I’m a makeup artist and found the perfect dupe for Charlotte Tilbury’s pillow talk lipstick & it's only £7.19

By Matthew Alvarez |

CHARLOTTE Tilbury's Pillow Talk lipstick has become a cult classic for makeup fans.

But at £27 per tube, it's not the cheapest option for beauty fans, especailly if you're reaching for it every day.

Luckily, professional makeup artist Melissa Sophia found a dupe for the nude lippie, and it's £19.81 cheaper.

The beauty guru put the two products to the test by applying one to her top lip and the other to the bottom before asking TikTok users if they could tell the difference.

"They're actually different brans and different lipsticks but for me they're exactly the same shade."

The L'Oreal colour riche lipstick in shade 173 only costs £7.19 and is available in shops like Boots and Superdrug, as well as larger supermarkets.

Melissa swatched both the lipsticks on her arm to compare them again.

"I mean, it speaks for itself," she said.

She captioned the clip: "Finally found the best dupe for the infamous Pillow Talk lipstick, you guys need to try L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche shade 173!

"Literally identical shades and a fraction of the price."

Other beauty fans were equally as impressed with the cheap dupe, one commented: "They're EXACTLY the same, so pretty."

And a second agreed: "They look identical."

However, one person said the L'Oreal dupe didn't look the same on her.

She said: "I have the same lipstick but it doesn't look the same on me as it does on you! What lipliner do you have on?"

Melissa revealed she paired the lipstick with a liner from her own brand, MellySophia in the shade 'sandy touch'.
