I wasn’t the biggest fan of lip liners… You know me! I’m kind of lazy and always in a hurry so, even though I give certain advice makeup and beauty-related tricks and tips, I rarely follow everything to the letter myself!…

But everything changed the moment the infamous Charlotte Tilbury Re-Shape & Re-Size Lip Liner, in Pillow Talk made its way into my otherwise quiet and tranquil life ( not! )… and absolutely roked it completely! Then everything went down the hill from there – as you can see from the picture, without any trace of a doubt!

So, I have let’s start with…

Pink Venus – gorgeous name, by the way! – a beautiful peachy coral shade, an excellent shade to wear under your peachy, bright summer lip colours! The peach undertone in it doesn’t transfer too obvious because I have quite pigmented lips, but sure looks sensual, youthful and fresh, especially with a gloss on top, as you can see in this post here.

Pillow Talk –  the most “talked” about from the entire Lip-Cheat line, has its own cult that follows it in our beauty world. No need to say a lot about it, except that it is probably the best selled Charlotte Tilbury makeup item, an excellent pink-ish nude colour, that works wonders on every skin type! Therefore you can hardly wonder why it’s so popular! Go see how it looks on me, here.

Iconic Nude is the newest member of the annie’s beauty… lip liner family!It’s definitely a true brown nude, without any traces of pink undertones in it, a warm colour so easy to wear under different lipsticks.

Hollywood Honey somehow warns you about my forever latent ( at the moment! ) obsession with dark lipsticks. This would look amazing in autumn, paired with a similar rusty coloured lipstick, or even with certain dark browns like I wore it here with my NARS Audacious Lipstick in Deborah, or the Estée Lauder Matte in Desirous.

Berry Naughty is the most gorgeous dark berry-toned lip liner I wore! It matches to perfection with the Charlotte Tilbury MATTE Revolution in Glastonberry, which you can see here, but also with the NARS Audacious Ingrid.

The LIP CHEAT RE-SHAPE & RE-SIZE LIP LINERS come in the most the velvety-soft formula, that glides onto the lips without any pressure needed, feel extremely hydrating on the lips… But I have to warn you that as deeper the colour goes, the hydration decreases noticeably! Nothing a good lip moisturizer cannot fix!, making them look more voluptuous, sensual and naturally gorgeus! The colour is really pigmented, matte and opaque, very long lasting on the lips and when it fades, it does it in the most uniform way, thankfully!

Don’t ask me which one is my favourite, as I would definitely say that I adore them all for different reasons and I wear them equally, in different occasions! My most worn have to be the nudes though! Pillow Talk and Pink Venus… But Iconic Nude comes faster from the back!

So, what are your favourite lip liners? Please share them in the Comments below!

Thanks a lot for reading, and as always…

See you soon, Beautiful!

Current favourite lip liners: CHARLOTTE TILBURY Pillowtalk and Pink Venus, BURBERRY #02 Dusty Rose and DIOR Universal Lip Liner

For such a long time I’ve considered using a lip liner before applying the lipstick an extra, useless and rather annoying step in my makeup routine. For sheer laziness, to be honest!

That’s why having your makeup done by a professional it’s the best thing to do! You discover that the minimal step you always underrate makes a whole lot of a difference in how your makeup looks and how long it lasts on your face.

Now that I’ve found some amazing lip liners that are truly staples in my makeup routine I want to share them with you.

For me a good lip liner has to be the perfect balance between a creamy consistency and a “hard” one, to glide on the contour of your lips, to have enough pigmentation to be worn under a lipstick without altering its colour but also to be worn easily by itself and to be long lasting for the lipstick to also last longer on the lips.

I was lucky enough to find quite a few lip liners that respond to all the criteria and those are: Charlotte Tilbury’s Lip Cheat Re-Shape & Re-Size Lip Liner Pillowtalk and Pink Venus, the Burberry Lip Definer #02 Dusty Rose and the one that goes with everything, at any time – the Dior Universal Lip Liner.

I will start with my most recent discoveries the Charlotte Tilbury’s Lip Cheat Re-Shape & Re-Size Lip Liner Pillowtalk and Pink Venus, because these are fairly recent launches in the beauty world and they still have a lot of hype around them. And for such good reasons!

They are Charlotte Tilbury‘s most appreciated “cheating” backstage weapons. Velvety and rich, they glide on well without tugging your lips and you can create an amazing long wearing base for other lip products. There are five colours in the range Pillow Talk ( pink nude ), Pink Venus ( peachy nude ), Iconic Nude ( true nude ), Savage Rose ( rosy red ) and Kiss ‘n’ Tell ( true red ).

I only own these two, for now…

Pillowtalk – a beautiful neutral pink colour that would work for so many lips. Great for retouching uneven lips ( hence the name Re-Shape & Re-Size ), amazing to create a true nude lip look. It’s not the most unique of colours but the long lasting formula and the pigmentation are amazing! There is a drugstore dupe for it, the Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in East End Snob, which is pretty close but obviously not the same!

And…

Pink Venus – a nude pinky peach and less pink than the name suggests. This will definitely be “the one” I’ll be using on my lips in the warmer months when I will wear more coraly, bright lipsticks.

Like all the lip liners I’ve tried these aren’t too moisturizing so keep in mind to prepare you lips before the application, as I advised you to do in my previous post Red Lips, Dark Lips – DO’s and DONT’S…

– wearing Pillow Talk under the Charlotte Tilbury’s K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Stoned Rose ( see post here )

The Burberry Lip Definer in #02 Dusty Rose is pretty similar to Pillow Talk, only that it’s a bit rosier and the formula is a bit dryer, I find. This was the lip liner that changed my whole lipstick game, when a makeup artist used it to do my makeup on a Burberry counter in Milan, a few years ago. I went through a couple of these already and I have a few more shades, but I picked this one because this is still a favourite after all this time!

I already used it in a post, in a summery lip combination with the Burberry Lip Glow in #19 Mallow Pink ( see full post here ).

In the picture below you can see swatches of all my favourite lip liners including…

… the Dior Universal Lip Liner. I saved “the best for last” as they say!

This is a creamy, soft, colourless lip liner which truly goes with everything you want to wear on your lips. It’s my favourite to use with red and dark lipsticks, because applying a richly coloured lip liner can be as tricky as applying the lipstick itself! To avoid all that struggle you take this one, you go swish! swish! and your contour is done flawlessly! This lip liner is the one I used in my every single red, bright or dark lipstick swatch I did this far on annie’s beauty….

– wearing the Dior Universal Lip Liner under the Tom Ford Crimson Noir ( see post here )

 – wearing the Dior Universal Lip Liner under the Dior Addict Fluid Stick in Pandore ( see post here and here )

You’ll see no traces of bleeding or a wrong application… And I already told you I’m not a pro! It “behaves” so well with all the different formulas of lipstick I’ve tried it with! This is my most used lip liner and I go through these as if they were Maltesers Mini Chocolate Bunnies. I hope you can see it in the swatches too even though there’s no much to see!

Are you using lip liners? Please share your favourites!

See you soon, Beautiful!

Birthday Presents… CHARLOTTE TILBURY

Charlotte Tilbury, Charlotte Tilbury KISSING lipstick Stoned Rose Confession, Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Pillow Talk, Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution lipstick, Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lost Cherry Amazing Grace Walk of Shame, haul, makeup, The Uptown Girl, The Vintage Vamp

Lately, I kept bombarding your Instagram feeds with a lot of Charlotte Tilbury makeup! And there’s a reason for all that! Besides the fact that Charlotte Tilbury‘s makeup is beyond amazing, what I kept from you as my little secret is that as a part of my birthday presents I had the chance to get some more of these goodies!

It’s my first time ordering directly from her official website and I have to admit that the whole experience was delightful. Order received and processed on the same day, shipped the following day, arrived “in the middle of nowhere” in 5 days as stated, with tracking order service and all…

Plus my order came in this beautiful packaging, so carefully wrapped up that I felt it was a shame to ruin it… So I had to Instagram it first obviously, then dig in for the goodies!

The first two items I remember ordering were these two gorgeous eyeshadow palettes. I already owned two The Sophisticate – my first ever Charlotte Tilbury purchase and The Dolce Vita, which was basically the only thing I wore on my lids throughout the holidays. So I got The Vintage Vamp which was on my mind since I got The Dolce Vita ( I intent to do a comparison post featuring the two, already here ), and The Uptown Girl – another one on my wishlist for the longest time.

The quality of Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadows is beyond amazing: buttery smooth and soft, they blend effortlessly on the lids with minor fall-outs, especially from those serious glitters out there.

Then, I’ve never tried the K.I.S.S.I.N.G Fallen From The Lip Stick Tree Lipsticks therefore I had to get me some. Obviously I had to have the nudes first. I am truly impressed with the formula of these, and above all I’ve never used to like “the Kylie Jenner lip” on me… Clearly I hadn’t found THE COLOUR to give me that!… Until now! Here you have pictured the limited edition Confession and the permanent Stoned Rose.

And of course, I had to have a few more shades of the MATTE Revolution Lipstick range. I already own and reviewed Sexy Sienna and it is, by far, the best matte lipstick formula I’ve came across. In this picture you have, top to bottom Lost Cherry, Amazing Grace and Walk of Shame. 

Now I’m waiting for some very, very, very hyped matte lipsticks to arrive in the mail, and I can’t wait to see how those compare to these Charlotte Tilbury little gems!

As you might have seen in my previous Charlotte Tilbury haul, when I placed that order I somehow deleted the Lip Cheat Re-Shape & Re-Size Lip Liner in Pillow Talk from my cart. Clearly I didn’t made that mistake twice! Haha! Gorgeous product! One of the few that really lives up to the hype around it, in my opinion!

By the time I’m writing this post I’ve already tried most of the products here and as an overall impression let me just tell you this: Charlotte Tilbury makeup is one of the best birthday presents a beauty lover can ever receive!

Hope you enjoyed this part of my birthday haul, Beautiful!

See you soon!

xx, Annie
