Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Review

Love them and currently need them all! I have a couple and they are creamy and so pigmented. My favourite one I'm using everyday is Berry Smoothie it glides on so easily and lasts me pretty much all day and leaves a nice stain of colour on the lips for the duration if I don't reapply. Goes on nicely over any lipliner and is great under gloss Gerard lipglosses are also amazing. The packaging is super pretty also and easy to travel with.

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.

I was gifted this by a fellow BR girl. when i first recieved this, the thing that stood out the most, was the Gold Bullet! my magpie eyes zoomed straight towards it. then i open it and see a nude shade, which, i will be honest, i have way to many nudes and even though i knew what it looked like, i though 'oh no K, not another one', BUT OMG! this beats ALL my other nudes, including my hug me MAC one. it applies like a DREAM! and it lasts a good 2 hours before fading, evey now and then i will top with a gloss, but not all the time. I am seriously in love with this shade, and i am looking forward to one day owning more of Gerad lipsticks. 10/10 for my perfect Nude shade that isnt 'my lips but better' .

First of all I have to say the packaging is amazing and the deals they comes out from this brand are never ending. I just want to get all the colours. I have 1995, Nude, kimchi doll and butter cream. 1995 is my favourite and butter cream second. 1995 is a sultry deep brown with a red undertone with my skin (yellow, warm undertones) and I think it makes me look more tan and stays on amazingly. I like buttercream next as it goes on so smooth and the best pinky nude colour I have come across. Kimchi doll is very similar to buttercream but much lighter. If you mix kimchi doll with a deeper colour it would be perfect. Nude is a nice colour but comes of a little orange for me so I do not reach for it as much. Overall they are great pigmentation, long lasting, gorgeous packaging and when bought in a deal (I brought 4 for $45 with free worldwide shipping from gerardcosmetics.com) then they are not that pricey for lipsticks

I was looking for the perfect red lipstick and heard great reviews about "fire engine red" I looked up the swatch a few times on different skin tones and decided to purchase, on arrival I was so impressed with the packing, they remind me of gold bullets. I opened it up and looked at it and the colour was just on so vibrant before even swatching !! I applied lip liner and you should with most red lipstickes and started to apply the lipstick. I found the formula wasn't creamy is was kind of dry .... Like I had to let it warm up first. I went with it anyway and later found it to be waited drying and was cracking around the edges as if I was dehydrated 10mins after application. I have since have tried the lipstick another few times by warming it up. Using lip balm, etc etc etc and I haven't found much difference, I am a little disappointed but I want to purchase one more lipstick just to compare as people rave about these and I'm feeling I just had a but of bad luck maybe ?

I bought a few shades of these lippies in a deal, and the one that stands out the most is Tequila Sunrise because I don't like it. I looked up swatches and must have been drunk when I purchased this because it's bright bloody orange.

The formula is so lovely and creamy, and when I swatched it on my hand it was a lovely pink color. Sadly, when I googled swatches further, I saw it was actually a bright orange and I knew immediately it would wash me out, so I didn't bother trying it on my lips. The formula on my hand was gorgeous, and lasted a long time even though I played in it and smooshed it around.

I like the gold packaging, and it reminds me of a little gold bullet. Sadly though, and because of how slack Whitening Lightening were with the shipping and the fact my shipping code was invalid for 4 weeks, I won't be buying any more shades.

I just brought the one lipstick 1995 sadly the colour wasn't me but i love the formula so am looking forward to trying some the other colors! these look great paired with their lip glosses over top for bit of a different finish! so 8/10 (:

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 brought 6 colours as they were having some very good sales last month. I got the shades: Rodeo drive, Berry Smoothie, Fire Engine, Kimchi Doll, Cherry Cordial and 1995 (I'm yet to received this. I purchased it in a separate order). They are relatively creamy but if you have dry lips I would recommend putting on lip balm a bit before applying as I think these would not be too agreeable. I found that these lipstick sink into your lines so it would also be a good idea to exfoliate your lips before applying the lipstick. They have a funny smell, the best way I can describe it is that old makeup smell, if that makes sense? I found they were quite hard to apply at first but just needed to be warmed up. They have great pigmentation except for fire engine and cherry cordial but with a couple coats these two were great. They seem to last quite a lone time and the darker ones do stain your lips. They seem fine to reapply over the top. The packaging is quite cute a gold bullet like the Mac bullets you get but I do find that Gerard ones do look a bit cheap on closer inspection. I found it quite hard to find swatches of these lip colours and I did google them but a lot of photos were not true to colour.

Kimchi Doll: is a peachy nude. It is best suited for fair complexions. I think this is very similar in colour to Limecrime's babette but not as peachy and pigmented as Lime crime. I find this one can be mixed with other colours and goes great with rodeo drive and I imagine it would be nice with 1995. I would recommend wearing a lip liner with it. I find applying a darker shade of lip liner all over my lips darkens the colour and could look better on darker complexions.

Rodeo Drive: is a medium rosey pink. A lovely colour and probably my favourite so far. Good pigmentation

Berry Smoothie: I think this is very similar to Rodeo Drive but a little more berrie. I would not recommend getting both Berry Smoothie and Rodeo Drive unless your collecting them all. Has good pigmentation.

Fire Engine: A classic Hollywood red. Took a bit longer to warm up and I found it was not as pigmented as the colours described above but with a couple of coats it was stunning. I would recommend putting a lip liner on before.

Cherry Cordial: is a dark vampy burgundy with berry undertones. According to their website you can wear this sheer or wear as a opaque satin lipstick. I would wear a lip liner with this one. This is probably my least favourite while I love the colour it is very bold for me.

I definitely recommend buying from this company but I would wait until they bring out coupon codes on their facebook page as you can usually get free worldwide shipping and save at least 50%. They have great customer service as my first order went missing in the mail and they were happy to replace (my 1995 lipstick) and I received 50% discount on my next purchase.

After a bit of a muck around and about a 4 week wait time my whitening lightening/Gerard cosmetics order arrived yesterday. Picking shades was a hassle and a half with no swatches or even pictures of the products in their packaging to give an indication of what the colors were like. In the end after bouncing from window to window I selected as my lipstick shade all dolled up, which appeared to be a gentle pink- nothing too crazy. Well, what a shock I got when I opened the tube to find a neon, in your face, super bright pink- not at all what I was looking for. As far as formulations go, this applies easy and is fairly creamy, although not extremely so. I have a feeling if your lips were super dry then this product my require a bit of prep work to ensure a non-blotchy application. The packaging is super sleek, which I was very impressed by. It is bullet shaped and a shiny (but somehow not tacky) gold. I have heard negative reviews about the smell of Gerard lip products, but although this has a faint scent, I cant put my finger on what it is- definitely not offensive IMO. This company would greatly benefit from putting some swatches or similar on their site to avoid other customers making the same mistakes as me. As it is I will be applying this like a stain (blotting off after application) in order to tone down the intensity- even after this it will be an in your face bold lip- great if that's your thing, but its not mine!
