Gerard Cosmetics Lipstick Review

I’m seriously in love with Gerard Cosmetics lipsticks.

The packaging is so pretty and classy, I adore my gold bullets (and they look so nicely presented on my desk).

My small collection all has a nice scent - not overly offensive but not scentless either.

I have three Gerard lipsticks to my name at this point. I have three mattes, the arm brown 1995, deep red Cherry Cordial, and Nude. Despite all being matte, they all apply and last a bit differently.

1995 is quite a stiff and drying formula, so if you don’t like that I’d be wary of it. It also doesn’t last very well and fades, although it does fade evenly. However, it looks so nice on it’s enough for me to overlook its downsides. It’s just a really nice and easy wearable brown.

Cherry Cordial, ah Cherry Cordial. I have difficulty wearing this because it’s very dark. However, the formula is nice to apply. I’d recommend using a brush, however.

Nude is probably my favourite in my collection. Like most nudes, it’s a simple colour that works on most skin tones. I was actually a bit wary at first, because I felt like it looked too orange against my skin tone, but now I’ve really fallen in love.

GC lipsticks are a good medium - in between drugstore and high end - and you feel a bit special every time you put one on, haha. I definitely recommend you pick one up if you can.

I purchased 3 lipsticks from Gerard Cosmetics. Fire engine, Underground and Grape Soda. As soon as I got them I fell in love with the gold packaging I thought it was so classy and just awesome as it stands out from any other lipsticks I have. These lipsticks are very opaque. Even though these are matte they are still creamy and very long lasting compared to other high end lipsticks I have. My favourite Colour is my everyday colour is underground. Definitely would love to collect the whole range of lipsticks!!

i brought the shade Vintage Rose and Rodeo Drive (along with an ultra matte) from the GC online shop, the shipping took a long time and the tracking wasn't updated a lot which made it a bit frustrating, online these colours looked different, however they were very similar which again was frustrating but anyway! i use Vintage Rose most and its such a nice pink colour, not too bright either, however mine came out of the packaging after using it like 3 times :( the lipstick itself is great but i can't say the same for the quality of packaging :(

1995 is my favourite lipstick from GC. I like the formula. It goes on easily and wears fairly well throughout the day. Obviously it doesn't last as long as a liquid lipstick, but because it reapplys and layers well, that's no issue. I like that they feel good quality but still somewhat affordable.

I quite liked the brown shade I had of this lipstick. The shade was French something I'm sure. It wasn't sticky or crumbly and went on smooth and looked great. It lasted pretty well throughout the day however did have to re-apply a few times after eating and drinking. The lipstick I had was a creamy texture so it wasn't Matte but felt very comfortable on the lips.

I've got about five of these lipsticks and I really do appreciate them all. I have quite chappy lips so before I apply the lipstick I have to scrub my lips and put a balm on like ten minutes before hand. Even then sometimes I need to apply a gloss just so my lips don't feel dry. The colours are really awesome though which is why I keep using them!

From the sturdiness of the packaging to the style of the packaging to the actual product, I love these lipsticks. My only regret is that I only ordered two!

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.
