Product Information

Full details

The Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Contour Duo in Brown is designed for anyone seeking to create the illusion of wider, fuller, and more defined lips with a natural-looking finish. This innovative, double-ended pencil features a darker contouring shade ('Sculpt') and a lighter filling shade ('Fill'), simplifying lip contouring for a 3D effect. While offering impressive volume, hydration, and long-lasting wear, mastering the precise application of both formulas might require a little practice to achieve optimal results.

FAQs

How do I achieve the '3D lip effect' mentioned?

To achieve the 3D effect, use the darker 'Sculpt' end just outside your natural lip line, focusing on creating subtle shadows at the cupid's bow and under the centre of your lower lip. Then, use the lighter 'Fill' end to colour in the rest of your lips and blend seamlessly with the 'Sculpt' shade. This contrast between light and shade creates the illusion of fuller, more defined lips.

Can I wear the Lip Cheat Contour Duo on its own without other lip products?

Yes, absolutely! The 'Fill' end provides a beautiful all-over colour that can be worn alone for a natural, fuller-looking lip. The 'Sculpt' end can also be used subtly to define your lips without needing additional colour.

Is this product hydrating, or will it dry out my lips?

The Lip Cheat Contour Duo is infused with plump-effect peptides and is clinically proven to moisturise for up to 24 hours after one application, significantly increasing hydration. It's designed to leave your lips feeling soft and moisturised, not dry.

How long does the colour typically last?

The product is formulated for long-lasting wear, providing up to 6 hours of colour. It also works to help prevent lipstick feathering, maintaining a neat appearance for an extended period.

What's the best way to sharpen this pencil?

We recommend using a high-quality cosmetic sharpener. If the pencil feels too soft, placing it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before sharpening can help firm up the formula, leading to a cleaner and more precise tip.

How do I choose if the 'Brown' shade is right for me?

The 'Brown' shade is one of Charlotte's iconic 90s super nude tones, designed to be a natural-looking, neutral nude that mimics natural shadows. It's not too cool or too warm. To see if it's your perfect match, consider how earthy taupes and deep browns complement your natural lip pigment and skin undertone. You can also check other neutral nude shades in the range if this one isn't ideal.

Troubleshooting

My contour lines look too harsh or unnatural.

Ensure you blend the 'Sculpt' shade gently into the 'Fill' shade using your finger, a lip brush, or the 'Fill' end itself. Use a very light hand when applying the darker contour, focusing on subtle definition rather than a stark line. Practice helps in achieving the perfect seamless blend.

The pencil tip breaks easily when I sharpen it.

This can happen if the product is too soft. Try placing the pencil in the refrigerator or freezer for 5-10 minutes before sharpening. Always use a high-quality cosmetic sharpener designed for makeup pencils, and rotate the pencil gently during sharpening.

The colour doesn't seem to last the full 6 hours.

For optimal wear, ensure your lips are clean, dry, and free of any oils or balms before application. You can also lightly blot your lips after applying the 'Fill' shade and then reapply a thin layer. Layering with a long-wearing lipstick or setting with a translucent powder can also help extend wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Creates the illusion of wider, fuller, and 3D-looking lips.
Easy-to-use double-ended design simplifies lip contouring.
Highly pigmented and blendable formulas ensure a natural, seamless finish.
Long-lasting wear for up to 6 hours and helps prevent lipstick feathering.
Hydrating formula with plump-effect peptides moisturises for up to 24 hours.
Neutral nude tones are designed to mimic natural shadows for a flattering effect.

Cons

Mastering the specific contouring technique for a 3D effect may require practice.
The 'Brown' shade, while neutral, might not perfectly suit all complexions or desired looks without prior testing.
Reapplication is needed after approximately 6 hours or after eating and drinking.
Pencil format requires sharpening, which might not be as convenient as an automatic liner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Use & Application

Upon first use, simply uncap the desired end ('Sculpt' or 'Fill') and apply directly to your lips following the performance instructions. No special setup is required.

Compatibility

Other Lip Products: The Lip Cheat Contour Duo is highly compatible with other lip products. It can be used as a base for your favourite lipsticks, lip glosses, or even liquid lip colours. Its long-lasting formula helps to lock in other products and prevent feathering.
Skin Tones: The 'Brown' shade is designed as a neutral nude, aiming to flatter a range of complexions by mimicking natural shadows. For best results, consider your natural lip pigment and skin undertone.

Care and Maintenance

Sharpening: As a pencil product, it will require sharpening over time. Use a good quality cosmetic sharpener to maintain a precise tip for both the 'Sculpt' and 'Fill' ends. For a cleaner, firmer sharpen, you can place the pencil in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before sharpening.
Storage: Store the Lip Cheat Contour Duo in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent the formulas from melting or drying out. Always replace the caps tightly after each use to protect the product and maintain its creamy texture.
