Flaming Red (823)

Guerlain Flaming Red (823) Rouge G de Guerlain Lip Color ($58.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a smattering of gold micro-glitter. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer. The texture was lightweight, emollient and slightly creamy without feeling too wet or too slippery on the lips with just a bit of texture from the micro-glitter in the bullet itself. The lipstick sat well on the lips and smoothed out a lot of my lip lines. It wore well for five and a half hours and was nicely hydrating over time.

Formula Overview

$58.00/0.12 oz. - $483.33 Per Ounce

The Rouge G formula is supposed to be hydrating with a luminous finish. Long-time readers will know it has been a favorite of mine forever! The part that I find is more unique to Rouge Gs is the finish; there’s a fine pearl that gives it a glossier, shinier sheen that isn’t too slippery. The formula is typically comfortable to wear, nicely hydrating, and lasts four to six hours. It has a floral scent but no discernible taste.

Glamorous Cherry (822)

Guerlain Glamorous Cherry (822) Rouge G de Guerlain Lip Color ($58.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a vibrant, medium pinky red with cool, blue undertones and barely-there gold sparkle. The pigmentation was almost full coverage in a single stroke, but there was a smidgen of translucency throughout the shade. The color went on evenly, though, and the finish seemed to have a higher shine than most Rouge Gs. It had a creamy texture that was thicker compared to Flaming Red but not actually heavy or slippery on the lips. It wore well for five hours and left a slight stain behind.
