Kim Katrall Stars In Charlotte Tilbury ‘Pillow Talk’ Campaign

Charlotte Tilbury launches its new ‘Pillow Talk Soulmates Collection’ this week and Kim Cattrall stars in the accompanying campaign, which celebrates individuality and self-expression.

This season, Pillow Talk, the beauty brand, introduces two new products: the Pillow Talk Beauty Soulmates Face Palette and the Pillow Talk Love Effect Lipsticks. The palette includes an Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder designed to neutralise dark under-eye circles and redness, paired with a Pillow Talk Love Blush for a healthy flush. Meanwhile, the lipsticks offer four new shades with lasting, hydrating colours. The new collection is available online and will arrive at other retailers shortly.

The Pillow Talk Soulmates Collection has an intriguing history. Per the official website, “Love is a natural beauty booster, darlings… I studied the way blood rushes to your lips and cheeks when you fall in love… The way kissing releases a rush of endorphins that enhance the look of your lips… The way you glow differently on your wedding day… Then, I created my nude-pink makeup universe inspired by these nature-blessed love tones!”

Charlotte Tilbury has a history of featuring prominent personalities in its campaigns, such as Twiggy, Joan Collins and Kylie Minogue. “Kim knows what she wants and understands the power of self-love, which is what this campaign is a celebration of. She is the ultimate Pillow Talk Beauty Muse,” said Tilbury. “She’s cheeky, naughty, fearless and exudes limitless confidence and empowerment. She embodies everything my brand stands for!”

Charlotte Tilbury

Born in London and raised in Ibiza, Charlotte Tilbury developed a passion for makeup at an early age as she grew up surrounded by inspiring artists, musicians, actors and writers. Charlotte began her career assisting make-up artist Mary Greenwell and honed her skills at the Glauca Rossi School of Makeup.  Charlotte believes that everyone deserves to look and feel like the most beautiful, confident version of themselves, through the power of make-up. As a make-up artist turned entrepreneur, she continues to push boundaries with her award-winning makeup, skincare and fragrance brand.

Throughout her career, Tilbury has worked on over 180 magazine covers, collaborating with fashion icons and celebrities. Before starting Charlotte Tilbury Beauty, she worked with industry leaders to launch beauty lines, leading creative product development for brands including Helena Rubenstein, MAC, Armani, Burberry and Tom Ford. She has started trends on the runways of New York, Milan, Paris and London, acting as show makeup director for brands such as Prada, Miu Miu, Alexander McQueen, Roberto Cavalli, Lanvin and Chloé among many others.

In 2013, she launched Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Ltd with a collection of 200 products. The beauty brand debuted at Selfridges in London, achieving record-breaking sales and critical acclaim. By 2015, the flagship opened in Covent Garden, and the products became available in the United States, Canada, and Australia.

In 2020, Spanish fashion and fragrance company Puig acquired a majority stake in Charlotte Tilbury Beauty, valuing the company at approximately £1.3 billion. This partnership was instrumental in expanding its global reach and product innovation. Under Puig’s ownership, the brand’s net revenue has more than tripled.

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty is committed to sustainability, focusing on responsible sourcing of plant-based materials and ingredients. The brand has also pledged significant contributions to charitable organisations, including a £1 million donation to Women for Women International.
