The Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Liner in Pillow Talk Fair - Purple offers a velvety, transfer-resistant formula designed to define, reshape, and color your lips, or provide a long-lasting base for lipstick and gloss.

The Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Fair - Purple is engineered for precise application and enduring wear, making it a versatile tool for various lip looks. Its velvety texture ensures a smooth glide, preventing any tugging or skipping, which is crucial for achieving a perfect lip line.
Defining and Reshaping: For a classic defined look, start by outlining your Cupid's bow and the center of your lower lip. Then, connect these lines to the corners of your mouth. The 'Pillow Talk Fair - Purple' shade works excellently to create a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic, defined edge, depending on your natural lip color and the pressure applied. This is particularly effective for correcting asymmetry or adding slight volume.
As a Base for Lipstick/Lipgloss: To maximize the wear of your favorite lipstick or gloss, completely fill in your lips with the Lip Cheat liner. This creates a uniform, long-lasting base that grips the subsequent product, preventing feathering and improving overall color intensity. For instance, pairing the Pillow Talk Fair - Purple liner with a complementary purple or berry lipstick will intensify its color and ensure it lasts for hours.
Wearing Alone: The creamy, matte finish of the Lip Cheat can be worn entirely on its own for a sophisticated, understated look. The 'Pillow Talk Fair - Purple' provides a unique muted purple tone that can be a statement on its own or a comfortable everyday shade for those who prefer cool tones.
Correcting and Preventing Feathering: Apply the liner slightly outside your natural lip line to create a barrier that prevents lipstick from bleeding or feathering into fine lines around the mouth, especially useful with creamier or darker lipsticks.
Tip: For an even smoother application and enhanced longevity, gently exfoliate and moisturize your lips before applying the liner.
Proper setup, understanding compatibility, and consistent care will ensure you get the most out of your Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat liner.
Preparation: Ensure your lips are clean, dry, and optionally, lightly moisturized and exfoliated for the smoothest application.
Sharpening: Before your first use and as needed, gently sharpen the pencil using a high-quality cosmetic sharpener. A sharp tip allows for the most precise application. Avoid over-sharpening, which can waste product.
Lip Products: This liner is designed to be compatible with virtually all lipsticks, lip glosses, and liquid lip colors. It performs exceptionally well when paired with Charlotte Tilbury's own range of lip products, including the Pillow Talk line, to create cohesive looks.
Color Matching: The 'Pillow Talk Fair - Purple' shade is best paired with purple, berry, or plum-toned lipsticks and glosses for a seamless look. It can also be used to create a custom shade by blending with other lip colors.
Storage: Store your Lip Cheat liner in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect the product's texture and integrity.
Capping: Always replace the cap securely after each use to prevent the tip from drying out, breaking, or becoming contaminated.
Sharpening: Regularly sharpen the pencil to maintain a fine point. Clean your sharpener frequently to ensure it cuts cleanly and doesn't damage the pencil.
Hygiene: For best hygiene, avoid sharing your lip liner with others.
