There’s a reason beauty shoppers are totally obsessed with everything that is Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk. The iconic lipstick is a cult favorite thanks to its universally flattering shade and surprisingly comfortable wear for a matte formula. Still, the luxury-level price tag of $35 a tube makes it hard for some folks to justify clicking “add to cart.” That is why beauty budget shoppers are loving Maybelline’s Super Stay Teddy Lip Tint in Kneehigh, saying the soft pink lip color is “very similar” to Pillow Talk.
“This lip stain is everything!” one reviewer raved. “It goes on so creamy and moisturizing but somehow does not budge for hours and hours.” That pretty much sums up the appeal of this $10 beauty find. While the formula is marketed as a tint, shoppers say the lip color wears more like the best parts of a lipstick, stain, and balm in one — and delivers a shade that walks and talks like Pillow Talk.
The finish of this lip tint with buildable color is a major selling point, too. “I love the sheer matte effect,” one reviewer wrote. “It really is a mix between a matte cloud whip lip color and a lip stain.” Translation: it’s got that soft-focus, blurred vibe that makes lips look plush without the weight or chalkiness of a typical matte.
And when Maybelline says this mauve lip tint lasts, shoppers back it up. “I ate and drank rather aggressively and it didn’t budge 🙂,” a fan noted. Another added, “It doesn’t feel dry and is completely transfer proof.” Not bad for something that also manages to feel hydrating and light.
So if you’ve been flirting with Pillow Talk but can’t quite pull the trigger, Maybelline’s Super Stay Teddy Lip Tint in Kneehigh might be your new everyday obsession. According to shoppers, it’s “very, very similar” — and honestly, that’s all the permission you need.
