These 13 Lipsticks Are the Perfect Dupe for Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk

This creamy matte lipstick formula features Australian macadamia oil, vitamin E, shea butter, and meadowfoam seed oil for comfortable wear with longevity.

Nude by Nature, Creamy Matte Lipstick in “Blush Nude” ($12) also happens to be an amazing dupe for Charlotte Tilbury, “Pillow Talk” with a perfect balance of rosy and peach tones. Bonus? The matching Defining Lip Pencil in “Blush Nude” ($16)  is the perfect dupe for Charlotte Tilbury, Lip Cheat in “Pillow Talk”, so you can consider liner and lippy sorted.

A so-close-it’s-uncanny “Pillow Talk” dupe, Maybelline, Superstay Ink Crayon Lipstick in “Lead the Way” ($13) is only slightly rosier than our CT favourite, and stands on its own as a fabulous lip product.

The matte lipstick features a fine, pointed tip for precise application (there’s a built-in sharpener) and long wear with “Lasting Ink” technology, which basically means you’ll need an oil cleanser to get it off.

Makeup Revolution have been famous in the UK since it launched in 2015, famous for its affordable dupes.

They’ve nailed the CT colour with their Powder Matte Lipstick in “Teddy,” ($10). Described as “crushed velvet” in texture, expect a soft, wearable matte colour that feels plush, and never drying. Creamy when first applied from the bullet, these formulas dry down to a longwear finish. Perfection.

NYX Professional Makeup Lip Lingerie in “Undressed” ($21) is a neutral, liquid lipstick with the perfect mauve-brown undertones you should look for in any CT “Pillow Talk” dupe. Plus, with 16-hours wear, you can forget about touch ups.

Infused with shea butter, Covergirl’s Colourlicious Lipstick in “Honeyed Bloom” ($18) is a slightly creamier formula than the original by Charlotte Tilbury but, if you’re prone to dryness, this would be a winner.

The colour itself is super pigmented and an extremely close match to “Pillow Talk”, and all for less than $15.

If you love “Pillow Talk” but want something a little more sheer and hydrating, opt for Mecca Max, Pout Pop Sheer Lipstick in “Sunday Sesh” ($20).

This formula has a flattering gloss that’s never sticky and fills in cracks and crevices with micro-crystalline waxes for a smooth, plump finish. An easy-going lip formula perfect for polishing off an Aperol Spritz or two with the girls.

Another balmy summer day option, L’Oréal Glow Paradise Balm in Lipstick in “Nude Heaven” ($21) has all of “Pillow Talk’s” mauve-y pink charms, with a whole lot of hydration.

Packed with pomegranate seed extract and protective natural waxes, this will hydrate, repair, and add plenty of gloss to your lips. A quick and easy pop of colour this formula increases lip hydration by 47 percent in just four hours, making this a perfect dupe for the lazy and dry-lipped among us.

Drew Barrymore’s beauty brand Flower brings you high-quality makeup products at an affordable price. Flower Beauty’s Petal Pout Lip Colour in “Spiced Petal” ($9.99) is a richly pigmented lipstick that applies smoothly but is comfortable enough to wear all day long.

With a creamy formula similar to the original “Pillow Talk” lipstick, M·A·C Cosmetics Satin Lipstick in “Faux” ($34) offers medium-to-full coverage and is the perfect muted pink.

Much like “Pillow Talk”, this product leaves your lips feeling soft and cushiony, so you don’t have to deal with dryness.

While the combination of creamy and matte in one single product might seem impossible, Maybelline managed to pull it off with this lip product.

Maybelline’s Colour Sensational Matte Nude in “Almond Rose” ($19.95) is a pigmented colour that delivers a warm pinky tone, and the addition of precious oils in the formula makes it comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Anastasia’s Matte Lipstick in “Kiss” ($33) is one of the priciest product on this list of dupes, but still offers a saving of $16 from the original product.

This formula is matte and leaves a velvet-look on the lips, which helps to keep the product in place and is made without fragrance, parabens and sulphates.

Colorstay Suede Ink Lip Hot Girl ($25) is perfect for long-lasting wear. Seriously, this is a product with grip, but it glides on like a dream thanks to the addition of vitamin E.

With a sleek, elegant snap cap this is an uber-pigmented dupe for Charlotte Tilbury, Pillow Talk.

Miss Selena Gomez really knew what she was doing with this one.

Kind Words Matte Lipstick in “Humble” ($34) is a soft nude that will compliment many skin tones. With a satin-matte formula, this lippy is a little more hydrating than CT Pillow Talk — perfect for the dry-lipped amongst us.

This lipstick wears evenly throughout the day and is creamy enough to dab on your cheeks as a blush.

Consider pairing it with the matching Kind Words Matte Lip Liner ($26) for longevity and definition.
