If you watch YouTube videos then Gerard Cosmetics wouldn’t sound new to you. All the big YouTubers have reviewed their lipsticks, lipglosses etc and its quite a famous brand internationally. I never thought of ordering their lipsticks because I assumed that the brand doesn’t ship to India/Internationally. However after seeing haul of a fellow blogger I decided to grab the chance and order few of their products.

I got 2 Lipsticks & 2 Lip glosses for 40$ and free shipping ! What else can you ask for? My order was delivered within 13 days and in perfect condition.

Packaging looks luxe and classy. Gold case, design almost resembles MAC packaging. I though it would feel heavy , however the lipsticks are quite light weight with Gerard Cosmetics written on the bottom half of the case.

Shades – After going through thousands of swatches online, I zeroed on Berry Smoothie & Fire Engine. I have a weakness for reds and whenever I order one shade has to be it. Fire Engine is a beautiful classic Red which will suit all skintones, In the above picture it looks warm because of the flash. Berry Smoothie on the other hand is a plum toned shade which works as a perfect everyday neutral shade for me . I can see the shade quite close to Revlon Grape Juice Super Lustrous Lipstick, though the formula of Berry Smoothie is on opaque side.

Texture & Formula – Both the lipsticks have different formula. Gerard Cosmetics Berry Smoothie has more creamy finish, where Fire Engine has slightly matte finish. Berry Smoothie glides on the lips effortlessly and provides even finish in two swipes. However formula of Fire Engine is more velvety and needs couple of layers to even out the color on the lips. Both the shades turn semi-matte after sometime. None of the colors or formulas settle in fine lines or accentuate dry patches.

Pigmentation – Gerard Cosmetics Fire Engine & Berry Smoothie provide opaque coverage in 2-4 swipes. Darkness of my upper lip is completely concealed in both the lip swatches. Gerard Cosmetics Lipsticks Berry Smoothie , Fire Engine review swatches Photos (1)

Staying Power – These lipsticks stay on for good 5 hours on me. Since both the formulas transfer a bit, you might observe fading after sometime.

You can buy these online from GerardCosmetics website.

 

Overall Thoughts

I am quite pleased with the formula & pigmentation of Gerard Cosmetics Lipsticks. Both the shades are comfortable to wear and don’t make lips dry. Berry Smoothie & Fire Engine offer opaque coverage and 5+ hours of wear time. Buy them when you find a good deal online.
