Charlotte Tilbury’s new Hot Lips 2 collection is inspired by 11 women and men, including Amal Clooney, Jennifer Aniston and Kylie Minogue.
We’ve seen lipsticks inspired by supermodels, actors and singers, but now Charlotte Tilbury has lifted the cloak off its most exciting collaboration yet: a lipstick inspired by renowned author JK Rowling.
The peachy nude-rose shade, called JK Magic, comes in the brand’s iconic K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula, a sheer-but-buildable lipstick that feels as comfortable as Gryffindor robes fresh from Diagon Alley. It is also refillable and comes in enchanting black and gold packaging decorated with shooting stars and crescent moons.

Tilbury, who has worked with the Harry Potter author for years, developed the shade from the two lipsticks she uses on Rowling the most: Pillow Talk and Bitch Perfect.
“This shade complements her flawless complexion and beautiful, piercing blue eyes,” says Tilbury.

Amazing Amal
Inspired by: Amal Clooney

Glowing Jen
Inspired by: Jennifer Aniston
Formula: K.I.S.S.I.N.G
Shade: a tawny beachy rose
Tilbury says, “I wanted to create a tawny beachy rose that would complement [Aniston’s] effortlessly beach-but-chic vibe. This is a universal colour that looks good on everyone. It enlivens the complexion to give you instant looking health.”

Formula: K.I.S.S.I.N.G
Shade: a cool, ’60s, pop pink

Viva La Vergara

Formula: Matte Revolution
Shade: soft-wine
Tilbury says, “It is a flattering soft-wine shade; the perfect wearable nuanced colour like my best-selling Walk of Shame shade. I worked closely with Sofia Vergara to come up with this colour. It has a painterly texture that blends with the natural pigment in your lips and sets beautifully.”
Red Hot Susan

Angel Alessandra
Inspired by: Alessandra Ambrosio
Formula: K.I.S.S.I.N.G
Shade: a sunset, peachy nude
Tilbury says, “A lot of people with deeper, tanned complexions struggle to find the perfect nude, as it can wash them out. This is the perfect nude lip they’ve been looking for.”
Patsy Red
Inspired by: Matte Revolution
Formula: Patsy Tilbury (Charlotte’s mum)
Shade: an iconic, statement red
Tilbury says, “I remember watching [Patsy] from a very young age, with her perfectly painted red nails applying her red lipstick, she would never leave her house without makeup on. She taught me about the confidence boosting powers that wearing makeup brings and how she felt instantly empowered the moment she put on her favourite red lipstick. And this is an iconic, statement red lip! It’s instant glamour in a tube!! It instantly brightens and pulls an outfit together.”
Enigmatic Edward
Inspired by: Edward Enninful
Formula: Hydrating Clear Lipstick
Shade: clear
Tibury says, “I knew I had to create the best, most moisturising formula. This timeless, comforting lip conditioner is as clear as Edward Enninful’s vision.”
