Sweet Nude (139)

Guerlain Sweet Nude (139) Rouge G Luxurious Velvet Lipstick ($36.00 for 0.12 oz.)

  • Mostly opaque color payoff in one layer
  • Smooth, velvety, lightweight, thin but not clingy
  • Applied evenly but emphasized lip lines a bit
  • Short-wearing (3.5 hours; 16 hours claimed!), non-drying

Formula Overview

$36.00/0.12 oz. - $300.00 Per Ounce

The new finish is described as a "velvet matte" with "exceptional softness, color depth" and is "long-lasting" with "16-hour comfort and wear." The color coverage is supposed to be "highly pigmented" and will "glide on effortlessly."

The majority of the shades available were highly pigmented, as marketed, with even, smooth coverage that wasn't prone to emphasizing lip texture, lines, or imperfections. The texture was smooth, moderately dense but not thick, so they felt lightweight on (but not clingy). Most of the shades--at the time of review--are more mid-depth or deeper, but the lightest shades I tested were a little prone to settling into my lip lines over time.

The big "downside" is that they don't wear anywhere near 16 hours; that would be a tall ask for any lipstick formula, let alone a traditional, bullet formula like this one. They have longer wear than average with many shades achieving six hours of solid wear with slight stains left behind. The formula was comfortable to wear and lightly hydrating overall.

They hare a floral scent that was noticeable applied to the lips, and I had slight taste of floral perfume when eating/drinking.

Please note, Rouge Gs are now refillable, so the price reflects the cost of the lipstick itself but not the lipstick holder (which is $37.50 and available in different designs). I personally keep mine with the refill-only cap, which is suitable for being kept at home but would not be ideal for someone who keeps it in their bag or travels frequently.

Looking at the bullet I had thought that Warm Almond would be a bit darker but it is surprisingly lite. I was given a sample size of a Korean water tint in a shade similar to the one I thought this would be and wore it yesterday. I didn’t think I would like it as it was pretty warm toned. Not to say I never wear anything if it is warm toned but I do tend to gravitate to neutral or cool toned shades. I think the eye look I created with one of the Inglot shadows I purchased was warmer and the lipstick did compliment it nicely. I am not sure what is up with me but I am finally broadening my horizons! I guess it was bound to happen now that I am almost 70, LOL!!

Warm Almond is a more colourful lipsticks (I thought nude lipsticks like the first one have had their day), but the wear time fiasco is dragging the rating down. Anyway, this lipstick is too expensive when there are many others in this colour range that are even better quality and half the price.

Okay, so I won’t sent people into a tail-spin listing the actual price of these lippies (case purchase NOT INCLUDED) but for the outrageous price, I expect…no, DEMAND a much higher rating than C- or C+. When a Revlon lipstick that costs less than $10 can garner an A rating, there is no excuse for this at almost $50 CDN (but I didn’t type the actual price!)
