[productsample/affiliates] The very first time I went to the USA I was completely riveted by the female newsreaders and their lipsticks. I just couldn’t figure out what colours they were wearing that gave that kind of gorgeously hyper-natural, pinky-beige looking lip because, believe it or not, the UK was well behind on the whole tone on tone nude lip concept. It was a long time ago, granted, but Charlotte Tilbury has nailed that wonder with her new ‘Supers’ – Super Sexy (above), Super Model and Super Nineties. The only difference is finish – Charlotte’s are matte whereas I definitely remember the originals as sheeny.
I like the squared off tips of Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks – they give a really sharp delivery (and very neat swatches!).
In the swatch above from bottom to top, it’s Super Model, Super Sexy and Super Nineties. My best shade is Super Model in a slightly coffee’d neutral and given that I’m not a matte fan at all, I don’t mind the silky feeling texture – there is definitely a decent level of lip comfort and moisture. If you want to revisit the nineties (not sure I do), you can add a darker tone lip liner. I’ve been using lip liner recently – a shade really close to my natural colour, giving it a bit of a smudge up and then just adding lip balm over the top. It’s a nice way to get definition without looking made up. If you like the new shades, you can buy (on-line exclusive) the matching liners and lipsticks as a set for £38 HERE, Non Affiliate HERE, otherwise, the lippies are £24 each (same link).

They are so pretty!!!
I love that newsreader ‘superlip’ admiration. I used to wear an Estee Lauder lip colour called something like Rich Cocoa giving me what I regarded at the time as a natural but better lip. Looking back now it was dangerously close to that washed out ‘concealer beige’ garrghh!! I am rediscovering lipliner too, the more natural the better, plus there are more shades than ever. Happy days!
I would love you to have described the colours.
Those are very neat swatches 😉 I wish I could wear shades like these but I’m so pale that I look like one of the walking dead!

I’m a recent convert to Charlotte’s lipsticks, am loving Very Victoria… Perfect nude for me.
Charlotte tilbury is at the top of my wish list! I’ve spent so many years procrastinating but this is the year I need to try their products!
