Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lipsticks - Bareminerals

The Gen Nude Matte Liquid Lipsticks retail for $18 at Ulta, Bareminerals and Sephora (they will be linked down below as always). These liquid lipsticks feel amazing when you put them on, however as time goes on they will feather and fade in the worst possible way.


The Logistics:

They come in 20 shades, and I have the shades in Juju and Infamous. The entire line is based on the nudes hence its name. Each tube has 0.13 oz of product: compared to NYX Lip Lingerie** which has 0.13 fl oz, or Anastasia Liquid Lipsticks which has 0.11 fl oz of product. The applicator is entirely flat. It is like a doe foot applicator except there is no sharp point to it. This delivers pro's and con's: it is really easy to apply however to get a precise line I would recommend going in with a lip liner. The packaging of the lipsticks looks very chic and elegant.


It's Claims (from Ulta's website):





  • Full coverage
  • Long-wearing formula
  • Moisturizing, cream-to-matte finish
  • Lightweight, no-tack texture
  • Formulated without parabens, sulfates or phthalates
  • Gluten-free and not tested on animals
  • Formulated without petrolatum


  • My Thoughts: 


               The lipsticks are very full coverage, have a moisturizing cream-to-matte finish and are lightweight with a no-tack texture. However I would argue against long-wearing formula. The formula likes to cling to every part of dry dead skin. So if you are like me and have dry lips they crack or have flacks the color will grab at those parts. Also the lipstick really sinks into fine lines. It doesn't give that even color throughout the lips. The lipstick looks wonderful when you first apply it, however within an hour it will start to sink into lines and cling onto skin. The formula is also not smear proof. Unlike the Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid lipsticks they are not kiss proof, if you drink water, eat food it will come off. However reapplying is not a pain and does go one beautifully.

             Overall I do not recommend this product nor will I be purchasing more. On the plus side they do smell like vanilla.
