“What I want is the lipstick that endures from the party to the after-party without getting sloppy and throwing up in a plant. Surprisingly (or maybe not?), that’s what Alessandro Michele has created”
Photo: Gucci A few weeks ago, Gucci birthed 58 new lipsticks. Both mother and children are doing well, despite a little internet flare-up. The first beauty collection from designer Alessandro Michele, the lipsticks come in many, many shades ranging from nudes to reds to black, in sheer, satin, and balm finishes, all with a slight violet scent. Several Cut staffers uncapped and recapped multiple tubes to find their favorite shades. Here’s what they thought.
After uncapping at least a dozen of their 58 tubes, I finally found my category: The nudes. I selected a shade I think is called Carol Beige , a taupey nude that has maybe the tiniest bit of greige in it. It applies super smoothly and feels satiny and moisturizing on my lips, and the color stayed on pretty well. One thing I’m not into is the violet fragrance, which I think is too powdery and grandmother-y. But, from what we know of Alessandro Michele, that part was probably ironic.
Devon Sherer, senior producer I didn’t fall in love with this. I picked the sheer lipstick, and its texture is a lot like lip gloss. It stayed pretty sticky for several hours. I did notice that after a couple of hours the color seemed to outline my lips, leaving the middle part not as well covered. Reapplication was easy though, since the formula is so smooth.
