Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Lips Matte Liquid Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a new formula that debuts next week. It’s supposed to have a “soft-focus matte” finish that “glide[s] like a gloss” on the lips that gives “full coverage” with a “light as air” formula. Here are swatches:

They look nice but the formula looks very similar to Hard Candy’s and Ciate London Velvet formulas.
Best actress looks like the shade of my dreams!
It’s super nice looking:). And Dangerous Liason looks like a wonderful spice color for fall.. but will wait for the review…and what my wallet says…lol
Reserving any lemmings for these until after getting to read your reviews on them. Don’t know why, but these don’t have the smooth velvety look of the very recently debuted ABH Matte Lipstick line.
These look lovely, but I’m surprised at how similar many of the lighter colors are to each other. With that said, Dangerous Liaison is calling my name… Thanks for the swatches Christine!
Show girl is my pick! What a pretty shade!
But none of the colours really call out to me here!
Hmmm. These might be a pass for me. None of the colors are pulling at my heartstrings. Looks very moussey!
Moussey: good descriptor!
My wallet is very happy that none of these shades are calling out to me. 😉
The lighter colors, like all the lighter lipsticks I have, all have this caramel/light tan/slight orange’y hue to them. I liked pillow talk the best, but for the price, have found others that are faves for a lot less, and her lip glosses were very small.
Some are pretty, but nothing seems like “omg, I have to have it.” Not that unique.
Awesome to see these swatches! Thank you!
Oh lord, I’m all over those pinks.
Will wait to check out dupes, I’m certain I already have 2-3 for each. 😉
I’m Bad is really nice:)
as is platinum blonde, pin up…
Too many warm nudes, as usual, from CT. They’re great if you can wear them, but I can’t. She’s getting too predictable.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen CT wear anything but a warm nude lip. Her entire line leans very warm, imho. If that’s what you meant in your comment by being predictable, I agree!
Dolly Bird looks cool to me, and I may be interested in that shade, but yes, that would be the only one.
Charlotte Darling is my favorite from the swatches.Platinum Blonde and Best Actress are nice colors but I want to see how they score before I commit to purchasing any of them.
Show Girl is nice!
So many nudes – very similar to each other too. Screen Siren is very pretty.
I don’t wear matte lipstick but I could always put a shiny topper on right?! I do like some of these!
Not terribly wowed by these and a lot of them look far too similar.
Just when I think I have enough lipstick..I have to see these. Definitely liking a couple colors here!
screen siren looks nice , but the rest of the shades are meh to me .
IDK, the lighter colors have a thick, clumpy finish, the medium and darker colors look better, but I think you you can get these colors from other brands, with better formula and much cheaper too
That’s exactly what I was thinking, Katherine. That they appear thick and heavy looking on the lips.
I love Show Girl!
A very CT collection colour wise. I like Indya’s comment because while they colours look non-streaky and solid, they definitely have a moussey looking texture. I’m not sure I’m game as liquid mattes are always tempting but rarely satisfying for me personally. I picked up a NARS and I never wear it. On the plus side: These do not look drying.
Show Girl and Screen Siren are my top picks.
I love the colors but have been burned by supposed “great formulas” too many times to count. I would be much more excited for these if they were regular lipsticks in regular bullets. (I absolutely do not mind reapplying lip color throughout the day, it gives me the opportunity to check on everything else at the same time, lol!)
The darkest three fare far better than the lighter shades. Hella sink in the lip lines, and Ms C doesn’t really have them. More CT light to medium-light warm nudes. Quelle surprise! Actually, it’s no wonder I never get excited by CT. All but the last two would look big wrong. Nothing wrong with a write off. Still, would like to see the line in person…even on the rare occasions s.t. suits me, can’t pull the trigger, even at Beautylish.
So excited for your dupe list for these pinks!
I’m not fond of the dry matte look, so likely passing on these. I read one person described the formula as moussey and they looked fine on her. CT’s lipsticks are hit and miss for me, so I wait until I can try on at the counter.
Pin Up Pink would be nice on me. I’m interested in its performance though, so I’m awaiting for your review 🙂
While they are nice colors, and the formula looks nice on the lips I don’t think they’re anything special – colors wise. Although this is what Charlotte Tilbury puts out regularly, so I might look into these if the formula is great.
Dangerous Liaison catches my eye, can’t wait to see the review for it!
shades are gorgeous, but honestly it’s not like these colours haven’t been done before… by multiple independent and corporate owned brands *cough*… as usual, thank you for the swatches 😀
easy pass for me…sorry CT!
So many pinks and yet none that call to me but not a fam of mattes. Isn’t this trend done yet?
I feel like this is a bit late to the matte liquid lipstick game?
I feel like the 3 nudes and the 3 medium pinks all look basically the same… Hmmmm I’m disappointed.
Too Bad and Show Girl appeal to me if the formula is good.
Looks lovely but super dupable:) Gonna skip for this one.
I’m 95% over liquid mattes, she’s pretty late to the party here. That said, I’m OPEN to trying Show Girl if there isn’t a classic lipstick formulated dupe that catches my eye. 😛
I want all these for the names alone!
I love the finish of these!
I bought Show Girl, Dangerous Liaison and Screen Siren last night. When I swatched them on my hand, the first two looked different enough to justify getting both. DL looked like it had a bit more pink, and SS had a bit more red. On the lips though, they look nearly identical so I’m not thrilled and one might go back. Screen Siren is gorgeous, though and a bit darker on than swatched. I found these to be really thick out of the tube, which requires you to really go inside the lip first to thin out what’s on the doe foot before tackling the edges of your lips. Unlike some comments I’ve read elsewhere, I didn’t find these dried out my lips or settled into my lines (thankfully!). But the colours overall were a disappointment and look very little like her stock photos. As Christine showed, the paler shades in particular are VERY similar and also very warm. Disappointingly, I’ve found this discrepancy in photo colour/real life to be the case with Tilbury lip products before. I’ll fall in love with something on her site and when I see it in person, it’s like a completely different colour.
