In the world of lipsticks and lipstick fanatics, (including myself) Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk is considered the ultimate nude lipstick. Made popular by Alia Bhatt who wore it on her wedding, this lipstick comes with a matte formula, is long lasting and buildable, enriched with oils, triglycerides and waxes with pigments that give your lips a 3D, fuller effect. And as much as I absolutely love it, not all of us can afford it all the time. For that, here are 6 alternatives to Pillow Talk at much lower prices.

Maybelline's Super Stay Crayon Lipstick in the shade Lead The Way is a close pink-ish nude to Pillow Talk. Since it's a crayon, it lasts super long and is great for daily wear. It gives upto eight hours of colour pay off. It also comes with a cool inbuilt sharpener which is much appreciated, since crayons become blunt faster compared to other bullet lipsticks.
Shade: 15 Lead the Way

Revlon comes with its own reputation of being one of the OG lipsticks that our mums swore by. Till today, all they've done is get better with their formula. All their bullet lipsticks come with a high-impact colour pay off along with being super moisturising. They also use mirco-fine pigments, which help the lipsticks look brighter, further they're infused with vitamin E and avocado oil with a non-cakey formula. While Daring Plum is the OG Revlon colour, Peachy Vibes is the closest to Pillow Talk.

Kay Beauty Matte Drama Long Stay Lipstick

Celebrity Katrina Kaif was one of the first to drop her beauty line, which has since then only grown and expanded to become one of the most recognisable makeup brands in the country. A tried-and-tested product, the Kay Beauty Matte Drama lipstick is great when it comes to a lightweight creamy matte lipstick. Though the formula is a bit lip-balm-y, we still love it for its extensive range of colours while the care ingredients in it contain grapeseed oil and red raspberry that moisturises while also protecting your lips from sun damage or any blue light. Though on the slightly higher price point compared to the rest, we still love it for being an affordable luxe product.
Shade: Muse

One of the most affordable lipstick alternatives, Faces Canada's Peach Candy 14 is a close second to Pillow Talk with more of an orange pink undertone. The lipsticks are matte, creamy and highly pigmented but not at all long lasting. So if you're okay with that, then go ahead! The formula is weightless, ultra-comfortable and is enriched with almond, jojoba and vitamin E oil, and comes in 15 shades.

L'Oreal Paris is another brand known for their beauty products since time immemorial. Though they don't have a lot of shades to choose from, The 232 Beige Couture is a close second to Pillow Talk. The formula is rich, vibrant and creamy infused with jojoba oil, which helps keep your lips hydrated throughout. It has a silky pigmented finish and is non drying, though this doesn't last very long if you happen to eat or drink something.
