Beauty Care: Charlotte Tilbury Cover Star & Catwalking Matte Revolution Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Cover Star

Charlotte Tilbury Cover Star Matte Revolution Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light, golden peach with warmer undertones and a satin finish. It had medium, somewhat buildable coverage, but the texture had more slide and slip, which resulted in the product not adhering evenly to my lips and getting pushed around.

This also seemed to cause more product to get into my deeper lip lines, which was noticeable in person from the beginning and only worsened over time. This shade stayed on for a mere two hours and was lightly moisturizing (wore it back-to-back to check that!).

Formula Overview

$34.00/0.12 oz. - $283.33 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "long-lasting color" that's "buildable" with "glowing pigments" that give the "illusion of wider, fuller lips." Some shades are buildable while others are fairly pigmented in one stroke. The consistency was more velvety, lightweight, and thin without being clingy or drying over time. I found that some shades were flattering on, as they didn't emphasize lip texture or get into my lip lines, while other shades gravitated into my lip lines. They wore between three and five hours and were typically non-drying. There was no discernible scent or taste.

Catwalking

Charlotte Tilbury Catwalking Matte Revolution Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light brown with soft, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with less than a second layer. The texture was smooth, more velvety without being too slippery, but it glided comfortably across my lips and didn’t feel clingy.

The issue I had with it was that the product seemed to separate along my deeper lip lines, which became more noticeable (in person) after two and a half hours of wear. It lasted for three hours and was lightly hydrating over time.
