Round-up: Makeup Geek Iconic Lipsticks

Here’s a look at the Makeup Geek Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) shades I’ve reviewed. There were some winners, but there were some misses. Overall, the glossier shades were easier to wear than the more matte shades. The creamier shades were more comfortable, easier to apply, and looked better on the lips than some of the mattes. I think that while they are a more pigmented lipstick, a lot of them were semi-opaque to mostly opaque. I liked that some of the shades were more unique, and there seemed to be a decent mix of warm, cool, light and dark, but it was heavier on the mauve/plum family.

While I really love several shades of these, I have to take issue with the price vs. amount of product. I may not feel too uncomfortable paying $36 or 37 for the same amount of product contained in a TF L&B’s lipstick; but it’s Tom Ford for goodness sake! Not a brand whose original intention was to offer great products at a low end pricing. Only if one of the more original shades doesn’t have a close enough dupe will I buy one of these.
