Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Review

I had this given to me in the colour Kimchi doll, the packaging is a nice gold mirrored bullet with Gerard cosmetics stamped on the bottom half of the bullet.

The colour Kimchi Doll is a nude peach and not really the ideal colour for my medium skin tone as the colour is quite light and quite sheer.

I do however love how creamy and buttery the formula of the lipstick is, it glides on effortlessly and doesn't drag or pull. It has a strange scent to it and it reminds me of my grandmas lipsticks when I was younger. It's not unpleasant but it's definitely different.

This transfers onto everything and I find I have to touch up every hour. This cream/sheer finish doesn't dry my lips out and I find I don't need to wear lip balm underneath which is great for those of us with dry lips.

I love the creamy formula of this lipstick but the colour, sheerness and it transferring all the time make me not like this lipstick. Unsure if I would purchase anymore because I have heard great things about these lipsticks.

I'm used to my MAC lipsticks and have been pretty loyal but after hearing my beautician rave about these and using a discount code I ordered 3 lipsticks.

They were super cheap and arrived after a few weeks (keep that in mind too).

For me, the texture was the strangest. It highlighted every imperfection on my lips and made me feel so self conscious. They also didn't last long at all, I had to reapply every hour or so.

In the end I gave them all away and probably wouldn't buy the lipsticks again. Might try the lip gloss though

I have 6 of the current 7 lipsticks from Gerard Cosmetics. I brought direct and found they have fast delivery. They are all quite matte formulas. They are long lasting. I find I need to apply a lip balm under and with some I need to build the colour up. But once application is made they last and look great. One thing I've found is that these make my teeth look really white. Considering they originate from a teeth whitening company I think this is great!

The shades I have are:

Nude: quite opaque with one swipe, it's a peachy nude.

Buttercup: light pink, quite sheer but buildable. It's creamier then their other shades I've found. Not as long lasting and I tend to get that gross line on the inside of my lips with this!

Tequila Sunrise: I was surprised to find this is my favourite! I don't tend to suit coral but I really liket it on me. It's very vibrant but wearable. Opaque and super long lasting!

1995: This colour represents the year 1995 well, it's a soft brown shade. Can be built up to a darker shade of brown. Very wearable.

Fire Engine: this will make your teeth look so white! A very beautiful classic red. Not as opaque as I thought it would be which was disappointing.

Cherry Cordial: dark vampy plum colour, like the red it takes a few swipes to build up the intensity you usually want with these kind of shades. I only just got this shade for Christmas so haven't tested its longevity yet.

They all have a lovely fruity scent which is nice.

The packaging is very nice, all gold encased. Similar size to MAC lipsticks but maybe a touch rounder. I have found a few faults, some wind down while applying which is very annoying.

I think that this lipsticks are super cute in their golden toned bullets but for some reason I haven't yet purchased more!

Formula wise, the lipstick has a velvet texture to it that allows it to be evenly applied without dragging on your lips, with no bleeding or feather occurring. The pigmentation is spot on and gives you an even coat of colour in one swipe per lip. They are not long lasting and you do need to top them up every couple of hours as they wear off your lips but that is the texture of this type of lipstick and I don't mind topping it up when it is needed.

Tequila Sunrise - Peachy orange shade

I don't have any strong feelings about this lipstick and I rarely reach for it at all when I am applying makeup. It is a lovely lipstick and nice to wear, it is that I just don't use it that has me with a truly neutral review on it.

I have been collecting all the lipsticks and have a fairly good collection for their glosses too I love the fact that they have a great staying power (best staying power I have had in a lipstick) They are super pigmented though and long lasting with out bleeding colour all over your face, and don't forget their cute packaging, like a gold bullet

although they are not with out fault I have some that have faulty packaging, (applying lipstick and slowly the product is pushed back down so you have to wind it up again to finish application) also their formulates fairy with different colours or release dates, their newer colours are a lot creamer then their originals so if you have dry skin you may well have a little problem.

Like many others I was very drawn to the ''Kylie Jenner" lip and had heard a lot of hype around Gerard Cosmetics and the '1995' lippy. Unfortunately I thought it was pretty hard to get my hands on it, so when I saw the website did direct shipping to NZ and were having a sale I decided to give it a try for myself.

I really like the packaging - the gold metallic casing may be plastic but it feels secure and well made and I like how it stands out amongst my other lippys.

The formula is a matte finish and longwearing, even holding up through drinking and light eating. I do find it a tad dry so I like to exfoliate before initial application, apply a lip balm and wait for it to set in before applying straight from the bullet.

1995 as a colour is everything I could have hoped for. A soft brown shade it's the perfect colour for everyday use and really does fit the 90s lip colour well. The formula is highly pigmented so one swipe is all you need but you can build the colour up to a darker shade of brown.

This is one of my most worn lippys and Id happily repurchase any of the Gerard Cosmetics shades.

I only own the 1995 lipstick and it is awesome. It's more like a matte formula/ finish which means it lasts for hours.. I need to get more Gerard Lippys! 1995 is the also the perfect Kylie Jenner Lipstick!

Let me start by saying that I absolutely LOVE this lipstick. The packaging is beautiful, they're not too expensive (especially since they have really good deals ALL THE TIME), and I really like the colour and formula.

I have the colour 1995, which is the most popular one it seems.. It comes up pretty dark and brown on me, but I like it for something different. The texture (not sure if this is the same for all of them) is pretty drying, and I have dry lips anyway, so I always have to put a lip balm underneath it. It lasts a really long time and when it starts fading off, I think it does so in quite a nice way. Not too noticeable and doesn't go patchy.

Berry Smoothie and Rodeo Drive are definitely next on my list - the colours look sooo beautiful in the online swatches.

After seeing all the hype of these lipsticks on Youtube from the likes of Jaclyn Hill, MannyMUA and Carli Bybel and also the amazing deals Gerard Cosmetics posted on their Instagram I decided I needed to try these out. I purchased 4 lipsticks in the shades Nude, 1995, Berry Smoothie & Rodeo Drive. The lipsticks are a matte formula but they are not too drying once applied on the lips. And I find they wear over a long period of the day and hardly need to touch up. They do transfer so you will find some colour payoff left on a glass after a drink but I don't notice that I need to touch up after having a drink. The one thing I want out of my lipstick is longevity and I think Gerard Cosmetic lipsticks do that for me, I love their staying power. I have never been a matte lipstick kinda girl as like many out there I can't stand dry lips but since wearing these for the last few months I have a new found love for matte lips. They are extremely pigmented and apply well with the way the product is shaped inside the bullet. I hope they release more shades in the near future.

I purchased this in the shade 1995 after the whole hype over Kylie Jenners lip colour! The added bonus is that this was designed/formulated by Jaclyn Hill who I just love. I had to have this lipstick. Up until now I haven't tried any Gerard Cosmetics products but I had heard of them previously Gerard Cosmetics/Whitening Lightening.

The packaging is so awesome! I love how it is gold! So classy. Gives the added excitement of opening it. The lipstick is so pigmented and the colour is perfect. It is long lasting and quite creamy. Easy to apply and not much transfer during the day with eating,drinking etc. How ever after time of owning this the lipstick does get particularly dry and the bit that winds up and down started to stop working fully.

I love this formula and I will defiantly purchase more.
