| L-R BALLET SLIPPER, SERENITY, CHER |
Hello beauties,
I am so excited finally after almost 20-25 days I received
my parcel from GERARD cosmetics. I had ordered this New Hydra Matte liquid
lipstick. This lipsticks are so popular all over Instagram that I wanted them
so badly. I think almost every single makeup company have liquid matte lipstick range and so does GERARD COSMETICS have also introduced this range. Gerard cosmetic is known for their
lipsticks. Liquid lipsticks can be bit tricky to apply so you need to have
right formula and texture to make it more comfortable on lips. Lets talk about
this Hydra Matte Lipsticks packaging. They never use to have this box packaging so
packaging wise they have improved a lot this lipsticks come In matte frosted
glass tubes with gold metallic cap. They are similar to any other gloss tubes.
I have got three shades which are SERENITY, BALLET SLIPPER & CHER.
The hydra mattes are liquidy and they apply evenly on lips. This lipstick take some time to dry completely. Once it sets in it gives a
complete matte finish almost like a powdery matte finish. They don’t feel tacky on
lips the texture is smooth and feels feather light on lips. They are not drying
as most of liquid lipsticks tend to feel. Hydra
mattes are quite comfortable and I feel they have a very thin watery
consistency which helps in keeping it extremely light. This lipsticks are
transfer proof and they are quite long lasting. Even with meals in between it
lasted on my lips for whole day. Pigmentation is excellent. A shade like ballet
slipper was lacking that opacity and was not able to give me complete coverage
while serenity and CHER were completely opaque in just one swipe. You can build
the color but only after the first application gets dry. They do accentuate fine
lines on lips but thats common with almost every matte liquid lipsticks. They don’t budge or
smudge as they turn out to be completely matte. It doesn't stain and easily comes of with makeup
remover. It’s a waterproof lipstick so don’t try and remove with water. Do
exfoliate and moisturise your lips before application. It claims to give hydration to lips which seems to be not so true.
Overall recommended if you are looking for good matte liquid
lipsticks having really great formula and texture. I am not new to this brand I have been using GERARD cosmetics lipsticks for quite a time and they have good quality and shade range. This shades are quite different and unique from other brands. They
retail for 20$ each which may seem bit expensive but they do have
different discount codes and bundles with free shipping. I forgot about how
they smell ..it smells delicious almost feels like having some cupcakes. So girls if you really like something matte and liquidy you can try them on.
Serenity- It’s a warm nude shade having hint of pink and brown. This is one of my favorite among all other shades. It will go on fair to medium skin tones like a everyday color.
Ballet Slipper – It’s a perfect like some pink ballerinas. Its a elegant pink which can look gorgeous on every day basis. It doesn’t give even application like serenity though you can use you
fingers to spread evenly. Again this shade may go well on fair, tanned to dusky
skin tones.
Cher- CHER is 90's color Rosy brown shade. This is something I have never tried and I never had
such shade and I loved it. You can really experiment with this shade. It can work on many skin tones
