Clarins Rosewood Rouge Prodige Lipstick
Going Beyond Nude with Rosewood
Clarins Rosewood Rouge Prodige Lipstick ($24.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a rosy nude with a glistening shine. This is my kind of nude–it doesn’t wash you out or make you look like a corpse. It’s soft and muted, the way a good nude should be, but it still brightens up the face. This is the kind of shade that works well for everyday or paired with a heavier eye/cheek look. I find it more neutral-cool, which makes it a very wearable shade.
It does have that shiny, glossy finish the description boasts, and it doesn’t feel like the traditional long-wearing lipstick does. There is nothing drying about it when you apply it, because it applies like a thin gloss or a gloss/lipstick hybrid. The color pay off is excellent, though, and really delivers opaque color with a lightweight feel. It doesn’t transfer much when drinking from a glass, but for whatever reason, it just doesn’t extend past four hours.
The Rouge Prodige is a comfortable lipstick to wear, because it doesn’t cling or dry lips out (but while it has a glossy feel when applied, I do not find it moisturizing). There is a faint sweetened berry scent that is detectable but not overpowering (and doesn’t read synthetic or syrupy sweet), and there was no noticeable taste.

RECOMMENDATION: I always welcome a new line with opaque lip color (because it’s easier to sheer out an opaque color than it is to build up the color of a sheer shade!), and Rouge Prodige is a nice lipstick overall–it just falls short of its long-wearing claims for me. If it didn’t have that claim, I would have given it a higher score.

Love how it's a hybrid! And this is also my kind of nude!
what a nice my-lips-but-better shade.
Love it!
Ooooo! Thats a pretty nude! Will you be reviewing Clarins Barocco (#130) Rouge Prodige by any chance, Christine?
I'm not sure if I have that - sorry!
I love this colour!
It's so nice! It's seems more coraly peach than pink, is that coming from my screen or is it like that in real?
Nah, it's definitely pink!
Aw man, I was seeing coraly peach, too! Either way, it looks amazing on you Christine :)
Now that's a nice Nudish colour .... half way natural looking for one thing.
How does this compare to Mac Cosmo? :)
Cosmo is a lil' deeper and pinker :) They are similar!
Is there a MAC dupe for this color wise? I just wonder, because I am interested in it, but don't want it if I have a similar color. Is it anything like MAC Hug me, Bare slimshine, etc?
Cosmo would be the closest.
why does it seems more coral then pink? Beautiful shade!
Does look a bit like Crystal Baby Lipstick by Estee Lauder to me...very pretty
What's a mac dupe for this? <3
Cosmo would be the closest, but it's a bit darker and pinker.
Ooh, it is a gorgeous nude lipstick! While it's not too pricey, I wish there were cheaper dupes...
That is beautiful! Absolutely perfect for everyday wear! It looks lovely on you :) Well, everything does.
Asolutely beautiful nude/pink! The price kills me though, I'm cheap lol
Its like your MLBB!!!
I love this colour! I don't own it but it looks very similar to a cheap lipstick I have which happens to be my favourite colour. :)
