A good matte lip can be somewhat tricky to pull off. Between making sure your lips are flake-free and well-moisturized along with the precision needed to apply matte lipstick, it can be a demanding -- and sometimes pricey -- pursuit for beauty fans vying for that luxurious matte look. Fortunately, fans of the high-end and well-loved Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk -- an award-winning, $35 matte lipstick loved by TikTok beauty creators and British Royalty alike -- discovered a $10 alternative that performs just as well: L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick.
One shopper called the shade Worth It the "PERFECT [budget friendly option] for Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk," adding, "It looks amazing on the lips. I feel like it's creamy and moisturizing and it lasts a while without having to re-apply! For the price, you cannot beat it. Definitely will purchase again!" Hydrating matte lipsticks are rare, but this one delivers, thanks to its infusion of hyaluronic acid that keeps your pout comfy and fuller-looking all day.
The shade Le Nude Admirable has also won hearts. One thrilled reviewer said, "The color and texture are beautiful! I love that it doesn't dry my lips at all... reminds me a lot of Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk but for so much less." Not only do the hues rival high-end options, but the matte lipsticks are designed to last up to 16 hours with a powdery matte finish that won't leave your lips feeling parched.
And for those seeking a slightly bolder option? Le Wood Nonchalant has fans swooning. It's described as a "rosy terracotta" that's a dead ringer for MAC's Spirit. One devotee shared, "The way it feels and wears reminds me of Charlotte Tilbury's matte lipstick. It's lightweight and doesn't feel drying... I've been wearing it nonstop."
With its slim, contoured bullet for precise application and a range of 12 shades, this creamy matte lipstick checks all the boxes. One shopper summed it up best: "I have many high-end lipsticks, and this is the one I reach for. I get compliments every time I wear it."
So if you're a fan of a matte lip -- or have been curious about trying a matte lipstick for the first time but don't want to commit to a more high-end tube before testing the waters -- why not give a shade or two of L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick a try?
