Channel the TV presenter’s iconic style with her top makeup picks
The Traitors is back with a vengeance, delivering yet another season of devious deceits, dramatic pauses, and undoubtedly the show’s trademark cloaked figures. And let’s not overlook Claudia Winkleman’s iconic look – her impeccable eyeliner and go-to nude lipstick almost steal the limelight from the intense round table confrontations.
If you’re a fan yearning to emulate Claudia’s classic chic, we’ve got news for you. We’ve discovered the exact lippie she swears by so you can recreate her sophisticated style.
Grazia magazine has revealed that Claudia’s must-have lipstick is none other than Charlotte Tilbury’s Hot Lips Lipstick in ‘Kim K. W’, reports OK!. This pale nude beauty is blessed with a satiny smooth finish, offering the perfect middle ground between nude and pink tones Claudia adores.

The formula isn’t just about the colour —it’s been infused with orchid extract ensuring your lips stay moisturized and looking fresh, while special light-diffusing pigments give the impression of a plumper pout. Ideal for any setting, this versatile lipstick fits as well behind a desk as it does while plotting your next Traitors-style move.
Claudia’s not the only one bewitched by this cult-favourite. It’s racked up over 1,100 five-star reviews on Sephora, with users praising its “beautiful colour” and “great coverage”. One shopper raved about the lipstick’s application and effect, saying, “The lipstick glides on your lips smooth, and it has pretty pigment. I love to use a brown lipliner and this lipstick in the middle of my lips to give me a perfect ’90s lip. I love it.”
Another fan shared their satisfaction: “I feel great every time I use this lipstick. It feels like velvet on your lips. It is so soft and creamy and has great coverage. It is not transfer-proof or long-wearing, but I feel like a movie star when I wear it.”
A third customer found their ideal shade, commenting, “I’ve been searching for the perfect nude lipstick, and this is it. I love to pair this with the iconic nude lip liner. It goes perfectly with every lip liner that I have, and I can’t get enough of it.”
However, not all feedback was glowing. A less impressed user stated in their two-star review: “I wanted to love this lipstick, but the formula has no staying power. I normally don’t complain about lipstick longevity, but this has zero longevity.”
For those looking to emulate Claudia’s signature style, the article suggests pairing the light nude lipstick with bold jet-black eyeliner and possibly a blunt fringe for the full effect. To achieve her smoky eye look, Claudia herself recommends: “I love the Vieve Eye Wand in Expresso and the Vieve Eye Wand in Raven. I also have to say Charlotte Tilbury-everything Charlotte touches is gold. I adore the Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette The Rock Chick, £45, for creating a smouldering eye look.”
Claudia is all about the Cannaray Lip Balm, having admitted she “hasn’t put down” the product since she first got her hands on it. Plus, at 52, she’s keen on the Eve Lom Cleanser, declaring: “I’ve dilly-dallied with other stuff, but I just think that’s the one-and this is coming from someone who rarely takes off her makeup.”
