What the gurus are saying

Pillow Talk is the shade that keeps earning praise, a soft in-between blend of peach, mauve and a touch of brown that some gurus say suits their own skin tone. The formula is the sticking point, though: some gurus found it loose and uneven when swiped on like a regular lipstick. The one thing to keep in mind: tapping it onto the lips may give a smoother, more even finish.

"These are iconic lipsticks. There's so many shades that I feel are so good, but I would have to say Pillow Talk. Any of the Pillow Talk lipsticks are going to be chef's kiss, so good. [...] Pillow Talk medium is really stunning as well. [...] Really you can't go wrong with any of those shades."

"It's nice because it contains some peach, contains some mauve, it contains a little bit of brown but not too much of any of those. It's somewhere in between all of those colors and I like it for my skin tone. [...] I feel like it would make the best impact with a lip liner. I feel like it's a satin and a little lighter. Big fan of this combo."

"This one is Pillow Talk in the Matte Revolution formula. I really like the shades. I'm wearing it actually right now. You see it's neutral enough but it still gives your lips some color to it."

"Aside from that not being the color I wanted, [...] when I went to apply this [...] like a regular lipstick, oh my gosh it's so loose and not formed that it just smears all over the place and you end up with big chunks of color unevenly blended on your lips. When I complained to my friend about it, [...] she told me you can't put it on like that—you have to basically tap it onto your lip."
✓Yay
"I'm going to take this lip color from Charlotte Tilbury in the color Pillow Talk. You can see I've used a fair amount of it, so that's going to go."

"This lipstick that Charlotte Tilbury sent me, I like it, it's called Pillow Talk. [...] I'm pretty sure it has fragrance in it because it gives you a [...] bit of a chocolatey scent and taste when you put it on, but honestly I really find that the Revlon Bare It All 755 is not mind bogglingly different, I feel like they're kind of the same now."
