Guerlain Rouge G Lipsticks Reviews, Photos, & Swatches (Part 3)

Here are the currently available beiges/browns from the Guerlain Rouge G Lipstick ($51.00 for 0.12 oz.) range–a lot of their lighter beiges seem to be discontinued now. The Rouge G formula is a long-wearing, moisturizing lipstick with a moderately creamy consistency that glides on easily and leaves a lightly glossy, luminous finish behind. Most shades are mostly opaque to fully opaque, though a few are less pigmented. I find the formula to be consistent overall, but there are a few that I like less than others. I reviewed the majority the range four or five years ago, and of course, any newly released shades since, but I thought it was time for an update for the shades still available today. 🙂

>> You can find Rouge Gs at Sephora, Nordstrom, Saks, Neiman Marcus <<

Galiane is described as a “nude beige.” It’s a light, pink-tinted beige with a glossy finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage that went on fairly evenly. It stayed on well for five hours and was moisturizing over time. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Garance is described as a “muted rose.” It’s a light-medium, pink-beige with warm undertones and a luminous finish. There’s a very, very fine pearl shimmer to the color. It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and didn’t look streaky. It wore well for four and a half hours, and it was comfortable to wear as it was very hydrating. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Gracia is described as a “muted plum.” It’s a soft, warm-toned plum with subtle gold, pearly shimmer and a luminous finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage that went on evenly and lasted for four and a half hours. The formula was creamy, hydrating, and comfortable to wear. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Gaetane is described as a “deep brown.” It’s a medium-dark, orange-toned brown with warm undertones and a light, tangerine pearl. It had a luminous finish with opaque color payoff that applied evenly and smoothly. It wore well for six and a half hours, and the formula was comfortable and hydrating while worn.

All these rouge g swatches are so gorgeous just to look at! So far there’s not any one that makes me want to splurge for it though (it’s have to be one I’d feel comfortable wearing every/any day). I wish Galante wasn’t discontinued, I wanted to try it. 🙁

Ooh! I like Gracia best of these, bu Galiane is so gorgeous on you too! I want to love Garance, as the name has special significance to my thesis research, but I think it might be a hair too orange for me… What is it with people naming things perfectly for me, when those things are orange-related?!?! 😛 just like Buxom Rogue… 😉

Gracia is just my kind of “nude”. Deep enough that it doesn’t wash me out and has enough pink in it not to give me sepia-toned lips. So gorgeous!

It is! It looks like it might be similar to my HG Jordana Twist & Shine in Terra Crave or L’Oreal Carresse Stain in Lilac Ever After (also known as Lolita in Aussie).

Beauties.. Nars Femme Fleur is a dupe for Gaetane! 😀 Gina fits in with the three, too!!

Christine, are holiday products already honestly sold out or will more become available in November? My Sephora basket, prepped for 20%.. Has too many “not in stock”.. The Guerlain meteorites and rouge parade went in minutes! Aggggh!!!!! 🙁

I think Gracia is the one I would most likely splurge on, since it’s the one that would suit me the best as an everyday color. These are definitely something I would need to go into a department store to try on and check put first. Thank you for featuring what appears to be the perfect lipstick!! So many caught my eye. They really seem to cover a full spectrum of colors, maybe to have a “signature” color available for every person like fine perfumes?
