Guerlain Forever Brown & Rouge Kiss KissKiss Lipsticks Reviews, Photos, Swatches Reviews Contains: Affiliate Links, Sample 8/08/14August 08, 2014 Guerlain Forever Brown (305) KissKiss LipstickI just wrapped up testing two more shades from Guerlain KissKiss Lipstick ($37.00 for 0.12 oz.), which has a staggering twenty-five shades to choose from. I haven’t spotted it at too many retailers yet, but Saks has it online now at least. You can check out my first review from earlier this week if you missed it. The KissKiss formula falls somewhere between Rouge Automatiques and Shine Automatiques; it has more of the slip and feel of the Shine (and also a glossier finish), but the color payoff is more in line with the Rouge. I don’t think they are comparable to Rouge Gs; they have a thinner, more emollient consistency and wear shorter (on average). They have a violet scent but no discernible taste.Forever Brown (305) is a medium-dark, plummy-brown with warm, red undertones and a very subtle, gold micro-shimmer (it looks glossy but not really shimmery). It had mostly opaque color coverage–there’s a very light translucency that gives the formula a lighter look on. The color wears four and a half hours, and it was lightly hydrating on me. Estee Lauder Decadent (150) (P, $30.00) is darker, cooler-toned. Bobbi Brown Plum Shimmer (3) (P, $25.00) is cooler-toned, less red, more shimmery. Maybelline Untainted Spice (950) (P, $7.49) is more muted, cooler-toned. MAC Rusty (LE, $20.00) is redder, brighter. Too Faced Sweet Maple (P, $22.00) is much lighter. Givenchy Brun Cachemire (104) (P, $36.00) is lighter. Chanel Farouche (122) (P, $34.00) is slightly darker, more matte. MAC Sheer Plum (P, $16.00) is sheerer. Chanel Imperial (DC, $32.00) is more plum, less brown. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Starling (P, $18.00) is darker, warmer. Make Up For Ever #20 (P, $19.00) is more matte. See comparison swatches / view dupes.Rouge Kiss (325) is a brightened, coral-red with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. This shade didn’t appear to have any shimmer, for those who prefer their lipsticks to be shimmer-free. It had mostly opaque color coverage that looked and felt lightweight and comfortable. It lasted for four and a half hours and was lightly hydrating. Guerlain Geneva (48) (P, $51.00) is more orange. MAC Toying Around (LE, $16.00) is lighter. Dior Sunset (660) (LE, $34.00) is more shimmery, lighter. Estee Lauder Defiant Coral (P, $30.00) Bite Beauty Crush (P, $28.00) is more matte, lighter. Givenchy Rose Dentelle (203) (P, $36.00) is more muted. Maybelline Shocking Coral (P, $7.49) is pinker. MAC Lady at Play (P, $22.00) is slightly more orange. MAC Hibiscus (LE, $16.00) is more shimmery. Guerlain Rouge Sensuel (LE, $51.00) is slightly redder.

Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I can see it working well for summer!
Ellie Tan, Neutral undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin. »Forever Brown looks beautiful! I love the red undertones, it makes the lipstick a bit different from all the other brown shades that I know of. 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Very true! It’s rusty but not too red or too brown.
Wednesday Light, Neutral undertones. Dry skin. »I’m really feeling these rusty brows for this fall. I think Forever brown could work, but eyeballing the Estee Lauder dupe because I like the formula and it has fuller coverage. I think these red browns are a great way for me to hit this warmer lip trend for Fall 2014 without treading into the more orange brown territory which is wickedly unflattering against my skintones.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I bet you’d prefer the Estee Lauder one, honestly!
Rashmi Medium, Yellow undertones. Combination skin. »I loved both the shades 🙂 it is so funny , whenever I see “A” and “A +” ratings i jump with joy and start browsing the retailer site 🙂 add stuff in cart and loves really want to try this new formula 🙂 from old lot i have just one and it does looks beautiful I’m digging both the shades !
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Are there any other shades in the range that you’re thinking about, Rashmi?
rashmiFrom promo pictures I really liked browns n orange …. and from this review m convinced forever brown 🙂 I am yet to try Estee Lauder envy sculpting … I see if Decadent is nice shade on my coloring 🙂 and I dont have a good brown lipstick , didnt purchased in ages I guess time is right to pick a nice brown 🙂
tzwiggy Light-Medium, Neutral undertones. Very Oily skin. »I love the finish, but these shades are definitely not for me.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I was just happy that not all of them were shimmery!
ShelleyThe second one is screaming out at me. That will pull me right into fall quite nicely. I asked my local Dillard counter and the mrg is waiting for her stock to arrive. They will have to reset the counter for it. Super excited. Something different as its been all about Chanel and Dior these past few months.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »How fun! Hope they arrive soon. Guerlain seems like a brand where it really trickles into retailers.
Sonya Light-Medium, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Normal skin. »Forever brown looks stunning for fall!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I totally agree, Sonya!
Diana Medium-Tan, Yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »These look really good on you! I was a little iffy about the first color when I saw it but it looks so good! I think I might go with the second one…it screams summer! And I’m on watermelon-coral-orange color binge
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Rouge Kiss is a great summer and summer-into-fall shade!
Carolyn Light-Medium, Yellow undertones. Oily skin. »These both look very pretty on you! I think Forever Brown would be a great color for fall.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks, Carolyn! Forever Brown is nicely balanced between red/brown!
fancie Deep Dark, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I actually like both of them! Forever Brown looks better than I thought it would
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It is prettier than it sounds!
Genevieve Fairest, Pink undertones. Dry skin. »LOVE these colours – they look fabulous on you Christine. I am going to go out and get that Forever Brown. It is gorgeous.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thank you, Genevieve!
XeroI think Rouge Kiss looks a lot like what Maybelline Coral Crush looks like on me. So it’s another possible dupe.
HeleneThey are both wearable and very pretty, I think. I prefere Rouge Kiss. I guess I don’t really want to think about fall just yet. I still don’t think I’ll buy anything from this line as I find them on the expensive side, and the weartime isn’t all that long.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I understand! I can’t believe we’re talking fall makeup already!
Sylirael Light-Medium, Pink undertones. Combination skin. »Rouge kiss is a gorgeous red-coral! It’s warmer than I’d probably wear, but I find myself really drawn to those colours! Maaaaaybe I might need to swatch this and see what it does on my skin, if this range ever turns up here… 😉
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Hope it shows up 😀
Ankita Medium, Neutral undertones. Combination skin. »Rouge Kiss is GORGEOUS!! I can’t wait for these to come to Sephora!
