Gucci Goldie Red & Louise Orange Brilliant Glow Care Lipsticks Review & Swatches
Goldie Red (25)
Gucci Beauty Goldie Red (25) Brilliant Glow Care Lipstick ($42.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium red with neutral-to-cool undertones and a glossy finish. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and moderately emollient but not too slippery, as it had a more gel-like feel that helped to soften and smooth out my lip lines. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that stayed on well for four hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview
$42.00/0.06 oz. - $700.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to live between "sheer and satin lipstick[s]" with "long-lasting" hydration with "shine" that wears for "four hours." They had a more gel-like consistency to me; denser and firm in the tube, but they glided on readily and had a glossy, wet-looking shine that was almost balm-like without being as slippery as a true balm consistency.
The pigmentation was sheer, as marketed, and most shades were somewhat buildable to more semi-sheer to medium coverage so those with more pigmented natural lip color may still find they show up enough. The colors applied evenly and smoothly across my lips with only a few shades settling into my lip lines noticeably.
They were comfortable to wear over the two to four hours they lasted for, and the formula felt hydrating over time. It is a heavily-scented floral formula that had a perfume-like taste to me when I wore them.

Louise Orange (307)
Gucci Beauty Louise Orange (307) Brilliant Glow Care Lipstick ($42.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a medium, caramel brown with warmer, more orange undertones and a glossy finish. It had sheer pigmentation in a single layer, which could be built up to semi-sheer coverage if desired. The texture was smooth, more gel-like, which gave it a denser feel in the tube that still glided on comfortably across my lips. It wore well for three hours and was hydrating over time.

Goldie Red is a stunner! Nicely pigmented and very glass-like shine. Of course, it went on my WL!
Louise Orange is my kind of shade, but more pigmented than this one.
