Pillow talk is great for us brown girls. It’s up to you which shade you pick. They have options under pillow talk. I use shade 2 medium but there are others.

[@shreyaannam92]

Completely agree on the pillow talk lipstick being too pale for Indian skin tones. I remember it being all over social media and everyone calling it “flattering for all skin tones”. And I was so disappointed when I received it. It washed me out. Wasn’t even that pigmented.
However, some other Charlotte tilbury lipsticks in general are quite unique, pigementef and and comfortable to wear. Some shades that suit Indian skin tones : Walk of No Shame ( a stunning muted red / brown) and Mrs Kissses ( a peachy orange which is great for every day wear) 😊

[@nytemere5448]

At this point, I suspect that “universally flattering” makeup products are a myth - like Big Foot or the Loch Ness Monster.

[@lyneae3786]

That pillow talk color is also leaning blue toned. People of fair complexion must also have a blue undertone for this color to suit. Otherwise, fair neutral with any yellow would be washed out by this color.

[@lemonlime1920]

I’m fair and neutral and it looks great on me

[@CircumstancesNeverMatter]

I can’t lie!!! I actually like the shade!!! I’m black and it works out great for me I’m caramel skin tone wise and I use the pillow talk intense and medium both are very pretty on me I’ve I guess the other two types of pillow talk look best 😂

[@bodhi5933]

I agree. Idk why everyone has to go out buying Charlotte tillbury pillow talk when it's horrible on darker skin😖. It's only for very fair skin. Get colors that go with your skin tone, deeper or brighter ones, not muted, neutral colors.

[@BeStillMySoulTarot]

I will never regret buying anything from Charlotte Tillberry. I love everything, that I’ve purchased from the brand. The quality is completely different from drugstore there is no comparison!

[@sabajannat4843]

She is saying this shade is not suitable for Indian skin tone. But many bought them because on commercial or white girl pillow talk shade looks stunning. But this shade doesn't go with Indian skin colour.

[@gloriawiseman1603]

because you are white

[@neptunesedge9123]

The shade of pillow talk definitely isn’t flattering for everyone, but for me personally it’s been the only nude lipstick that looks good on my skin tone which is very pale. Not a bad product, but shade being complimenting to your skin makes a difference.

[@sristisingh9648]

It’s a lovely color but same it looked like no lip color on me so I gave it to my mom who is extremely fair and it suits her better.

[@ShwetaVijay]

Clearly said this is only for fair skintone :)

[@leen1q84]

It's a horrible shade for brown skin tones, so is the much hyped MAC Velvet Teddy. Pillow Talk Medium is more flattering for medium brown skin tones.

[@montananerd8244]

there are so many shades & formulas that it's almost impossible for this to be truly one of a kind.

[@HitchyBitchyBabe]

You're just so damn right. There are so many hyped up products out that just don't work with my skin (dry, mature, very pale), facial features and so on. It is better to consider this and make up your own mind than to follow blindly certain trends. Thanks for reminding. I freaking love de-influencing!

[@silvybothamakeup]

It’s important to buy shades for your skin tone. Not every shade is made for every skin tone. When you follow a hype, watch what influencers are promoting it and what their skin tone range is. Follow the hype of influencers with skin tone ranges similar to yours. Or take the hype for the formulas and not the shades if you don’t look like the people promoting it.
Pillow talk is a gorgeous shade and can be manipulated to work in medium skin with a deeper lip liner. Pillow talk medium and deep are also beautiful alternatives for our complexions.

[@anad05]

You said exactly what I was thinking. You should know the colour before buying it and then not complain. I wouldn't buy something that I know is not the colour for my skin. That is not fault of the brand. I don't agree with this video.

[@ShwetaVijay]

I don’t care if you don’t agree. I had to give my point of view. I spoke about pillow talk original not 1/2... this is a bestseller here in India. And most hyped... please read the comments of how many bought it thinking it was going to suit them and it didn’t. I’m glad it suited the both of you but there’s also 100 more that it didn’t. And it’s not a shade for most brown skin girls. I bought it just to make this video to show how it looks on a medium skintone . And it looks awful!

[@anad05]

@@ShwetaVijay it’s fine. I also don’t care of what you think. The way you put this video it looks like CT sold you something mistakenly. If you bought the wrong colour on purpose to show that is not the colour for deeper tones is ok, but don’t complain about the brand. I can’t be it more clear if tou don’t understand. False allegations is what your doing about the lipstick.

[@ShwetaVijay]

@@anad05 where did I complain about the brand? I’m on the pr list you know.. so why would I ? But every brand has good and bad and one needs to state the facts out here. This is a lipstick shade we are talking about not the whole brand .. no murder took place here

I’m fair complected and that color still does nothing. Plus, those lipsticks evaporate off my lips and leave a thin uncomfortable dry film. No other lipstick does that to me. They are so not worth the price to me.

[@Dropletsojoy]

As a lover of CT lipsticks other shades great for brown skin are : Wedding Bells ( slighting deeper shade of pillow talk great for Mac nc40/nc42 skin tones)
Pillow talk medium ( even deeper shade of pillow talk)
MI Kiss ( berry shade - my personal favourite)
Walk of no shame ( muted red)
Super Fabulous ( brown- can be used as a nude for deep skin tones)

[@leen1q84]

I'm torn between MI Kiss & Pillow Talk Medium. They're so similar.

[@Dropletsojoy]

@@leen1q84 I think they are very similar which is why I only bought MI kiss and skipped pillow talk medium. If I remember correctly when I swatched in store I think pillow talk medium was more brown toned whilst MI kiss had more berry/reddish. But can't remember exactly

[@dearpriyanka]

That’s so true pillow talk is so overrated lipstick which I don’t found appealing at all. Tried (coz of the hype) at nykaa luxe store and frankly I am fair complexion woman and it wasn’t looking good on me too. Definitely not for Indian skin tone. I always wonder why these beauty influencers are obsessed with this lipstick.

[@montananerd8244]

wait, CT PT's just a pinky nude? lol! I guess I had imagined something incredible. the funny thing is that love of luxury makeup is actually quite niche, but if you are buying for the name, who's even going to notice? It's not like wearing a really well known fashion brand, so few people would even recognize the packaging or branding, it's a status-oriented purchase that does not deliver status. I can count the number of times anyone has ever been impressed by what i am wearing/using in the public bathroom: 5. and I m 50+ lol!

[@debasmitak3679]

True …CT lipsticks are nothing unique and there are cheaper and better alternatives out there. However if you want to own a CT, Walk of no shame is a more flattering colour for Indian skin tones 😊

Pillow talk as a colour may not be suitable but the Charlotte tilbury formula is amazing. You don’t get that from cheaper brands. So far I never came across any Indian brand which offers such light and airy formulas and wear off nicely and evenly.
I love Gurlain the most in category of lipstick

[@daniellesmith7582]

The truth about make up shades.. there is a color grouping for each persons skin tone. I’m blonde and olive in color they said. I get pale but get a bit darker than you in the sun. I am a spring and some summer colors as well as autumn. Winter and autumn colors are what typically look the most flattering but once you change hair colors.. say you highlight it and add a bit more orange color with the blonde.. and then the lighter hair makes the lighter colors more flattering. People look online for wigs and I always suggest if you think neon green hair is gonna look good on your head, go to a hair store and check on a wig before you do your whole head.

[@melissaminor6104]

I've NEVER understood the hype for this lipstick. It's a horrible shade for all skin tones in my opinion. I can't wear it even with my fairish skin. It's just an impossible color and people clearly buy it because Charlotte Tilbury said it's their most popular.

They then heavily promote it after falling for FOMO.

If you can spend (not a necessity but if you would like to treat yourself) pillowtalk medium is a great color for medium skintone. And the lipstick cannot be compared with some other . It is actually lovely the way it smells, glides on the lips so smoothly and keeps the lips hydrated. It is absolutely light weight. So it is not a fomo. It is a great product if you can afford it
