The Best & Worst of Cle de Peau Lipsticks

Christine — Sat, 19 Aug 2017 18:00:00 +0000

Cle de Peau Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a newly released formula that is available in 12 permanent shades, plus two limited edition hues. The formula is supposed to have “ultra-vibrant, luminous HD color and rich lasting moisture” that has a “silk, semi-matte finish lasting for 8 hours.” Under “Key Benefits,” they repeat that it has a “long-lasting finish for up to 8 hours” and “delivers lasting moisture for up to 4 hours” (I swear, that seems like it’s switched–it would really make more sense for it to last for four hours but keep lips hydrated for longer than the color itself lasted).

The consistency was lightweight, creamy with a more emollient feel as it applied that had a lightly tacky feel afterward. Color coverage varied from medium and buildable to mostly opaque with light to moderate shine. Some shades applied more smoothly across the lips and made my lips appear smoother and plumper but not all shades did so. The wear was four to six ours with some of the deeper, richer shades (like reds) wearing longer. I found the formula very hydrating and comfortable to wear. I did not notice any taste but they had a subtle, rosy scent.

Dragon Red

Cle de Peau Dragon Red Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a rich, medium red with neutral undertones and a smooth sheen. The consistency was lightweight, thin without being clingy, and comfortable to apply as it did not drag. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which applied evenly across the lips. The finish on this shade made my lips appear plumper and smoother without calling attention to my lip lines. It wore well for five hours and was hydrating to wear.

The formula is supposed to have “ultra-vibrant, luminous HD color and rich lasting moisture” that has a “silk, semi-matte finish lasting for 8 hours.” Under “Key Benefits,” they repeat that it has a “long-lasting finish for up to 8 hours” and “delivers lasting moisture for up to 4 hours” (I swear, that seems like it’s switched–it would really make more sense for it to last for four hours but keep lips hydrated for longer than the color itself lasted).

Red Lantern

Cle de Peau Red Lantern Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium-dark red with warm, orange undertones and a glossy sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which applied evenly on the lips, so it almost looked like a lip stain with the opacity level. The lipstick felt smooth, lightweight, and creamy without being too thick or too thin on the lips. I felt like the finish was very flattering to wear, as it made my lips appear smoother. It wore well for five hours and was nicely hydrating.

Lotus Flower

Cle de Peau Lotus Flower Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium coral with warm undertones and a luminous finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff with a smooth, lightweight texture that was creamy enough to glide on the lips but was not so slippery that it was a high-maintenance shade to wear. I felt like the formula made my lips appear slightly plumper and smoother, even though there was a touch of color in my deeper lip lines. This shade had fine shimmer, which wasn’t something most shades contained. It wore well for four and a half hours and was moisturizing over time.

Camellia

Cle de Peau Camellia Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium-dark, coral-orange with warm undertones and a soft sheen. There was a bit of gold pearl, but it was very minor and almost undetectable in person. The consistency was lightly creamy with some slip, but it seemed to turn a touch tacky after thirty seconds from the initial application, which helped the color adhere better overall. The color payoff was semi-opaque but did not build up much beyond that. It wore well for four and a half hours and was hydrating while worn.

Passion Flower

Cle de Peau Passion Flower Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and golden pearl. It had good pigmentation, though it was shy of full coverage, that covered the lips with smooth, even color. The texture was lightweight, creamy, and a touch slippery initially, but it became marginally tacky as it “set” no the lips. This shade lasted for five hours and was incredibly moisturizing to wear.

Bamboo

Cle de Peau Bamboo Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a subdued, medium pink with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a smooth, creamy consistency that felt emollient but had a light tackiness on the lips that helped to keep it in place while worn. The formula seemed to smooth out my lip texture for the most part, though there was a touch of color that had gathered into my deeper lip lines. It was incredibly hydrating over the four hours it lasted for (but I cannot imagine it ever lasting eight hours!).

Silk Scroll

Cle de Peau Silk Scroll Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium peach with warm, beige undertones and a luminous finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage, which did not apply evenly–I was surprised at how streaky the edges of this shade was on my lips and how even more color sat in my lip lines. This was one of the weakest shades in the range, though the formula was moisturizing on the lips, so it was at least comfortable to wear. The other downside was that it only lasted for three and a half hours on me.

Hummingbird

Cle de Peau Hummingbird Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a soft, medium coral with warm, orange undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which covered the lips fairly evenly, but the texture did not seem to sit well on my lips and appeared to emphasize imperfections. The consistency was lightweight, moderately slippery, and creamy so it glided on without tugging, but this shade moved around more than others in the formula. On me, it wore well for three and a half hours but was very moisturizing.

Chinoiserie

Cle de Peau Chinoiserie Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium pink with warm, yellow undertones and a natural sheen. It had good color payoff in a single layer, but it was not completely opaque on the lips. The lipstick had a smooth, creamyt exture that was lightweight with some slip, but it did not slide around as much on the lips as I thought it would, possibly as it had a bit of tackiness to it. The color went on very evenly across the lips and there was a touch of color in my deeper lip lines but all my lip lines still were softer and smoother. This shade lasted for four hours and was moisturizing over time.

China Doll

Cle de Peau China Doll Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a soft, medium plum with subtle, warm undertones and a creamy finish with a light sheen. The consistency was lightweight, smooth, creamy but had a light tackiness to it after a few seconds that helped it adhere better than I expected it would (by just how creamy it felt going on). It had nearly opaque pigmentation that covered the lips with even coverage and the texture of the lipstick camouflaged a lot of the texture of my lips but not all. It wore well for four and a half hours and was very hydrating.

Pillow Book

Cle de Peau Pillow Book Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a deep, reddened berry with subtle, cool undertones and a glossy finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that went on fairly evenly, but there was color that pulled into my lip lines and made them appear darker. I also felt like the pigment did not seem as well-mixed as other shades as there flecks of product that were darker on my lips (more noticeable to the eye in the swatch). The texture was moderately emollient but did not feather on me when I tested it. The lipstick wore well five hours and was nicely hydrating.

Red Carpet

Cle de Peau Red Carpet Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a vibrant, medium-dark pinky red with cool, blue undertones and a soft shine. It had good pigmentation, though it did not have full coverage and was not buildable to full coverage. The consistency was incredibly smooth, silky, and creamy without being heavy or thick–it looked almost like a gloss with just how smooth it made my lips appear. You can noticeably see the difference between the texture of my lips with this shade on and Water Lily (below), which goes to show just how effective the formula can be. It wore well for five and a half hours,, left a slight stain behind, and was moisturizing.

The formula is supposed to have “ultra-vibrant, luminous HD color and rich lasting moisturie” that has a “silk, semi-matte finish lasting for 8 hours.” Under “Key Benefits,” they repeat that it has a “long-lasting finish for up to 8 hours” and “delivers lasting moisture for up to 4 hours” (I swear, that seems like it’s switched–it would really make more sense for it to last for four hours but keep lips hydrated for longer than the color itself lasted). The consistency was lightweight, creamy with a more emollient feel as it applied that had a lightly tacky feel afterward. Color coverage varied from medium and buildable to mostly opaque with light to moderate shine. Some shades applied more smoothly across the lips and made my lips appear smoother and plumper but not all shades did so. The wear was four to six ours with some of the deeper, richer shades (like reds) wearing longer. I found the formula very hydrating and comfortable to wear. I did not notice any taste but they had a subtle, rosy scent.

Water Lily

Cle de Peau Water Lily Lipstick ($65.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and a luminous finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a soft, creamy consistency that was lightweight and comfortable to apply and to wear. The color applied evenly, but I noticed some of it gathered in my deeper lip lines, though it did not worsen as I wore the lipstick. On me, it stayed on well for four and a half hours and was very moisturizing.

Cle de Peau #237, 238, 239 Enriched Lip Luminizers Reviews, Photos, Swatches

Christine — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 12:00:00 +0000

Golden Coral (237)

Cle de Peau Golden Coral (237) Enriched Lip Luminizer ($35.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium coral with warm undertones and fine, gold pearl. It had semi-sheer, buildable pigmentation (up to semi-opaque) with a creamy, smooth, and moderately emollient consistency. It applied evenly but had slight color that settled into some of my lip lines, though the glossier finish made that less apparent at a normal viewing distance. The color wore well for three hours and was moisturizing.

The Enriched Lip Luminizer formula is supposed to have “sheer color” with a “soft and silky formula that melts onto lips” that is “long-lasting” and hydrating. It’s a been a long-time favorite for luminous, hydrating, and comfortable lip colors. I feel like they make my lips look pillowy–soft, slightly plumper. The coverage ranges from semi-sheer to semi-opaque, while the texture is very balmy, creamy, and emollient. The wear varies from three to five hours, depending on the intensity of the shade. I find the formula very hydrating while worn but also after the color has worn away.

P.S. — Cle de Peau sells the Enriched Lip Luminizer as a Refill only for $35, and the case retails for $25.

Dusk (238)

Cle de Peau Dusk (238) Enriched Lip Luminizer ($35.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a soft, medium pink with warm undertones and fine, barely-there gold pearl. It had semi-sheer color payoff that was buildable to medium coverage. The consistency was smooth, creamy, and balm-like as it had some substance to it but did not feel heavy. It applied evenly and smoothly across the lips, but there was a bit of color that sunk into my lip lines on my lower lip. This shade wore well for three hours and was incredibly hydrating.

Cle de Peau Raspberry Snapple (239) Enriched Lip Luminizer ($35.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a soft, medium-dark coral-red with warmer undertones and a smattering of gold pearl. It had sheer to semi-sheer pigmentation that applied smoothly across the lips. The lipstick was creamy without being too thick or too thin, and it glided across the lips and yielded even coverage. There was very slight color that pulled into my deeper lip lines, but it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance due to the shine. I also felt like after a half hour or so, my lip lines weren’t quite as noticeable for the next two hours. This shade wore well for three and a half hours and was moisturizing.
