Singapore's first Charlotte Tilbury pop-up café is now open with pink desserts and free photobooth
Something pretty in pink has landed at New Bahru, and it's a classic case of love at first sight. Enter none other than the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Café – the British beauty brand's first-ever pop-up café in Singapore. Taking over pastry café Átipico as well as the open lawn in a wave of rosy hues, this limited-time event marks the launch of the new Pillow Talk Beauty Soulmates Collection in Singapore.
For the uninitiated, Pillow Talk is a cult-favourite Charlotte Tilbury range which focuses on universally flattering shades – think nudes, soft and rosy pinks, and deeper burgundies that enhance your features in a natural manner regardless of skin tone. At this romantic themed pop-up, fall in love with four new Pillow Talk Love Effect Lipsticks ($53) which have a pink heart gem adorning their caps; as well as the Pillow Talk Beauty Soulmates Palette ($90), a duo palette with powder blush and finishing powder in a luxe gold heart-shaped compact. Both items are limited edition launches, so you know what to do if you don't want any regrets.
Come hungry because Átipico has come up with a series of exclusive bakes and drinks specially for the pop-up, all of which are in theme with this pink paradise. We highly recommend the Pillow Talk 'Just Kissed' Cruffin ($8), a crispy flaky pastry with strawberry and vanilla filling. Those with a penchant for creamier desserts can opt for the airy Pink, Plum & Pout Choux Puff ($15) with lychee and raspberry confit, or the Beauty Soulmate Strawberry Pavlova ($15) which gets a nice sourish twist with lemon cream.
Into the strawberry matcha trend? You'll love Charlotte's Strawberry Matcha ($9) – our favourite beverage of the lot – which has a perfect balance of full-bodied matcha with strawberry compote and whipped strawberry cream. Other drinks include the cold-brewed Love Potion Peach Rose Iced Tea ($8), and the Pillow Talk Pink Latte ($7), an espresso with the Charlotte Tilbury logo dusted on top.
Get ready to pucker up and pose, because there's also an open-air Pillow Talk Love Playground featuring a four-metre-tall old-school dial phone flanked by giant Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks as the main highlight.
Head 'round the back, and you'll realise that this installation doubles up as the Pillow Talk Kissing Booth, where you can get instant photo prints with pink heart-shaped frames by Solace Studios for absolutely free. You don't even have to make a purchase to get in on the fun, so strut on in with your Beauty Soulmate and unleash your inner diva as the camera snaps away.
TIME OUT TIP This area is also decorated with deck chairs and umbrellas in a cute strawberries-and-cream colour scheme. If Átipico gets too crowded, opt for a takeaway and enjoy your drinks and snacks here, but remember to be considerate and clean up after yourself once done. The best time to chill here would be towards the end of the day, as the mid-day sun can get pretty unforgiving.
The Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Café in Singapore is now open at New Bahru, 46 Kim Yam Road, till May 23, 2025. The takeover at Átipico opens from 9am to 6pm on Tuesdays to Sundays (closed on Monday), while the Love Playground at the lawn opens from 10am to 10pm daily.

Romesh Ranganathan's 'flawed tornado' dad was jailed for fraud when he was teen
Comedian and TV presenter Romesh Ranganathan has spoken of how his family's life was turned upside down when his father, Ranga, was sent to prison for fraud Comedian and TV star Romesh Ranganathan has recalled how his perfect upbringing was turned upside down when his dad Ranga who was imprisoned for fraud. Romesh was a teenager living in Crawley at the time and attending private school, when he and his younger brother and mother were forced to move out of the family home and live in a Bed & Breakfast for some time. Romesh recalled: ' My dad had fallen into financial trouble. What it turns out is that he'd lost his job and he was trying to make money in this sort of Sri Lankan Del Boy way, and it wasn't working out. And he couldn't keep up the mortgage repayments on their house. And they couldn't afford, even with my scholarship, they still couldn't afford the fees at this school I was going to.' Matters came to a head when it became apparent Ranga had also been having an affair and when he disappeared for several days, Romesh was tasked with asking the 'other women' where his dad was, on behalf of his anxious mother. Romesh said: 'She tells us that my dad had been arrested three days previously, and he had been involved in some sort of fraud case. I don't know why we'd not heard, why he'd not got in touch, but this lady knew. 'He ended up going to prison for two years, or just under two years. You know, I remember my dad being convicted and going to prison the day before my birthday. I think it's my 15th birthday. And so my friends are having a party for me. I just went and pretended that wasn't going on because you want some normalcy. 'Because for a while, we moved out of the house, and then a counsellor gave us a room in a bed and breakfast.' Romesh told Lauren Laverne on Desert Island Discs that he would regularly hear his mum crying in this period, and she managed to provide for her sons by getting a job as a cleaner. His father did come back to the family home when he was released from prison and they patched up their relationship over time. Romesh said: 'On my dad's 60th birthday, by that time, our relationship had really kind of improved. I'd had kids at that point, and I saw the way that my dad was being with my children. I was like, I've never seen this side of my dad, and we're in a really good place. My memory of my dad is of like a flawed tornado.' His parents came to the UK from Sri Lanka and Romesh pays tribute to his mother Sivashanthini – known as Shanthi – who kept the family together during his father's absence. Romesh admits that he didn't appreciate the sacrifices she made at the time. Shanthi has since gone on to appear alongside her son on television where she has proved to be a funny and observant sidekick. Romesh believes his late father would have been proud of Shanthi's role as, what he laughingly describes as, 'one of the safest hands in British comedy.' He speaks openly on the Radio 4 programme about his struggles with mental health which started around the time he took his A-Levels. He tells Lauren that he has thought about taking his own life more than once and explains that he saw it as a solution to his emotional turmoil. He reveals that he's experienced serious dark periods at several points during his life but has learned how to manage those times. He says that he talks about the experiences he has been through on stage but explains that talking about it comes with responsibility. 'You got to be careful because it's triggering,' he said. 'I'm trying to destigmatise (mental health) but you do also have to be mindful of the fact that people may have been affected by that and then if I suddenly say I had thoughts about taking my own life and somebody's lost someone through that or they've had those moments themselves, you have to be sensitive to that and you don't always get it right but I think the rewards outweigh the risks.' Rarely off screen, Romesh has presented travel programmes and documentaries, starred in his own sitcom and hosts the Weakest Link on BBC One. He also presents Radio Two's Saturday morning show and another weekly Radio Two programme in which he shares his love of hip hop music, which make up many of his choices when it comes to Desert Island Discs. Romesh addressed his reputation for having a busy workload, he says there is no game plan, he just does 'whatever feels good'. He reveals that he is thinking about taking, what he calls, a step back. Romesh added: 'I want to be at home a bit more." "And by the way, this is not an announcement of retirement, but I do feel like, relatively recently, this is quite fortuitous that we're talking at the time that we are, because I have just hit this period of thinking I am probably going to just be a bit more measured in what I do going forward. And I think I might take, like, a bigger break between bits. A walk in the park could lead to my next stand-up idea. Who knows…I need to fill up my reserves.' His music choices on the show include tracks by Eminem, Public Enemy and Stevie Wonder.

Robie Williams, Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh ★★★★ "Are my best days behind me?" asked Robbie Williams from the stage. "Am I still just the fat dancer from Take That?" It's been eight years since he last played this stadium, and although the several thousand people here clearly needed little reminding of a formative teenage crush and one of the most relentlessly good-at-his-job British pop stars of recent decades, at times it seemed like he was getting back into character. Robbie Williams performing at Murrayfield | Lisa Ferguson "I just spotted a fan I slept with back in the '90s," he said, and the camera zoomed in on a bloke in the crowd. Making fun of dated tabloid speculation about his sexuality continued later, as he appeared in a pink suit and feather boa for a bombastic New York, New York and a raw, sexy Kids alongside his entourage of female backing dancers. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Williams made constant reference to the apparently traumatising effect of being an ex-member of Take That, uncannily impersonating Gary Barlow and closing a mid-set acoustic medley with a version of Relight My Fire. For this he was joined by Tom Rylance of support band the Lottery Winners and Michelle McManus. Robbie Williams performs at Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh | Lisa Ferguson He performed with arrogance and swagger, also an essential part of the brand, dashing off Let Me Entertain You, Old Before I Die and Rock DJ - the latter in ludicrous red feather coat and shades - early in the set, and drawing continual attention to his toned 51-year-old triceps. "I'm shitting hits all over the place," he proudly announced, and it was (not literally) true. Love My Life, Strong, Millennium, Come Undone and many more were remembered word-for-word by his audience.
