Product Review:
1995 is a signature lipstick in the Gerard Cosmetics lineup
thanks to Jaclyn Hill. If you’re a makeup junkie you most likely follow social
media outlets and have seen Gerard Cosmetics on a face here and there,
especially lips. Their lipsticks caught my eye for many reasons but first and
foremost are the colors. 1995 is a creamy matte neutral tone with a hint of
brown “inspired” by the 90s grunge runways and teenage angst. This color is
perfect for any throwback look or use for modern twist. I have had no issues
with this lipstick staining or drying out my lips. The color last almost all
day but touchups are easy as the color glides on with the lightest touch. I
have found 1995 to pair great with MAC’s Soar lip liner.
Buttercup is another Jaclyn Hill Collection color offered by
Gerard Cosmetics. Having a creamcicle scent adds to this wonderful nude pink
color. Unfortunately this color was a spot on match to my natural lip color, so
applying it made no difference. However, my friend who is more medium skin
toned with more rose colored lips tried it on and it gave her that instant POP
she was looking for.
Sure wish Gerard would expand enough to partner with a
retailer where I could test colors before buying, just so there are no repeats
of my Buttercup experience. But it looks like 1995 will be on my shelf for as
long as I can get it.
