Gucci Vantine Fuchsia & Emmy Petal Brilliant Glow Care Lipsticks Review & Swatches

Gucci Beauty Vantine Fuchsia (402) Brilliant Glow Care Lipstick

Vantine Fuchsia (402)

Gucci Beauty Vantine Fuchsia (402) Brilliant Glow Care Lipstick ($42.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a brighter, medium fuchsia pink with strong, cool blue undertones and a glossy finish. It had semi-sheer color coverage, as marketed, that applied evenly across my lips and didn’t emphasize lip texture or settle into my lip lines.

The consistency was lightly creamy, smooth, and more gel-like than balm-like, which gave it good glide but prevented it from being overly slippery on. It wore well for three hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.

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.

Gucci Beauty Emmy Petal (411) Brilliant Glow Care Lipstick

Emmy Petal (411)

Gucci Beauty Emmy Petal (411) Brilliant Glow Care Lipstick ($42.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy coral with warm, more orange undertones and a glossy, cream finish. It had more medium color coverage than sheer, which could be built up to semi-opaque coverage with a second layer.

The texture was lightweight, creamy, and more emollient than most shades, so there was a touch of product that settled into my lip lines, though it wasn’t enough to be noticeable from a normal viewing distance. It stayed on well for three hours and felt moisturizing while worn.

As I am sitting here in front of my heater and my teeth are chattering, I am not ready for such “spring/summer” colors yet. They both look nice although Empty Petal is not a color I would ever wear, I would definitely like Vantine Fuschia but at $42 I am pretty sure I can dupe it in my collection. I would rather get the Chanel.
