Guerlain KissKiss Shaping Cream Lip Colour: Fall in Nude, Fall in Red – USD $37.00 each
Kiss Kiss is a creamy mango butter-based lipstick that hydrates lips and dresses them in medium coverage, satin effect colour. After use, lips look full, soft and absolutely alluring. Whether impeccable nude or a delicate pinky red, the two subtle autumnal shades Fall in Nude and Fall in Red are easily adaptable to any skin tone or occasion.
Fall in Nude is an impeccable nude shade. Fall in Red is a delicate pinky red which is also part of the Guerlain Autumn Collection.
Packaging – Starting my review by talking about the packaging- Guerlain did an excellent job in making the lipstick look luxurious, sleek black lacquer case with the perfect “click” and “KissKiss” imprint on the bullet. Lipstick tube is itself a work of art, elegance and beauty. The 3 cubes have elegant black curves for a classic look that matches every trend. This is one lipstick you’ll love pulling out of your handbag! More than a lipstick, It’s a symbol of femininity. Guerlain lipstick has a slight vanilla flavour to it.
Formula – Guerlain KissKiss Lipstick is enriched with hydrating mango butter which moisturises and plump lips.
Longevity – The formula didn’t dry out the lips, but it did settle into the lip creases slightly. I managed a total wear time of about 4 hours before noticing significant fading.

The finishes range from matte to satin or metallic and are enriched with light pigments, which reflect light to make the eyes seem more open and brighter.

Each Guerlain 5 Couleurs Eye Palette features 5 shades – one is a very light eyeshadow color that can be used as a base/brow bone highlight, two basic nude shades that can be applied as an over all lid color and two smoky shades. The last smoky color with the name ‘Guerlain’ imprinted is the darkest in each palette and can be used for creating smokey eye look and also to darken/intensify the outer corners of the eye lid or to smudge your lower lash line.
All of the shades are wearable and suits every skin type. The shades I received are Rose Barebare & L’Heure de Nuit. Rose Barebare is my favorite palette. In the makeup look I created at the end of this post. I have used shades from Rose Barebare Palette. Totally, loving it.
L’Heure de Nuit – Without a primer, I tried it. I had to apply multiple layers to get the desired pigmentation. Color payoff is better if a primer is used prior to applying the shades. You can apply the shades both wet and dry.
I like shade ‘ Rose Barebare’ more. It was more pigmented than the other shade. In multiple swipes, I got the desired color intensity. Shades from both palettes were easy to blend and I noticed no fallouts.
