Makeup Geek VIP Foiled Lip Gloss ($15.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a dark peach with warm undertones and fine gold pearl. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which distributed fairly evenly, though this shade settled more noticeably into lip lines compared to other shades (it was also the lightest shade in the range). The consistency was smooth, spreadable, and comfortable to wear. It wore well for five hours on me and felt lightly moisturizing.

The Foiled Lip Gloss formula is supposed to wear for “six hours” with buildable coverage (“single swipe for … translucent pop of color” or “multiple layers for … opaque color”). The texture was thicker but not goopy or heavy with a moderate tackiness. They lasted from five to seven hours on me, and they were comfortable to wear and were just barely hydrating overall. The pigmentation ranged from medium to semi-opaque in one pass, and then the glosses were buildable to mostly opaque to opaque.

Makeup Geek Headliner Foiled Lip Gloss ($15.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a rich, deep bronze with warm, copper undertones and gold, red, and copper pearl. It had mostly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which will work for someone who likes more pigmented glosses, but it was hard to get a “translucent pop of color” with this shade. The texture was smooth, moderately tacky, and thick enough that held on and covered well but was not goopy. The color wore well for six hours on me and felt lightly hydrating.

Set List

Makeup Geek Set List Foiled Lip Gloss ($15.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is a rich, medium-dark plum with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had good color payoff that applied evenly across the lips. The gloss felt thick but not goopy, had moderate tackiness, and spread evenly across the lips. There was a smidgen of gloss that sat in my deepest lip line but wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance due to high-shine finish. On me, the gloss wore well for six hours and seemed slightly moisturizing.
