feeling wet. It was very lightweight, and it did not feel like it clung to my lips nor did it accentuate the texture of my lips. The color lasted well for five and a half hours felt neither drying nor hydrating.

Formula Overview
$37.00/0.12 oz. - $308.33 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "long-lasting color" that's "buildable" with "glowing pigments" that give the "illusion of wider, fuller lips." Some shades are buildable while others are fairly pigmented in one stroke. The consistency was more velvety, lightweight, and thin without being clingy or drying over time. I found that some shades were flattering on, as they didn't emphasize lip texture or get into my lip lines, while other shades gravitated into my lip lines. They wore between three and five hours and were typically non-drying. There was no discernible scent or taste.

Pillow Talk
Pillow Talk is a medium-dark pink with warm undertones and a matte finish. The color was consistent with the standalone version I have of this shade. It had good pigmentation with a soft, lightly waxy texture that applied fairly well to bare skin for all-over color application and was even easier to use strictly as a liner. It stayed on well for over six hours and was non-drying.

This looks lovely and very wearable.
For pink/coral lipstick lovers, this one is a dream.
Rose kiss is STUNNING ?
Neeeeeeed this set! I prefer the kissing formula so a bit bummed the darker colour is the Matte Revolution! Thanks for the review, Christine ♥️
Thanks for reviewing this lipstick set. The lipstick shades look deep enough to show up on my lips. The Pillow Talk liner will go to my mother-in-law; it looks ghastly on me. I have a gorgeous rose lip liner from Bobbi Brown that will pair perfectly with these lipsticks.
As a pink fanatic, I feel the need for this.
I so want this one! Rise Kiss looks spectacular.
I really love these shades.
