Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Medium-Deep Cheek Palette Review & Swatches

Pillow Talk Medium-Deep

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Medium-Deep Beautifying Face Palette ($75.00 for 0.35 oz.) required a particularly heavy-handed approach to really get through the stiffer textures used throughout the palette. They seemed like a hybrid, gel-powder based formula, but the textures were stiffer than that, really needing to be pushed and swirled to get coverage. For those who prefer sheerer coverage, it should be workable, as the shades remained blendable on skin, which was where texture mattered the most.
