Charlotte Tilbury x Norman Parkinson Colour of Youth Healthy, Happy Lip & Cheek Glow Review, Photos, Swatches

I was fortunate to be in London three weeks ago, and was able to stop by the Charlotte Tilbury counter at Selfridges to see all of the products in person. I had hoped that the Lip and Cheek Glow was going to be a bit more similar to the Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge’s formulation, but was disappointed at how sheer it was. It would have never lasted more than an hour or two on my oilier skin, plus, as pretty as the compact looks, it definitely lacks the weight of a higher end compact.

Pretty packaging but wowza that price! It’d have to be more pigmented for me to even be a little tempted.

Do you think you could easily remove the product from the compact without ruining the compact?

Christine,

Thank goodness for your reviews. You help me buy products I actually like and pass on the ones that I know I won’t like without going through the hassle of returning stuff. I had already passed on this collection, but I’m glad your reviews are pushing me even further away from it. That sounds bad. I will say, however, that I love Charlotte Tilbury and admire her work, but I’m not feeling this collection other than the packaging.

I bought this and really regret it. 🙁 I’ve worn it once and it lasted about a nanosecond (and it’s winter here so I’m less oily than usual). The colour is pretty though. Overall, this is probably the most disappointing CT product I’ve tried.

Where is the search button? Can’t find it :/

It’s one of those products i bought on a whim because i wanted to try CT products and wasn’t quite convinced on her regular line. Thought I’d come online to check how others like it and use it

I’m really surprised to read all these review because it’s my favourite blush of the moment. I wear it everyday and though I’ve never tested the staying power deliberately but i know for fact that it lasts up to 10 hours on me. I work 9 hour shifts on weekends and it takes me 30 minutes to commute to work and back and it stays on completely until the end of the day when i wash my face.

So to give you all an idea of how i use it. I never use tinted moisturiser or foundations so it goes on top of my moisturiser and i don’t own any primers either. I prefer my natural skin over foundation, that’s why. So I swirl my finger over blush a few times and then dab the colour over the apples of my cheek, slowly blending out the edges to make it look more seemless.

I like the dewy look it gives so i don’t top it with anything either. That’s it and somehow it stays on all day. I don’t touch up on it either.

I have normal skin with minimal oil production in the T zone. And it’s winter in my part of the world at the moment just to give you an idea of the climate as well.
