The Spring Season: Guerlain Gemma Lipstick

Guerlain Gemma Rouge G Lipstick (#64) ($45.00) is a sweet pop of posey pink. It has a delicate gold sheen and shimmer, but it’s one of my favorite pinks for the spring. It has enough brightness to pop when worn alone, but it can still be a nice way to complement a subtle spring eye, too. Creamy, opaque, and easy to apply, Rouge Gs are high on quality (and high on price, I know). They have Guerlain’s traditional scent to them, though it does seem a bit subdued in comparison to their KissKiss line of lipsticks and glosses. The wear time is four to six hours for me on these.

Is this the perfect pink for you? Would you wear it?

The Spring Season is a series of posts featuring my favorite soft beige, coral, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for the first blossom of spring — that runs through March 2010.

Christine,

Can you help us warm-toned ladies figure out how to wear cool toned lipsticks?

I can never seem to pull off cool tones! Does it require a warm blush/eye or cool blush/eye?

Thanks!

I think my problem is I try to make both my eyes and cheeks cool if my lips are cool… And it doesn’t work!

I’ll experiment some more! I want to be able to wear cool tones too!

I love this colour! I would totally venture out more into the lipstick world but I don’t really know what goes well with my skin tone. Can anyone help? I’m a fair skinned Chinese girl!

Christine, can you clarify which swatch is Georgia and which is Gemma? In your review of Georgia, the same swatch picture showing both lists the one on the right as Georgia. They’re both gorgeous, but I’d love to know the difference!
