To get Kate Moss’ iconic nude lipstick look, reach for my Lip Cheat in Iconic Nude and K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Nude Kate. I’ve worked with Kate since the 90s where I’d mix concealers and pink lipsticks to concoct the perfect nude shades for her lips. Flash forward, I created Nude Kate – my hydrating, light nude lipstick with a hint of pink for seamless, supermodel-inspired lips.
When doing Kate’s makeup, I take my Iconic Nude Lip Cheat and softly outline her lips. The beige-nude shade is the perfect understated nude, defining the shape of lips without looking too ashy or dull. Then, I apply Nude Kate lipstick on top; these two shades blend beautifully to create an iconic, 90s-inspired nude lipstick look.
One of the most famous lipstick trends to come out of the 90s were the brown lipstick shades that ruled the runway. My favourite brown lip liner and lipstick combination is my Lip Cheat in Foxy Brown and Matte Revolution lipstick in So 90s – they’re the perfect pairing for beautiful, nude-brown lips.
To transform into a 90s beauty, use Foxy Brown to create a suede-brown outline that enhances the look of your natural lip shape, then fill in your lips with So 90s lipstick to give them a buildable coat of cocoa-brown. This quintessential 90s nude-brown lipstick look will look fabulous on you, darling!
Tilbury Tip: For a lighter nude-brown look, pair So 90s with my Lip Cheat in Iconic Nude.
Create a cool-toned nude lipstick look with my Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Original and Matte Revolution lipstick in Very Victoria. Inspired by my gorgeous friend, Victoria Beckham, Very Victoria channels the taupe and beige shades that she is synonymous with. It pairs beautifully with the nude-pink tones of Pillow Talk Original to create a mood-setting nude lipstick look.
Get Victoria’s lipstick look by lining your lips with my Pillow Talk Original lip liner to understatedly enhance their shape and colour, then apply Very Victoria for sophisticated taupe-nude lip colour with a magical matte finish.
Get ready for the runway with my Lip Cheat in Foxy Brown and Super Nudes lipstick in Catwalking! This lip combination creates a peachy-nude lipstick look with supermodel-inspired definition.
Foxy Brown is a deep suede brown that’s perfect for contouring the look of your lips. Use the Foxy Brown lip liner to cheat a fuller-looking lip shape, then glide Catwalking onto the lips to create a matte, peach-toned nude lip with a new attitude.
Tilbury Tip: Fair skin tones may prefer to use a lighter shade of lip liner like Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Original to get the Catwalking look.
Look and feel like the most fabulous version of yourself with my Hot Gossip Lip Cheat and Super Fabulous lipstick! Always a hot topic, this lip combination is my secret to rosy-brown pout perfection!
Hot Gossip is a tawny rose lip liner that flawlessly outlines your lips ready for a slick of Super Fabulous lipstick. The rosy tones in Hot Gossip complement the rich, rosewood-brown of Super Fabulous, making them a gorgeous lip liner and lipstick combination for modern-matte nude lips.
Tilbury Tip: My Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Intense also pairs perfectly with Super Fabulous lipstick and looks gorgeous on deeper skin tones.

Darlings, if you prefer a more natural makeup look, you can enhance the look of your lips without lipstick by reaching for a gorgeous lip liner and lip gloss combination. I recommend my travel-sized Glossy Lip Duo in Fresh Pink to give the lips subtle colour and shine.
Get the Fresh Pink look by lining the lips with Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Original, then gliding Collagen Lip Bath in Refresh Rose over the top. Pillow Talk Original will softly reshape the look of your lips in the most natural-looking nude-pink shade, and Refresh Rose will give your pout a coat of sheer, mirror-shine lip gloss that leaves lips looking plumper and more hydrated.
That's not all, darlings... Did you know that my Collagen Lip Bath is now available in Pillow Talk Fair, Pillow Talk Medium, and Pillow Talk Deep? Line your lips with the corresponding Lip Cheat, then bathe your lips in my mirror-shine lip gloss to create the glossiest lip liner and lip gloss combination.
Have you heard of gym lips, darlings? On social media, makeup lovers are pairing nude lip liner and lip oil to create a natural-looking, straight-from-the-gym look. You don’t need to work out to get the look, darlings… The lip secrets in Charlotte’s Magic Gym Lips Kit will do the work for you!
Pairing Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Original and Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir is a shortcut to natural-looking gym lips. Pillow Talk is everyone’s perfect shade, making it a perfect choice for subtly lining your lips for a no makeup effect. Once you’ve applied your lip liner, roll on Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir to give your pout a glossy veil; this magical lip oil has the power of a serum and the finish of a gloss, helping lips to look and feel softer and more hydrated.
Tilbury Tip: Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir will look fabulous layered over the top of any of my lip-perfecting lip liners, giving them a healthy, glossy finish.
