The Gucci Beauty Thread

[sister13]

I was surprised to realize that we didn’t yet have a thread for Gucci Beauty. (As always, someone correct me if I’m wrong!)

This brand has slowly but surely been creeping into my radar. And each product has pleasantly exceeded my expectations for performance by a lot! 

I think my first item was the Gucci Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer , followed by the Gucci Stylo Définition l'Obscur Eyeliner black . While the Gucci Beauty products are definitely on the pricier side, the packaging is always impeccable, and I have not been disappointed with a single thing

The eyeliner and the Gucci Gucci Crayon Définition Sourcils Eyebrow Pencil really LAST! My hooded eyes wreak havoc on eyeliners, but this one has a crisp point and clean lines that stay in place. The eyebrow pencil is not too soft and it really stays all day. It has quickly become my go-to brow product. The Gucci Matte Beauty Powder 02 Medium Fair # gives a lovely skin like finish, and the Gucci Luminous Matte Beauty Blush 01 Silky Rose  is pigmented and blends beautifully! 

I’ve been testing the new Gucci foundation Gucci 24 Hour Full Coverage Luminous Matte Finish Foundation 270N)  and am having trouble finding a color, but wow, does that foundation stay on! I will post my experience soon below, but swatches stayed on my arm for well more than 24 hours under my sleeve. Crazy staying power. I don’t actually have any lipsticks yet, but planning to remedy that before the end of the sale. I have tried a deluxe of the mascara and loved that as well! 

Additionally, I do have a few Gucci perfumes, including the Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum  which was gifted by Sephora in the 2021 Holiday Gratis, and I purchased the Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine Eau de Parfum 1.6 oz / 50 mL . The Memoire d’une Odeur is gentle and fresh. The Gucci Guilty is a throwback from my early fragrance collection, but still sexy and bold.

Please join me in posting your thoughts, faves, new releases, and any beautiful product shots here, Gucci fans!

How do these satin lipsticks clean off? Do they stain the lips?

[Titian06]

@Girly2Shoes @sister13 - This will sound funny, but I've never paid attention!  I use the Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm to remove my makeup, including my lipstick.  So even if it stains, the Farmacy removes it with no problem.

[Girly2Shoes]

@No, my dear @Titian06 it doesn't sound funny. Ladies don't have to worry about a trace of makeup left behind, but as a guy living in a community that doesn't approve of guys wearing makeup and dressing up, I fear the wrath of my wife noticing a reminant of colour on my lips.

[Titian06]

@Girly2Shoes - What type of removal do you use?  Is it the removal method so you can try more products or are you wanting to ensure the lip product does not leave a trace (no staining products).  Balms or lip oils, which are popular right now, may be the way to go for no staining and they'll keep your lips moisturized.

Occasionally the Farmacy Balm is in the Rewards Bazaar so you can try a decent size sample to see how you like it.  Another makeup remover that I like for lipstick is Lancôme Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover 6.7 oz/ 200 mL .  It works great on eye makeup as the name says, but I also use it on lipstick and when I need to swatch my collection to find the right color.

I'm sorry you're unable to be you around your loved ones and friends!  You have our love and support here in the Community! 😘

@sister13  Lovely photos! 

Unsurprisingly, all but one of my Gucci Beauty items are lip products. I remember taking a group photo of my Gucci bullets for another thread: 

The black + star cases are Rouge A Levres Gothique metallic lipsticks.

My other lip items are Gucci Transfer-Proof Matte Liquid Lipstick 311 Lizzie Tigerand Gucci Long Lasting Bold Lip Liner Miel. My one non-lip item is the Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia Eau de Parfum generously gifted by Sephora. 

This thread reminds me to pick up a shade or 2 of Gucci Glossy Nail Polish via Nordy Notes. I'd try a blush but only one shade would probably work at all on my skin tone, and I already have plenty of very similar looking powder blushes. I might have a DS of Gucci L'Obscur Lengthening Mascara 1 Eve Black somewhere... gotta look for that later.

@Greetings, @WinglessOne how are the Gucci lipsticks for coming off the lips 💋? Do they stain the lips at all?

[WinglessOne]

Hi @Girly2Shoes ! The only Gucci lipstick that's left a stain (after I wiped lipstick off my lips) is the dark teal matte bullet, Gucci Velvet Matte Lipstick 704 Valentine Verdante . And it's not a super stubborn stain, unlike MUFE's old dark teal lipstick (which I still love) that makes me look asphyxiated post-wipeoff. 😄 

Assuming you're not after a teal lipstick: I don't think Gucci's red bullets will leave a stubborn stain behind. Maybe consider one of their "sheer" bullets to try, like Gucci Sheer Lipstick 25* Goldie Red . I have shade Marina Scarlet, an orangey tomato red that's quite pigmented on my lips but wipes away completely. That shade was a limited edition Lunar New Year release that's not available anymore, but I assume the shade Goldie Red in this lipstick line performs the same way. I also have shade Love Before Breakfast, a beautiful fuchsia that's also nicely pigmented but non-staining. That might be a discontinued sheer shade. 

Also consider one of Gucci's satin bullets (Gucci Long Lasting Satin Lipstick). None of mine stubbornly stain my lips after I wipe it away, not even the black one. 

Oh, and Sephora doesn't carry all available shades of Gucci lipsticks. Check Gucci's site for their current shade lineup (they occasionally discontinue shades). 

[Saradestin]

WOOOOOOW @WinglessOne ! That Gucci bullet lipstick collection is absolutely gorgeous! The packaging is to die for! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[sister13]

Wow! These are all so incredibly beautiful all together! It is sealed, I must pick up one or two today! I have always been tempted by the swatches I see on here but somehow never pulled the trigger. So beautiful! And I would love to know if you like the mascara! @WinglessOne 

[WinglessOne]

@sister13  I wish the metallic lipsticks were still available. They came in some fun shades! But yeah, I definitely recommend the satin and matte bullets. The 2 floral capped bullets are Gucci Sheer Lipstick and I still laugh at the "sheer" part because, on my lips anyway, these are quite pigmented. I still don't have a Gucci Hydrating Lip Balm which probably is sheer (hence the reason I don't own one)... I have to visit one of my local Sephora stores to pick up another sale order, so I might re-swatch a few of those balm shades and see if I can talk myself into one. For science! 

If I find that mascara sample, I'll tag you with feedback. 🙂 Let me know what you think of whichever lipsticks you get.
