The Charlotte Tilbury Dark Lip.






Now, if you've been around these parts for a while, you may know that back in October I did a full review of this lipstick. Unfortunately at that time the formula wasn't working for me and my lack of matching lipliner was causing all sorts of problems. 

But I'm back, lipliner in hand, to tell you guys how I've managed to make this gorgeous OTT plum shade work for me. 

When I was last in Selfridges, the lovely lady on the Charlotte Tilbury counter helped me pick out a lip liner to match 'Glastonberry'. After what seemed like infinity I managed to decide on the shade 'Berry Naughty'. It's a delectable deep maroon colour, one shade darker than the Glastonberry lipstick. This is perfect for creating a little definition. The buttery texture also works well to blend in with the lipstick - not causing an unnatural line like some other lipliners. 

Personally, the key to working with matte lipsticks is to not make them matte anymore. I think I've realised that matte just isn't made for me, but this colour definitely is. To combat this look, I first apply a clear lip balm underneath before letting it soak in for a little while. Next, using a lip brush, I gently apply this colour all over my lips. Finally, I'll add definition by drawing around the edge of my lips with the liner. A little blending and you're good to go! 

Do let me know what dark lip combos you guys are loving, and I'll see you next time!

  4. That color is gorgeous! I'm not one for lip liner but my current favorite lip color is called "Spice" by Revlon. It's a very nice dark coffee color :)
