Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Get inspired by the neutral nudes of the 90s with Jaclyn Hill's signature lipstick, 1995. Inspired by the 90s grunge revival and the beauty trends of an unforgettable decade, this iconic creation is a matte but creamy lip color that isn't trendy but a timeless expression of glam.

Best Lipstick Formula!

I am obsessed with these lipsticks! At the moment I only have 3: 1995, Nude and All Dolled Up. 1995 is definitely my favourite, it is the perfect deep brownish/pink. Nude is the perfect nude for every skin tone and it looks amazing under a nude gloss. All Dolled Up however is my least favourite. In pictures online, it looked like the perfect barbie pink which I love but when I got it, it was a neon/highlighter pink which looked way too bright for my skin tone (i have a light/medium skin tone). The formula of these lipsticks are unbeatable though, they have matte finish but it doesn't dry my lips at all. The most amazing thing I noticed about these lipsticks is that when I drink my coffee from a mug, there is no lipstick left on the cup! So this lipstick lasts ages even if you eat or drink. Even though the packaging does feel quite cheap, it still looks pretty and the actual product is the most important part. So excited for more colours to be released :)

Tips: For the All Dolled Up lipstick I wear a dark mauve/wine colour lip liner underneath and then apply the lipstick. The colour comes out as a pinky/purple colour which I love!

Wonderful Lippies

I absolutely love these lipsticks! I currently own four of them in the shades 1995, Vintage Rose, Rodeo Drive and Passion Play.

Each of these colours look amazing on my ultra fair warm skin tone. 1995 is a lovely warm brown colour with a matte finish. Vintage Rose is a stunning mauve pink with a satin finish, which looks very natural on me. Passion Play is a vibrant warm red that works best with a lip liner to ensure longevity. Finally Rodeo Drive is, on my skin tone, a warm browny pink with satin finish.

Each of them has reasonable staying power for a bullet lipstick. The formula, in itself is neither hydrating nor vary drying. However, if like me, you are prone to dry lips I highly recommend using a good lip balm before applying these lipsticks.

Creamy, Matte Formula

Great everyday lipsticks that have a cruelty free formula. Glide onto the lips nicely and has a creamy, matte formula so it is quite durable for a lip product.

My absolute favourite is the shade 1995!

Tips: I love dabbing a little of shade 1995 on my eyes when I am out and about and don't have any eyeshadow on. It takes your day look to a soft nighttime look in seconds!

Great Matte Lipstick!

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!

Tips: Expect them to be a little bit dry/ matte

90s perfection

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.

Tips: The website provides fast, direct shipping to NZ.

Holey Grail Lipstick

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.

Tips: Good lip care e.g. lip scrubs and lip balm to keep lips free from being dry and flakey to get best results with application and look.

Love these lipsticks

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

Tips: Try mixing the colours. There are some combo's that look so good.

BUTTERCUP - BUTTERLOVE

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' .

I love!!

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.

Tips: If you have dry skin I would recommend to use a lip scrub and apply a moisturising lip product before applying these, only applies to their older colours though (first 6 or so releases)
