Guerlain Gemma Le Rouge G de Guerlain Lipstick
Guerlain Gemma Le Rouge G de Guerlain Lipstick ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a dazzling confection of medium pink with a golden glimmer. It applies opaque in one to two layers, and it looks natural yet still more color pop than a my-lips-but-better (MLBB) shade. I’m really a big fan of how smoothly and evenly the Rouge Gs apply, and Gemma is no exception. I think this color is universally flattering, because it’s a nice, neutral medium pink. The gold shimmer adds a little oomph to the color, too. This is a shade you could wear year-round, so this is definitely going to make its way into my everyday lip color stash.
- Product: 28/30
- Value: 7/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 4/5
Recommendation: This is one of my favorite shades that I’ve seen from the Rouge G lineup — it’s a very pretty in pink shade with just the right amount of shimmer.
Availability: Nordstrom

Christine, this is such an old review so I don't if you will remember but, what is the swatch on the left in the photo? TIA! :)
I gave in and bought it because that's my name and I NEVER find stuff with my name on it. It's more hot pink on my skintone (oive/NC37).
Aww! Do you like it, though? Even if it's more hot pink?
Yes! I love it actually because of the case lol. The case is so amazing-makes it so special! When I run out of the lippie, I'm going to try and squish one of my brave new bronze lippies in there ;)
Aww, but that's good! :) I don't love the case really (I know, odd!), so I'm like, "$15 extra for a case I'm not loving?"
I am not afraid of spending money on makeup, and I buy a lot from higher-end brands...but $45 for a lipstick is absurd, even for me.
It's expensive, and it's mostly for the packaging (which is like... not my style, so I don't value it at $15 extra). The lipstick itself is fantastic, but I don't think you could say ANY lipstick is worth $45, lol.
Wow, I'd definitely pick this up if it weren't so expensive!
I wish these weren't so $$ too!
Another one of my faves, I heart Rouge G
Me too!
Too bloody expensive for my pocket..it's pretty though!!
LOL! They are pricey!
Gorgeous! The price tag is way outta my range, but I will definitely have to look for a shade dupe of this -- it's just perfect!
Good luck! Let us know if you find one!
this looks very pretty on you!! actually i think most of the lipsticks you swatch look really flattering on you, but this one's almost blended to your skintone without actually looking 'natural' if you know what i mean...
Thank you, Aradhana :)
Pretty! I love shades of pink like this.
Thanks, Amy!
This is so pretty - reminds me of LM's Rosewater stickgloss which I am hoping arrives in the mail to me today.
Ohh I will have to try that!
for a lighter pink shade, I kinda like this one. I personally think darker shades suit me better but I wouldn't be opposed to at least trying this one.
Have you had a chance to trying any of these out?
This is gorgeous! I may look into picking this up if I get a gift card. Kinda reminds me of MAC Bombshell or Angel.
Awesome :D
I definitely like the color. This medium pink as you said it's perfect to wear it every season. My only objection is the price:)
The price is forever steep! Let's all cross our fingers for refills/cheaper versions!
it reminds me of MAC "a rose romance" but with more color payoff. nice shade.
