re: the title, Joe consistently calls Charlotte Tilbury "Charlotte Tilsberry," so this was my working title and I just had to keep it. But actually through the process of editing and finishing this video he's just been calling it "Tilsberry makeup" (as in, “I have a question about this shade of Tilsberry makeup. What do you call it? Pink Bubble?” ...he meant Pillow Talk) and as the days have worn on he's gotten more and more indignant and confused about the naming, categorization and website organization of Charlotte Tilbury, giving rise to some truly iconic rants which I would give anything to have gotten on camera. I told him he could be TikTok famous if he would just let me record and he declined.
One of the things I really enjoy about this channel are your thoughts about why you're choosing certain products / looks rather than simply saying 'I'm going to use this today'. The HLP decision tree is a great spot under which to sit, ponder and relax 😊
address found by strangers: crime, terrifying, creates trauma and fear address found by Charlotte tilbury: terrifying, but in a good and free luxury makeup products kind of way.
I've never tried the brown mascara by CT but I love the color "Burgundy" in the Voluminous line by L'oreal because it turns my lashes into a soft haze rather than being ultra-defining.
My daughter and I have VERY different skin tones. It’s winter here in Aus and she has translucent blue/white skin when mine is yellow/green. On her, Pillowtalk lipstick was strawberry pink and creamsicle orange on me. It didn’t flatter either of us (both blonde) so I imagine CT has designed this for herself.
I'm glad to see another one of my fair olive people wearing pillow talk on the Lips. I have the original lipstick in pillow talk myself and I was going crazy finding that this color on me was borderline "coral-ish" on me ! I know I have olive undertone and I'm pale so everything turns orange on me . Especially for the lips. I often wear a cooler toned lip liner to ground colours like this. I especially love NYX nude beige lip liner. But anyways... how wild ! How wild a colour marketed as " your lips but better pinky mauve " can look like this on us ! I would love for a video where you show some lip products that can achieve that pillow talk look "my lips but better" shade like this but working for us pale olives ! It's a constant struggle for me. I often opt out for a sheer lip most of the time because of it. A subtle undertone mismatch in a pigmented lip colour and my lips take over the whole look, but in a bad way.... tell me I'm not the only one ? 🤷♀️😅
I’m light-medium with an olive undertone. All of these brand staple “nude lips / your lips but better” look strangely like peach/coral or baby pink concealer lips on me, I hate all of them. I usually need to go for a pinker/mauvier darker shade than whatever the staple nude of a brand is.
Yes, thank you for saying Pillow Talk isn't everyone's perfect pink, because I have always felt it was just "off" on my olive skin. For anyone in the same boat, CT's Wedding Belles is a better pinky lip color for light olive skin.
Agree, on my fair olive skin it reads much more peach than pink. I do recall many of their "pinks" lean toward a very very warm peachy pink. Bitch Perfect was straight up 60's peach on me back in the day when I owned it.
You are perfectly right that Pillow Talk has a strong orange tint. It's very obvious in my lips. Also I liked when you said : "A spot? I will have to cover it with sparkle" 😊
Then you would absolutely love the new maybelline lifter liner in shade line leader! For me it’s too cool toned and almost turns purple on me which looks terrible on my light-warm skin tone. I am one of those who suit the pillow talk shade perfectly. So the maybelline might be ideal for you!
The way the eyeshadow and mascara plays off your eyes and hair is SO stunning. Like if you were a stranger I walked by on the street I would absolutely say something about how beautiful you look
I feel like you would absolutely love the 'Oyster Pearl' Eyes to Mesmerise from Charlotte Tilbury! I feel like its in that tone family that you like and it is truly stunning and easy to wear ❤💗
I think you really nailed my feelings about what I feel so unsettling about full face makeup. Humans have natural variations that we try to cover up and it makes the face look off without the slightly blue shadow under the eye or spots here or there.
I rediscovered your videos recently and have been binging them while abroad alone. You have such a poetic way of looking at the world and an eloquent way of expressing yourself. I just learned you're a poet and actor so now all the dots are adding up!
I love your base makeup technique! It's pretty much what I've been doing recently. I'm just over the look of foundation, and want my skin to look as natural as possible, just a little healthier. The glowy base subtly blurs everything and evens it out, and spot concealing just where you need to is all I feel like doing anymore 😂. The tip about deliberately leaving some imperfections so the skin looks real makes so much sense! It's difficult to believe that just a few years ago it was popular to paint on new skin every single day.
The Color Chameleon crayons in Bronzed Garnet and Amber Haze are a favorite of mine. Lovely colors w/o glitter and they don’t budge. Eyes to Mesmerize are another HG for me. I’ve been wearing the PT color since it came out and it’s such a great everyday color. I’d like to get my hands on the PT wand but it’s exclusive to her site. You look great in the video. The mascara really does wonders to your eyes.
So fun to try pillow talk with you for the first time! I've never tried it either, just heard a lot about it... not sure I get the hype still... The eyeshadow palette does seem like a newer fancier version of the urban decay naked -> great palette for everyday all occasions makeup for normal beauty consumers. Seems like a hit! Also I've been wanting to try burgundy mascara from K-beauty! 🥰 It looks gorgeous on you!
I actually really like these colours on you! I reads as a warm neutral person's version of a cool toned look with enough colour to be fun but you could still wear it in a conservative environment if you wanted to.
Love Charlotte Tilbury make up! Most stuff I tried from her were hits. Saving money at the moment to repurchase a few things because I can’t find cheaper dupes for them anywhere. I’m so excited you finally tried some of my favourite products. I absolutely love dream pop mascara and pillow talk eyeliner so much.
In my mind, Charlotte Tillsberry (it's too perfect) is simply a color story where everything has a touch of rosy beige or beigey apricot. It just seems to be 500 product variations to deliver what has become a fairly generic look. I think they outdesigned themselves, their market leadership has become general aesthetic saturation. Also is it just me, or does the branding look more like faux posh dollar tree branding than actual luxury?
I agree 100%! And I never put my CT matte revolution lipstick in my pocket, cuz I worried the finish wouldn't last and get scratched up too easily (it did). Oh! And for worry that I'd drop it once and it'd shatter, cuz it doesn't exactly look cheap but it sure feels cheaply made...
Love to see you diving back into eyeshadow for a little bit! Variety is fun. Oh, also: there are a lot of pink brown Japanese and Korean mascaras-might be something neat to check out on your next Yesstyle shopping trip!
Hi Hanna, thank you for sharing your opinion on makeup. I’ve been watching your videos for two years, and they helped me to be more aware of my consumption and intentional with how I spend my money on beauty products. I like your style, and your voice is very soothing. I think the new airbrush lip blur looks amazing and beautiful on you!! Totally different from the neutral, mauves, cool tones I see you mostly wear, it really looks gorgeous for summer.
I find that the pillow talk eyeshadow pulls REALLY warm (orange - straight up orange) on me as does the lipstick etc. Seems even the slightest bit of olive in skintone neutralizes all the pink and leaves only the orange.
That's so interesting, I have light medium olive skin and pillow talk lipstick is not very nude, but baby pink on me! the eyeshadow quad is a little peachy though.
Then you would absolutely love the new maybelline lifter liner in shade line leader! For me it’s too cool toned and almost turns purple on me which looks terrible on my light-warm skin tone. I am one of those who suit the pillow talk shade perfectly. So the maybelline might be ideal for you!
I loooove that mascara!!! My bestie gave it to me for my birthday last year. I have grey eyes. It makes them look very green and I love matching my lipstick to it. It's just amazing how different it makes me look.
So many great products, I love this look on you! I will say that you are right about the Airbrush Flawless Lip Blur - the Pillow Talk shade is much warmer and more pink based in this product than the 'classic' Pillow Talk Lip colour is. I actually liked the lip blur more as it pulled a bit more pink, the classic Pillow Talk shade almost pulls more brown-y/mauve on me, which might be perfect for you!
When I first started to get into high end makeup, CT was on the top of my list. Everybody was raving about it. I COVETED pillow talk. But after watching a ton of reviews, I was convinced it would pull orange/coral on my washed out olive skin. So I bought Exagger-Eyes, convinced this would be a more nude/brown version of pillow talk. Only that it's STILL ORANGE. It's frustrating. I would honestly love to see you play around with it and see what you can get out of the quad - you're always such an inspiration! I have 2 CT products that are in my top 5 of makeup items that I would immediately repurchase, though. One is "Oyster Pearl" - the famous cream shadow. It's perfection! The other one is the Hollywood Flawless Eye Filter quad in "Star Aura". It's a boring palette to look at, but oh my - I think the packaging says it's like "lingerie for the eyes" and I've never heard a more perfect description. Smoothing, soft, shiny, sophisticated - it's my go-to-palette whenever I'm not looking for a dramatic eye look.
I have blonde hair and blue-green eyes and really thought the big pillow talk eyeshadow palette would suit me. It pulled waaaay warm/orange on me and ended up giving it to my sister who loves it. 100% with you on the orange shift
I've tried a number of CT products at this point, and Pillow Talk is usually my least favorite shade of whatever it is. The first time I tried the pillow talk lipstick I was SO disappointed 😭I'm very fair skinned but my lips are naturally super pigmented, and I found that pillow talk looked almost exactly like my lips but just... Off. Like I put nothing on but somehow it looked worse. I was excited by the air blur lippie bc I love a lot of the K beauty ones similar to that formula, but I agree the longevity isn't too great. The cream eyeshadows are so nice though, I love those. OH AND THE MASCARA. I love that stuff. Especially Dream Pop. I have blonde hair/fair lashes and I find I can use the red mascara on no makeup days and it ends up looking super natural somehow. I never shut up about that mascara.
I’ve splurged on the cheek products tonight and the setting powder I decided I wanted to have some easy to apply makeup and in that respect I think Charlotte Tilbury has the edge on everyone. It’s so easy and quick to apply and achieve I seamless look when you have to rush out the door. Good complexion and mascara and done. Thank you for such an in-depth video ❤
Hi Hannah! So looking forward to this video!! I've only tried one or two items by Charlotte Tilbury so excited to see your thoughts on some of these! I love the mascara but found the eyeshadows very underwhelming. Very expensive quads for what they are. Love you so much!! ❤
The eye quads are really flattering on my older eyes. I always get compliments on how good I look as opposed to the make up I’m wearing, when I apply a CT quad.
I wore the 'Charlotte Tilsberry' Eyes to Mesmerize in the shade pillow talk on my wedding day last week. I love the formula and the slightly orangey pink looked really beautiful with my blue eyes!
I was so happy to hear your comments re Pillow Talk leaning orange. I can’t make it work for me either and have the same issues (also fair pale complexion). So many “pink” nudes go orange on me. Drives me nuts.
I love my old CT Pillow Talk lipstick. It doesn't pull too warm on me and the gold metal packaging makes me feel like a classy lady :) I'll never forget the day I bought the Hollywood Beauty Light Wand after seeing how beautiful it looked in some videos. I took off the cap and, expecting it to feel like a full tube of toothpaste, squeezed a little....then a little more....then a LOT more and finally product started to fill the applicator. I wound up loving the product but I felt mislead by the packaging, so after that experience I make sure to try a CT product in a store before deciding to purchase. Also this may have convinced me to finally buy the Auric Glow Lust :)
Was a great video thanks … I just had to stop the video and order the mascara I’m red headed and green eyed and always look for a good reddish brown mascara I can’t wait to get my hands on it ! 💜🌻✌🏻
YES-as a light olive, Pillow Talk is far too orange for a nude-y pink lip. And I personally hated the shimmer in the pillow talk blush. But the exaggereyes quad is my perfect go-to quad for a no thoughts just easy application eye look, and very Victoria is a gorgeous lip color for me.
The cream shadow in Oyster Pearl is one of my fav products of all time - it’s a neutral taupe bronze and texture is better than the champagne one, in my experience. I think you’d love it.
Pillowtalk is super orange… it’s way too warm for me if it was pinkier, cooler I’d be down. But she skews orange in most of her range ❤. In total agreement with you I like cooler more greigeish pinks.
Then you would absolutely love the new maybelline lifter liner in shade line leader! For me it’s too cool toned and almost turns purple on me which looks terrible on my light-warm skin tone. I am one of those who suit the pillow talk shade perfectly. So the maybelline might be ideal for you!
I recently subscribed to your channel - i had covid and spent several days in bed…i don’t wear make up at all, but your videos are so damn soothing. I took many a nap with one of them in the background - made me feel like i had company. So thanks ❤
At some point it would be nice if you were able to do a comparison of serum foundations. I very much love the way you talk about products, you're always so thoughtful and you go into depth about why products work and don't work for you in a way that's incredibly useful in helping your viewers figure out if that product may still work for them or not. This video is also great :)
Charlotte is getting her brand out there, the ad before this was from her brand too lol. I have two matte lipsticks from her thanks to Matilda on Video, but I've never branched out furthe because of the price and not knowing the quality of other color products. Can't wait to get ready to this video!
I appreciate what you said about pillow talk. Back in either 2018 or 2019 I saw the ads and the models and went oh my goodness I want to look like that. Those makeup colors are for me! I ordered the whole shebang. And I don't know if it was too bright pink or too orange, but oh my gosh I look horrible. The pillow talk quad, the pillow talk cheeks, the pillow talk lips, they all just did not work. I thought with my light skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair that I would be the perfect customer. What an incredibly expensive lesson for me. Now I stick to mostly to drug store experimentation. My biggest splurge and success story to date has been the Natasha Denona glam palette.
We’re similar skintones and idk if you’ve tried this, but the canmake mermaid uv sunscreen has a slight green tint and gives the same effect (at least on me)that you have w the colour correctors in the beginning. Plus it has uv protection and doesnt burn the eyes at all so I put it everywhere, and makes you super radiant but not greasy at all. I also use it on my chest and shoulders when wearing low cut tops and it’s stunning.
I also have super fair and desaturated skin, and I also find the Pillowtalk shade not as flattering, on the other hand, the Walk of no shame and Gracefully Pink are my favorite shades ever and I find them super flattering
That mascara is my no 1 favourite! It occasionally blasts random balls of sticky tar but even then it combs out nicely. I’m on my 5th tube of it. I’m very fond of both exaggereyes and the PT quads. Plus PT lipstick and liner. Just easy and minimal. I think I might save up for that palette you used. 3/4 of it looks like something I’d enjoy. Thanks Hannah! Your experience with the PT powder blush is my feeling- sometimes it’s great, other times it’s suddenly too strong. I’m almost as pale as you. The lip shade Pillow Talk is different in each lip product. It can pull very orange on pale people. That new version you wore isn’t one I want to buy. The lip lustre gloss is closer to the actual lipstick. The lip liner is way more neutral and slightly more cool toned.
Thanks as always for the video! Its kind of funny to me that the burgundy kinda mascaras are big now and L'Oreal has been doing it for years! They came out with several shades that complemyent eye colors back when I was in highschool.... Over a decade ago now 😢 and that's when I first fell in love because I too have green eyes. They also have a deep plum and that looks bomb with green eyes too lol. Maybe in the future when you need a new mascara you could do a comparison! Anyways, have a great day! Always love your videos
I tried your Bridget look and it looked bad on my older eyes. Maybe I could try it with brown liner. The black looked too much on me but lovely on you!
My husband calls her Charlotte Tilsbury too!! 😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hard when I read your title! I actually like her big eyeshadow palettes much more than her quads, formula wise. I have the one you used and it’s great to take traveling because it’s light, very slim, and has a lot of variety.
I looooove the Auric Glow Lust and have been wearing it under tinted sunscreen all summer. A++ CT hasn't been a brand I've been eager to try. I think I'm just not their market base. Maybe I would try a lipstick or the eyeshadow quad.
The exagger-eyes range is great. The eye cream shadow is great and the little quad, I got a surprisingly large amount of use of them. They accidentally became my everyday go to. That champagne liner would also be better as an inner water liner or for the tear duct - basically anywhere you want to brighten up.
I have a cool/neutral undertone, very fair, and pillow talk is my color. cT bronzers really work for me too. Pillow talk leans cool for me, but I have a lot of blue in my natural lip color. A color like Lorna Doon or A Royal Scandal makes me look dead. I have learned so much from Kackie about color theory, and how it all works!!!
This is weird, but might be all colour theory and texture. As you were finishing up your eyes after the mascara, I thought, «why am I thinking about Johnny Depp», and then googling his movie covers realizing that the eyes are a glam and beautiful version of his very exaggerated green/red makeup for Alice in Wonderland! I absolutely adore it! Art.
Agree 100% about pillow talk as a colour. It’s warm toned. I have a cool undertone and absolutely look ill in pillow talk. The Charlotte Tilbury brand fixation on releasing everything pillow talk makes me feel completely excluded and as if there’s nothing for me even if that’s not actually true.
I wonder if you’ve ever tried the burgundy shade of L’Oréal Voluminous mascara? I wonder if that is a good drugstore alternative to the CT pillow talk mascara?
Oooh fun 🤩 CT products make up about 70% of my core, day to day make up items. And my favourites are the eye products! I don’t know if you’ve ever tried a CT eyeliner but I love them. I’d be interested to see a comparison of the CT eyeliners compared to the VB ones you love. I too am a lighter olive and find pillow talk looks more orange than pink on me! I’m glad it’s not just me 😂 I do like the walk of shame as my “safe” red as it’s not a colour I find easy to wear. She does have a couple of really creamy blushes in compacts I love but they only came in two colours 🤦♀️
Love the title and explanation of this video!! Hey, you are so good about decluttering; I was wondering if you have any suggestions on where to donate gently used makeup--meaning pressed powder products that have been opened and used like 5 times or less. When you influencers say you're going to "donate" your decluttered makeup, what do you do with it?? Unfortunately, I have only one friend who cares about makeup, and I don't want to overwhelm her with absolutely everything that didn't work for me. If it's not perfect for her, I'd rather do something else with it. 😀I checked Goodwill and the Salvation Army, and they don't accept makeup. Help!
I gave up on CT a long time ago. As a cool toned person everything looks orange on me - she seems to ALWAYS have a very warm base and it doesn't work for me.

Oh no goodness, Joe! Absolutely hilarious.
Did anyone else see that title and do a grand, british accent for Tilsberry, lol
This is adorable

Thank you Santa Charlotte Tilsberry! 😂
So, not a crime 😂
I think I like the “just got out of bed and I didn’t manage to get all my makeup off last night” look. It has a punk vibe that suits you.
I've never tried the brown mascara by CT but I love the color "Burgundy" in the Voluminous line by L'oreal because it turns my lashes into a soft haze rather than being ultra-defining.

"There are instructions...I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna do what I want." I spit out my drink. lol.

I agree that it’s not a universal shade! I have fair neutral skin and it just looks brown - does nothing for me.
Agree, on my fair olive skin it reads much more peach than pink. I do recall many of their "pinks" lean toward a very very warm peachy pink. Bitch Perfect was straight up 60's peach on me back in the day when I owned it.
I’m a light-medium olive and pillow talk medium looks so good on me. It’s a little deep but the tone is perfect
It looked so awful on me - it almost matched my skin tone somehow so it gave me more of a ‘sore lips’ look 😂
Pillow talk always pulled so orange on me and I never understood why! I have very pale skin but I’m not sure if I’m neutral, olive, warm, or cool 🥲
You are perfectly right that Pillow Talk has a strong orange tint. It's very obvious in my lips. Also I liked when you said : "A spot? I will have to cover it with sparkle" 😊

what IS pillow talk is something i've wondered for a long time! i guess the answer is: too orange for me. thanks, daaahling! 😉
I feel like you would absolutely love the 'Oyster Pearl' Eyes to Mesmerise from Charlotte Tilbury! I feel like its in that tone family that you like and it is truly stunning and easy to wear ❤💗
Pillow Talk is just a philosophical concept rather than a color
Now I really crave a Charlotte Tilsberry x HLP collab full of unexpected twists!
I expect Joe would be so much better at naming than whoever is currently doing it at Charlotte Tilbury's 🙈

Hannah, that mascara on you!!! truly a revelation
I think you really nailed my feelings about what I feel so unsettling about full face makeup. Humans have natural variations that we try to cover up and it makes the face look off without the slightly blue shadow under the eye or spots here or there.

Your eyes do look stunning. And I always love a rant on how pink doesn’t indiscriminately “hit” on olive desaturated complexions.

Ooh! it's like that mascara was made for your eyes. Stunning!!😍
Yes I feel this way about pillow talk! The lipstick is great, but the matte lip liner was so orange to me! Same with the two blush formulas.
Yes that mascara looks amazing on you
You reviewing Charlotte Tilbury AND doing your eyes really put the cherry on top of this day for me
I actually really like these colours on you! I reads as a warm neutral person's version of a cool toned look with enough colour to be fun but you could still wear it in a conservative environment if you wanted to.

Yep
That brown mascara looks gorgeous!
I had pillow talk in the bullet lipstick & I always thought it was too bright for my desaturated pale skin
One that I loved, and thought looked on me how Pillow Talk looks on others, is Very Victoria
Little Hannah with the braids giving her unpopular opinions❤❤❤❤ we love her❤️❤️❤️
Love to see you diving back into eyeshadow for a little bit! Variety is fun. Oh, also: there are a lot of pink brown Japanese and Korean mascaras-might be something neat to check out on your next Yesstyle shopping trip!
I cannot get over how absolutely gorgeous you look! I adore your hair and nails sooo much! ♥️

I will say that you are right about the Airbrush Flawless Lip Blur - the Pillow Talk shade is much warmer and more pink based in this product than the 'classic' Pillow Talk Lip colour is. I actually liked the lip blur more as it pulled a bit more pink, the classic Pillow Talk shade almost pulls more brown-y/mauve on me, which might be perfect for you!
When I first started to get into high end makeup, CT was on the top of my list. Everybody was raving about it. I COVETED pillow talk. But after watching a ton of reviews, I was convinced it would pull orange/coral on my washed out olive skin. So I bought Exagger-Eyes, convinced this would be a more nude/brown version of pillow talk. Only that it's STILL ORANGE. It's frustrating. I would honestly love to see you play around with it and see what you can get out of the quad - you're always such an inspiration! I have 2 CT products that are in my top 5 of makeup items that I would immediately repurchase, though. One is "Oyster Pearl" - the famous cream shadow. It's perfection! The other one is the Hollywood Flawless Eye Filter quad in "Star Aura". It's a boring palette to look at, but oh my - I think the packaging says it's like "lingerie for the eyes" and I've never heard a more perfect description. Smoothing, soft, shiny, sophisticated - it's my go-to-palette whenever I'm not looking for a dramatic eye look.
I have blonde hair and blue-green eyes and really thought the big pillow talk eyeshadow palette would suit me. It pulled waaaay warm/orange on me and ended up giving it to my sister who loves it. 100% with you on the orange shift
I love her mascara for bottom lashes. No matter what mascara I wear, I use the push up lashes for the bottom.
Everything looks super flattering and cohesive on you!
This mascara is so gorgeous on you!! It really does make your eye and hair color pop in such a natural and beautiful way 😍
Your eyes look so shiny in the best way! 🤩
I've tried a number of CT products at this point, and Pillow Talk is usually my least favorite shade of whatever it is. The first time I tried the pillow talk lipstick I was SO disappointed 😭I'm very fair skinned but my lips are naturally super pigmented, and I found that pillow talk looked almost exactly like my lips but just... Off. Like I put nothing on but somehow it looked worse. I was excited by the air blur lippie bc I love a lot of the K beauty ones similar to that formula, but I agree the longevity isn't too great. The cream eyeshadows are so nice though, I love those.
OH AND THE MASCARA. I love that stuff. Especially Dream Pop. I have blonde hair/fair lashes and I find I can use the red mascara on no makeup days and it ends up looking super natural somehow. I never shut up about that mascara.
Omg yes!!! You’ve summed up pillow talk so well, and it’s why I find it never works for my complexion.
Love the eye look today!
EXAGGER-EYES is my go to everyday pallet. It's so pretty and effortless.
I’ve splurged on the cheek products tonight and the setting powder I decided I wanted to have some easy to apply makeup and in that respect I think Charlotte Tilbury has the edge on everyone. It’s so easy and quick to apply and achieve I seamless look when you have to rush out the door. Good complexion and mascara and done. Thank you for such an in-depth video ❤
her lip liners are the best in the business!
I'd recommend the Eyeko Black Magic Cocoa Edition mascara as well! It's a warm brown as opposed to a cool one.
Chanel did a limited edition aubergine mascara a few years ago, which I loved. I may check out the CT one.
Totally agree, Hannah...Walk of No Shame is, to me, a MUCH better color than Pillow Talk!
And that Rephr 02 Brush gives me life every day
I am obsessed with your nails!!! So stunning 🥰
Hi Hannah! So looking forward to this video!! I've only tried one or two items by Charlotte Tilbury so excited to see your thoughts on some of these! I love the mascara but found the eyeshadows very underwhelming. Very expensive quads for what they are. Love you so much!! ❤
The eye quads are really flattering on my older eyes. I always get compliments on how good I look as opposed to the make up I’m wearing, when I apply a CT quad.
You have such a special mind. I never comment on videos but your channel really helped me. Hugs from Brazil ❤️
I wore the 'Charlotte Tilsberry' Eyes to Mesmerize in the shade pillow talk on my wedding day last week. I love the formula and the slightly orangey pink looked really beautiful with my blue eyes!
I was so happy to hear your comments re Pillow Talk leaning orange. I can’t make it work for me either and have the same issues (also fair pale complexion). So many “pink” nudes go orange on me. Drives me nuts.
I love my old CT Pillow Talk lipstick. It doesn't pull too warm on me and the gold metal packaging makes me feel like a classy lady :)
I'll never forget the day I bought the Hollywood Beauty Light Wand after seeing how beautiful it looked in some videos. I took off the cap and, expecting it to feel like a full tube of toothpaste, squeezed a little....then a little more....then a LOT more and finally product started to fill the applicator. I wound up loving the product but I felt mislead by the packaging, so after that experience I make sure to try a CT product in a store before deciding to purchase.
Also this may have convinced me to finally buy the Auric Glow Lust :)
Was a great video thanks … I just had to stop the video and order the mascara I’m red headed and green eyed and always look for a good reddish brown mascara I can’t wait to get my hands on it ! 💜🌻✌🏻
oooh I hope you love it as much as I do!
YES-as a light olive, Pillow Talk is far too orange for a nude-y pink lip. And I personally hated the shimmer in the pillow talk blush. But the exaggereyes quad is my perfect go-to quad for a no thoughts just easy application eye look, and very Victoria is a gorgeous lip color for me.
The cream shadow in Oyster Pearl is one of my fav products of all time - it’s a neutral taupe bronze and texture is better than the champagne one, in my experience. I think you’d love it.
The Exaggereys quad pallet is baller. I prefer that one over the Pillow Talk quad. Fabulous look and vid... you always appear stunning!
Pillowtalk is super orange… it’s way too warm for me if it was pinkier, cooler I’d be down. But she skews orange in most of her range ❤. In total agreement with you I like cooler more greigeish pinks.
Then you would absolutely love the new maybelline lifter liner in shade line leader! For me it’s too cool toned and almost turns purple on me which looks terrible on my light-warm skin tone. I am one of those who suit the pillow talk shade perfectly. So the maybelline might be ideal for you!
YES!!! Pillow talk is way too orange on me as well…. I would vastly prefer something cooler toned.
I recently subscribed to your channel - i had covid and spent several days in bed…i don’t wear make up at all, but your videos are so damn soothing. I took many a nap with one of them in the background - made me feel like i had company. So thanks ❤
At some point it would be nice if you were able to do a comparison of serum foundations. I very much love the way you talk about products, you're always so thoughtful and you go into depth about why products work and don't work for you in a way that's incredibly useful in helping your viewers figure out if that product may still work for them or not. This video is also great :)
Charlotte is getting her brand out there, the ad before this was from her brand too lol. I have two matte lipsticks from her thanks to Matilda on Video, but I've never branched out furthe because of the price and not knowing the quality of other color products. Can't wait to get ready to this video!
I appreciate what you said about pillow talk. Back in either 2018 or 2019 I saw the ads and the models and went oh my goodness I want to look like that. Those makeup colors are for me! I ordered the whole shebang. And I don't know if it was too bright pink or too orange, but oh my gosh I look horrible. The pillow talk quad, the pillow talk cheeks, the pillow talk lips, they all just did not work. I thought with my light skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair that I would be the perfect customer. What an incredibly expensive lesson for me. Now I stick to mostly to drug store experimentation. My biggest splurge and success story to date has been the Natasha Denona glam palette.
We’re similar skintones and idk if you’ve tried this, but the canmake mermaid uv sunscreen has a slight green tint and gives the same effect (at least on me)that you have w the colour correctors in the beginning. Plus it has uv protection and doesnt burn the eyes at all so I put it everywhere, and makes you super radiant but not greasy at all. I also use it on my chest and shoulders when wearing low cut tops and it’s stunning.
Hannah she does have great olive leaning shades for foundation! 😊🎉
I also have super fair and desaturated skin, and I also find the Pillowtalk shade not as flattering, on the other hand, the Walk of no shame and Gracefully Pink are my favorite shades ever and I find them super flattering
That mascara is my no 1 favourite! It occasionally blasts random balls of sticky tar but even then it combs out nicely. I’m on my 5th tube of it.
I’m very fond of both exaggereyes and the PT quads. Plus PT lipstick and liner. Just easy and minimal.
I think I might save up for that palette you used. 3/4 of it looks like something I’d enjoy. Thanks Hannah!
Your experience with the PT powder blush is my feeling- sometimes it’s great, other times it’s suddenly too strong. I’m almost as pale as you.
The lip shade Pillow Talk is different in each lip product. It can pull very orange on pale people. That new version you wore isn’t one I want to buy.
The lip lustre gloss is closer to the actual lipstick. The lip liner is way more neutral and slightly more cool toned.
I have crazy oily eyelids, I use tubing mascara so it doesn’t smudge, how do you think this mascara would hold up?
Thanks as always for the video!
Its kind of funny to me that the burgundy kinda mascaras are big now and L'Oreal has been doing it for years! They came out with several shades that complemyent eye colors back when I was in highschool.... Over a decade ago now 😢 and that's when I first fell in love because I too have green eyes. They also have a deep plum and that looks bomb with green eyes too lol. Maybe in the future when you need a new mascara you could do a comparison! Anyways, have a great day! Always love your videos
I tried your Bridget look and it looked bad on my older eyes. Maybe I could try it with brown liner. The black looked too much on me but lovely on you!
That mascara was made for you!! 😍😍
I'm excited! I can't afford her stuff, I can enjoy you using it though.☺
I really love that look on you! I thought CT was overhyped, but some of her stuff is seriously good.
My husband calls her Charlotte Tilsbury too!! 😂😂😂😂 I laughed so hard when I read your title!
I actually like her big eyeshadow palettes much more than her quads, formula wise. I have the one you used and it’s great to take traveling because it’s light, very slim, and has a lot of variety.
I looooove the Auric Glow Lust and have been wearing it under tinted sunscreen all summer. A++ CT hasn't been a brand I've been eager to try. I think I'm just not their market base. Maybe I would try a lipstick or the eyeshadow quad.
The exagger-eyes range is great. The eye cream shadow is great and the little quad, I got a surprisingly large amount of use of them.
They accidentally became my everyday go to. That champagne liner would also be better as an inner water liner or for the tear duct - basically anywhere you want to brighten up.
I have a cool/neutral undertone, very fair, and pillow talk is my color. cT bronzers really work for me too. Pillow talk leans cool for me, but I have a lot of blue in my natural lip color. A color like Lorna Doon or A Royal Scandal makes me look dead. I have learned so much from Kackie about color theory, and how it all works!!!
This is weird, but might be all colour theory and texture. As you were finishing up your eyes after the mascara, I thought, «why am I thinking about Johnny Depp», and then googling his movie covers realizing that the eyes are a glam and beautiful version of his very exaggerated green/red makeup for Alice in Wonderland! I absolutely adore it! Art.
CT Dream Pop mascara is water resistant and a similar almost burgundy brown. Amazing on hazel green eyes!
Also reddy mascara always fun. Thank you🎉🎉🎉🎉
Agree 100% about pillow talk as a colour. It’s warm toned. I have a cool undertone and absolutely look ill in pillow talk. The Charlotte Tilbury brand fixation on releasing everything pillow talk makes me feel completely excluded and as if there’s nothing for me even if that’s not actually true.
ah hannah, our philosopher queen 😁😁
I wonder if you’ve ever tried the burgundy shade of L’Oréal Voluminous mascara? I wonder if that is a good drugstore alternative to the CT pillow talk mascara?
Oooh fun 🤩 CT products make up about 70% of my core, day to day make up items. And my favourites are the eye products!
I don’t know if you’ve ever tried a CT eyeliner but I love them. I’d be interested to see a comparison of the CT eyeliners compared to the VB ones you love.
I too am a lighter olive and find pillow talk looks more orange than pink on me! I’m glad it’s not just me 😂 I do like the walk of shame as my “safe” red as it’s not a colour I find easy to wear.
She does have a couple of really creamy blushes in compacts I love but they only came in two colours 🤦♀️
Love the title and explanation of this video!! Hey, you are so good about decluttering; I was wondering if you have any suggestions on where to donate gently used makeup--meaning pressed powder products that have been opened and used like 5 times or less. When you influencers say you're going to "donate" your decluttered makeup, what do you do with it?? Unfortunately, I have only one friend who cares about makeup, and I don't want to overwhelm her with absolutely everything that didn't work for me. If it's not perfect for her, I'd rather do something else with it. 😀I checked Goodwill and the Salvation Army, and they don't accept makeup. Help!
Thank mascara looks amazing on you!
I gave up on CT a long time ago. As a cool toned person everything looks orange on me - she seems to ALWAYS have a very warm base and it doesn't work for me.
Omg i need that mascara
