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.

Tequila Sunrise

I adore these lipsticks. The colours are amazing and so is the formular. They are very easy to apply and don't budge throughout the day. These have easily gotten on the top list of my favourite lipsticks, and I am already planning my next purchase - worth the money!

Tequila Sunrise is a coral, bright color and it is amazing for summer. It would look absolutely fantastic on various skin tones and with a bronze eye look.

1995

After all they hype these lippies have been getting I had to try one. I love brown lipsticks, and so thought that the (almost) iconic 1995 would be the one I needed to try. It arrived as a late birthday present, and I'm obsessed with it!

I can't get over how lovely the colour is. It's a deep brown, almost burgandy, and looks lovely for a deep winter lip. The formulation is impressive, and I have truly fallen in love.

This lipstick is matte, although it takes some time to get to that stage. Once it is completely dry, it is matte and doesn't transfer at all. Even though it's matte I find it to be moisturising, and I don't feel like my lips are drying out or the need to apply balm/gloss as well. Wear time is a few hours, although it does wear off more if you are eating/drinking (like most lipsticks).

Overall, I love the colour and formulation of this lipstick. The packaging makes me think of a fancy tampon occasionally, but that's not really a problem for me - others have said it's like a bullet so that's accurate too. Either way, this is amazing as a lipstick!

Gerard Cosmetics lipstick

Absolutely love these lipsticks. They are super pigmented and long lasting I love the pretty gold packaging. The matte lipsticks are super creamy and easy to apply and are not drying at all. My favourite shade would definitely be kimchi doll which is a super pretty nude pink. I would definitely recommend these lipsticks.

Tips: Look on their Instagram because they often have Promo codes to get huge discounts.

Better than MAC

I recently purchased my first Gerard Cosmetics lipstick and I am shocked.

This lipstick is creamier, more opaque and wauy nicer shade than any of my mac lipsticks!! Its insane! I got an odd colour because I recently went blonde and wanted to try something different so I order the colour 'Underground' which is a mauvey grey ash nude colour and i freaking love it!!! It looks like pale purple mixed with silver grey! It is insane and makes my teeth look so white, it especially suits blondes and make you look tanner without looking washed out! It stays on even through eating and drinking and give the most gorgeous satin finish! Defiantly buying a tonne more!

Love everything about 1995.... Lipstick.

I adore this lipstick. It's neutral enough to wear as an everyday shade, but also dark enough that when paired with a dramatic or smoky eye looks excellent for a night out. The formula is smooth, and the lipstick glides on easily.

Tips: Looks great with MAC lip liner in Whirl or Stone (oddly enough). Excellent buy, and who doesn't love Jaclyn Hill?? xxx

Absolute Essential!

As someone who has an unhealthy obsession with lipstick I can safely say that it is essential for every beauty addict to have at least one GC lipstick in their collection.

From the super creamy formula to the sleek gold bullet packaging there is nothing to not love about these lipsticks. The pigmentation on these is amazing and even after one swatch the colour is vibrant and gorgeous.

I love that there is such a wide variety of shades and the quality does not falter at all from shade to shade.

Of the colours I own I would have to say my favourite is Berry Smoothie. Just as the name suggests it is a berry tone and is super wearable whilst also being a bit on the daring side. LOVE. 1995 would definitely be a close second for the top spot in my eyes.

Tips: Keep an eye out on their Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook. They always have coupon codes which save you a LOT of money and make the deal even sweeter.

Love love love!

I absolutely love Gerard Cosmetics products, these lipsticks are beautifully pigmented, the difference finishes, matte, and gloss, never fail to live up to their promised finish. & are always gorgeous! Gerard has some of my all time favourite lipstick shades!

Tips: Personally I love these matte finishes. So if you love matte lipsticks then definitely go try these Gerard cosmetics matte lipsticks!

1995

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.

Fire Engine Red

I only have one shade of the Gerard Cosmetics lipsticks but I hope to some day purchase more. I absolutely adore the packaging that these lipsticks come in. They are shiny and gold all over, which seems quite glamourous to me. They don't feel cheap or plastic-y either.

The shade that I have, Fire Engine, is a matte red colour. It is the perfect classic red that would suit all skin tones. I first came across this shade when watching Shaaanxo's youtube video on "How to get perfect red lips". If you're interested in getting this shade, I would suggest you watch this video to see just how amazing this colour is.

Even though this lipstick is a matte formula it glides on smoothly. It was quite creamy for a matte lipstick and it never made my lips feel dry when wearing it (though I still wore a lip balm underneath it). It is well pigmented and I found that it lasted all day with little need for a touch up. I always wear this lipstick with a lip liner, and I've never found that it 'bled'.

If you're not keen on purchasing direct from the Gerard Cosmetics website, then paganmarie.com (NZ) and whitefoxboutique.com (AUS) both have fast shipping to New Zealand.

If you are still looking for that perfect red shade I would seriously recommend this product to you. I am in love with it and I can't wait to purchase more of the shades.

Tips: The Australis Lip Liner shade 'Lady in Red' is a great match for this lipstick.

Loooove

I absolutely love these lipsticks. Especially Jaclyn Hill's 1995. I love the colour. It suits my skin tone wonderfully. Tan or not. (I'm a light olive colour) The packaging is so sleek and adorable. The product itself is nice, it's quite thick and drying but it doesn't feel too heavy on the lips. I love matching it with different lipliners for that ombre effect..

Only downside for me is it transfers and I hate having to retouch up after drinking or eating. Otherwise it wears for a good few hours - with fading but it doesn't go patchy when it does fade.
