Guerlain Intense Liquid Matte Lipstick in MO6 - Charming Beige

Guerlain may have been a little late to the party with the whole liquid lipstick situation, but this is no bad thing - some clever bod at Guerlain has clearly been doing their homework. The Guerlain Intese Liquid Matte formula is a triumph. It contains hyaluronic acid to aid hydration, and is billed as being as "creamy as a gloss, but as intense as a lipstick". Now, if you're familiar with Guerlain, you'll know that their Rouge G's are some of the best lipsticks out there (and I am in LOVE with the KissKiss Matte formula) so I had high hopes for this release.


I would go as far as to say this is the liquid lipstick for people who don't do liquid lipsticks. The formula glides on beautifully, is easy to apply, and is super comfortable to wear. I don't experience any settling in lip lines or any tight, uncomfortable feeling as the day wears on. This is not a completely transfer-proof formula, neither is it absolutely chalk-matte - you'll need to head more in an Anastasia Beverly Hills direction if that's your jam. There is a miniscule amount of tackiness when worn, so bear that in mind if that's something you really hate. If you liked Lancôme's Matte Shakers, or Dior's liquid lipsticks, you will definitely like these babies.

I have the shade Charming Beige, which is a perfect true nude for medium skintones, and a lovely tawny colour on light skintones - perfect for the Autumn, and for those days where you want your eye makeup to do all the talking.

I love the formula so much that I went out and bought a rosy pink one a week later - and that's something I never do! I feel these Intense Liquid Mattes are not getting nearly enough hype.
