Charlotte Tilbury Magic Red & Scarlet Spell Matte Revolution Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Magic Red

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Red Matte Revolution Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a deeper red with subtle, cooler undertones and a semi-matte finish. There was a subtle sheen to the finish that disappeared within an hour or two of wear (faster if blotted lightly).

The texture was smooth, velvety without being emollient (but still glided over my lips with ease) that was lightweight and comfortable to wear. It had nearly opaque color coverage that stayed on well for five and a half hours. There was a faint stain left behind, and the formula felt neither drying nor hydrating.

Formula Overview

$37.00/0.12 oz. - $308.33 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "long-lasting color" that's "buildable" with "glowing pigments" that give the "illusion of wider, fuller lips." Some shades are buildable while others are fairly pigmented in one stroke. The consistency was more velvety, lightweight, and thin without being clingy or drying over time. I found that some shades were flattering on, as they didn't emphasize lip texture or get into my lip lines, while other shades gravitated into my lip lines. They wore between three and five hours and were typically non-drying. There was no discernible scent or taste.

Scarlet Spell

Charlotte Tilbury Scarlet Spell Matte Revolution Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a faded, medium red with subtle, cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. There seemed to be very fine, barely-there pearl running throughout the shade that kept it from being a true matte but the finish didn’t appear shiny (nor did it feel slippery on).

The lipstick had a lightweight, thinner feel to it that was velvety, smooth, and comfortable to apply and to wear. It had semi-opaque coverage in a single pass, which lasted well for five hours. The formula felt neither drying nor hydrating to me.
