Charlotte Tilbury Lipsticks for Indian Skin | Swatches & Review

Luxury British makeup brand Charlotte Tilbury has recently launched in India through Nykaa (Nykaa.com). Even though they firmly have inclusivity as their mantra, not every lip colour though is suitable for Indian skin.
I am a huge Charlotte Tilbury fan and almost all makeup I own is by her. That includes lots of her lipsticks and in this video I will be showing how these actually look when worn by the average desi girl. I will also be talking about my honest opinion and tell you my hits and misses! These are expensive items even by UK standards and before you spend hard-earned money make sure you go for the right product.
Lipsticks showcased-
1. Pillow Talk Original
2. Pillow Talk Medium
3. M.I. Kiss (previously Bond Girl)
4. Walk of No Shame (previously Walk of Shame)

Hi
We are Pritha (Bibi), a doctor & a dancer and Vikram (Babu), a corporate guy. We are from Incredible India, having spent most of our lives in the beautiful city of Kolkata, and have now made London our home.
We first met when we were seven years old (I) and have been inseparable since. Perhaps it is the desire for looking good and good living that have kept us bonded over the years. Whilst both of us share a deep love for fashion, Pritha is also an incurable makeup addict and Vikram is crazy about fitness. Pritha’s passion for aesthetics extend beyond fashion though, as she keeps on decorating and redecorating every physical space she can get her hands on! She is also the more organised half of us.
Pritha also suffers from wanderlust, which is convenient as Vikram works in the travel industry and enjoys driving.
In this channel we share our experiences and talk about things we hope you will find useful. We cover a range of topics here so whether you are someone who needs a helpful tutorial on wearing the Indian dhoti (men’s lower garment), or you are looking for Eurostar deals, this channel is for you.
Thank you for visiting and we hope we can convince you to subscribe 😊
You can also find us on Instagram- Pritha @tiptopped and Vikram @viksmylife

[@BabuBibi]

Hi. Thank you 😊 You're right, there are only a few of us. Glad to find you here ❤

[@gandhariruntu1559]

I love Charlotte tilbury matte lip stains as I don’t use much use of traditional lipstick.. my favorite one is dangerous liaison .. I just love it 😍

[@BabuBibi]

Yes, her mattes are too good 🙂

[@shobhanakapoor6623]

I truly enjoyed your swatches and the beautiful way in which you explained everything. Thank you so much! Before I buy my first CT lipstick I will refer to your video again. 🙏😘

[@BabuBibi]

Thank you Shobhana. I struggled to find people of my own colour try them out hence made this video. CT has introduced a few new shades now and among the nudes super fabulous suits my shade 😊

[@ItWasAcceptableInThe80s]

Thank you for this video. Half indian myself and struggle to find you tubers with my skin tone ❤

[@BabuBibi]

Glad to be of help 🙂 I know the struggle!

[@riaa30gg]

Excellent video Pritha di... Absolutely loved it ❤

[@BabuBibi]

Thank you 😊

[@rupakataki2093]

I am so glad that I discovered your channel. Doctor, dancer and a make-up addict! Love every bit of it. Like the way you speak and explain the shades. Could you please make the lip swatches a little closer, so that the shades come out better? Please don't mind.

[@BabuBibi]

Of course I don't mind! I love feedback. I'll do another swatch video with better lights hopefully 🙂

[@nina1528]

Thanks for this. I recently bought pillow talk medium which is my first CT lipstick. I’m glad I didn’t go for the original pillow talk. I do like the look of Bond girl and walk of shame on you. So Marilyn reminds me of my fave Mac lipstick called Mac Red.

[@BabuBibi]

Walk of shame is my favourite! Never thought I'd wear dark colours before this 🙂

[@anshibazak5845]

I didn't know they renames the shades! I wear Birkin brown and bond girl daily and just thought they were discontinued or not available in india!. These are the only lipsticks I will actually finish before expiry so I'll definitely repurchase them

[@BabuBibi]

Both names have changed. Birkin brown is so 90s and bond girl is mi6 ❤️🙂

I love pillow talk original on you!

[@BabuBibi]

You do? I find it a tad bit too light. The medium one suits me better 🙂

[@__nina]

@@BabuBibi Totally understand where you're coming from! It's definitely personal preference - I'm a huge fan of pale lips ahah, it looks more fun to me. I think all the shades look gorgeous on you! x

[@anjbish]

Exactly I hate when people talk about packaging and now Charlotte tillbury launched in nykaa..glad I can pick some

[@drpritha]

Totally. What's the point of discussing packaging when it has nothing to do with the content! I fail to recognise why it even matters!!

[@barnalijana5140]

Can you suggest whether mrs kisses and wedding belles will wash me out as NC43.5??

[@BabuBibi]

It probably won't wash you out, but it won't show much pigment either. If you want a flush of colour, then they'll be good

[@mianckakj]

Such a helpful video! Could you please swatch CT's Gracefully Pink? Seems like a lovely warm pink that may suit Indian skin tones similar to yours 😊

[@BabuBibi]

I don't have it yet but I'll surely check it out and let you know 🙂

[@syedajafri6598]

can you do this eye look tutorial ?

[@BabuBibi]

Yes, I can. Thank you for the suggestion. I'll do it soon

[@Aaradhya_2417]

Good going Pritha Di. Keep it up.

[@BabuBibi]

Thank you 😊

[@deepthi6996]

Are these transfer proof? And how long do they stay on?

[@BabuBibi]

They are not classed as transfer proof from what I know. But they stay for a really long time. And they don't transfer to clothes or drinking glasses.

[@jaspreetkaur-fj1ex]

Can’t really see the colours properly. Light is too high.

[@BabuBibi]

Sorry about that. The pictures at the end were taken in natural light and give a better indication of how the colours look on my lips

[@ishaabrol6308]

i think u should get stoned rose. you will love it.

Just saw your comment after one year! I've been thinking of stoned Rose. It seems similar to Glowing Jen so I've given it a miss. Maybe next time 🙂
