A good lipstick is a necessary part of every woman’s makeup repertoire. I feel naked without something on my lips, whether it be lip gloss or lipstick, before I go out. A good lipstick can truly transform a mundane look to something extraordinary.
The most popular lipstick on the market is Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk. It is said that one tube sells every two minutes. The nude color gives a suede-like appearance to lips, while giving it volume and a softer look.
The color Pillow Talk, from the Charlotte Tilbury Revolution lipstick line, is an iconic makeup product. Beauty influencers, makeup artists, and Tik-tokers love the product. The line has been so popular that it expanded.
The original Pillow Talk is a soft, mauvy nude pink. The line has recently expanded to Pillow Talk Medium and Pillow Talk Intense. Pillow Talk Medium is a matte finish just like the original shade and features a warm-berry color.
The darkest of the three shades, Pillow Talk Intense is an intense, berry-rose shade and unlike the two matte shades, features a satin-finish.
As you can imagine, the Charlotte Tilbury line is not cheap. As beautiful as these shades are, there are wonderful Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk dupes on the market. The Pillow Talk line runs around $35 for a tube of the lipstick.
Although it receives rave reviews from makeup artists and users, it can be a lot, especially for a .12 oz tube. There are a few Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk dupe that hit all the criteria of the original for a fraction of the price.

The L’Oreal Nu Impertinent is one I use to achieve that Pillow Talk Original color. So, I can tell you from experience that the color is very similar.
It stays on all day and is smudge proof. It comes in under 7$.
The Flower Beauty is also another affordable Pillow Talk Dupe. One of the best features of this lipstick is that is creamer than Pillow Talk.
It has staying power, but most users expressed they had to put it on frequently during the day. Coming in under 9$, it is worth a try.
Revlon strikes again!
The berry-rose color is similar to the Pillow Talk Medium shade. The texture is very smooth, but not as pigmented as the Charlotte Tilbury shade.
Maybelline More Buff is a perfect color match to the Medium Pillow Talk.
The More Buff is a gorgeous nude with rose-pink undertones.
One of the best features is that it is highly pigmented and is lightweight. It also is hydrating, unlike many other matte lipstick products.
The Milani has a slightly brown color when you open it. However, when you apply it to your lips, the color is identical to the Pillow Talk Intense.
It will give you the dark red look of the Intense line. The finish is stunning and it has a velvety matte feel.
The Flower Beauty shade has slightly more pink undertones when compared to the Intense Pillow Talk formula. However, the difference is negligible when put on the lips.
Flower Beauty has a creamy satin finish and moisturizing, which is rare for matte lipsticks.
