We are seeing so many many lip launches this year and I love it! Today I have a look at the new Hollywood Beauty Icon shades and a few other recent launches from Charlotte Tilbury including:

KISSING Lipstick shades

I have five new KISSING Lipstick shades that pull neutral pink or rose on me. How the undertone looks on you will vary depending on your skin tone, skin undertone and lip tone. She also launched red shades, but since I rarely wear reds, I passed.

The new shades are cooler than many of her other neutrals, but to me they are still in the neutral category. The only one that pulls off the really cool shade on my lips is Red Carpet Pink.

All KISSING lipsticks have a satin finish with a soft sheen. They are creamy, medium to full coverage and comfortable to wear. Lasting power is standard for her lipsticks, they stay on pretty well but are not transfer proof. I love that these have a metallic pink color to the outer packaging. Make it fun!

Icon Baby is a neutral pink with a little bit of shimmer. The shimmer isn’t really noticeable on my lips, although it does add a bit of dimension. This one has a little bit of texture in the tube which I suspect is from the shimmer, but once on the lips I don’t notice it.

Candy Chic is a candy neutral-warm pink. It’s almost a Barbie-like shade, but with a bit more warmth.

Red Carpet Pink is a pretty cool toned pink creme. On me it pulls almost mod-like, I’m really surprised how bright and warm it is on the stock photos and on their models even though they have a completely different color than me, so I can see how it can look completely different.

90s Pink is a neutral mauve rose pink shade. It almost has a berry vibe to it. I think out of all of them this is one of my favorites.

Rose to Fame is another mauve pink rose, it’s similar to 90s Pink, I’d say Rose to Fame pulls a little more life to me.

Rocket Girl is one of two limited-edition shades Charlotte Tilbury launched inspired by Elton John. This is a muted dusty pink. She describes it as a “cool nudey pink”, but on my lips it’s more of a neutral warm shade that almost pulls a little peachy on my complexion.

Swatch comparisons below with many of her other neutrals. These are the most neutral neutrals I could find in my stash. In swatch testing, I was really surprised to find so many of her other shades to be more neutral-warm in comparison.

Swatches added below include Hot Lips 2 Dance Floor Princess, Pillow Talk + Pillow Talk Medium, Very Victoria.

I didn’t find any of the reds, although they look pretty amazing. I rarely wear red and I feel like I already have a good selection from the recent launches of Bobbi Brown, Makeup By Mario and Chanel 31 Le Rouge.

Lip Cheat – new shades

She launched 5 new shades of lip liners. I took up the two easiest options. Icon Baby is described as a “warm nude rose”, but to me it’s more of a peachy nude pink. It draws warm on me and on my lip tone you can hardly see it. Iconic Nude and Pillow Talk show up much better on me.

90s Pink is a deep rose. I was hoping it would be identical to the lipstick version, but it pulls a few shades darker and more reddish. Still very pretty and goes beautifully with the lipstick.

Swatch comparisons with other Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat shades, Huda Beauty Lip Contour Honey Beige and Muted Pink, Make Up For Ever Completely Sepia, Pat McGrath Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil Nude Venus and Bare Rose, Chanel Lip Liners Beige Naturel and Pivoine, Tarte Maracuja Lip Liners in Buff and Mauve, MAC Lip Pencil Soar.

Queen of Happiness

I think it’s been so long since we’ve seen a new eyeshadow palette from Charlotte Tilbury. Queen of Luck has a pale cool cream shimmer, duochrome golden pink shimmer, warm gold glitter topper and soft warm tan brown matte. I think it’s beautiful. I tried it next to Celestial Lights which was limited edition. I think they are quite similar in effect, so I don’t think you need both if you already own Celestial Lights.

You can see the Queen of Luck in action on this reel here. I really like it, but don’t think it’s an absolute must unless you missed Celestial Lights.

All in all, lots to love from these launches. I think there is a shade for everyone. If you tried any of the reds, I’m curious to know what you think!

All the Hollywood Beauty Icon shades are out now at Charlotte Tilbury and Sephora. There are some bundles available at Charlotte Tilbury if you buy a Lipstick + Lip Liner Duo or a Lipstick Duo Bundle (you can choose the shades).

Rocket Girl and Queen of Luck are both exclusive to Charlotte Tilbury for now.
