Formula

And of course, the formula is key.

Opt for waterproof formulas for longevity or a washable one for easy removal.

Other formulas can be tubingformulas, which differ from traditional mascara in how they coat and enhance your lashes.

This mascara is basically the holy grail of lifting and volumizing in one.

But it wasnt until recently that I switched to brown; frankly, Im never going back.

Third, this formula is super thick and delivers instant length and volume.

If Im in a rush, just one coat will do the trick.

Lastly, this brown shade has red undertones which make the green parts of my hazel eyes reallypop!

Ive run, incline walked, and worn the Overcurl in 100-degree Texas heat.

Did it hold up?

Was my mascara still delivering looks eight hours later?

I really appreciated the curved brush, which was great at coating each of my lashes.

Even my lashes on my inner tear duct werent missed.

The more I swipe, the fuller the look.

The formula adds nice length and volume to my lashes withoutclumping.Also: It stays put for a long time.

The packaging is super fun!

Its easy to open and doesnt make a mess.

I didnt experience any irritation, but I wouldnt say I necessarily have super sensitive eyes.

This mascara is vegan and cruelty-free.

I appreciate that it also comes in a smaller travel size.

It was a very subtle, soft brown, which I loved.

The mascara had great packaging.

It didnt make a mess when opening or on my face.

I do have sensitive eyes, and this mascara did not irritate my eyes.

Another feature worth noting?

Its waterproof and has a vegan formula.

One of my favorite things about this mascara is that itactuallyisnt clumpy.

None of that with this!

The formula went on and stayed on well.

And Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Volumizing Mascara delivers on all of those fronts.

(In truth, Ive yet to encounter a Charlotte Tilbury product Idontlike.)

From the sleek packaging to the high-quality formulation, Charlotte Tilburys mascara hits the mark.

(Just keep in mind that it wont make lashes appear super-thick, at least in my experience).

Whats more, a couple of coats were more than enough to take my lashes to new heights.
