Generation G

FINALLY the perfect lip stain & color! This review is for the color “Like.” I’m a light spring (lightest cool skin/eyes, warm hair), for reference. Since I started wearing makeup (much younger than most, since I’m translucent without it), I’ve been searching for the lip tint that I see in period films. You know, the one that’s supposed to look as if you’re not wearing any makeup. Lip tints …Read more

My all-time favorite lipstick. It is perfect; exactly what I've always wanted. It looks great on my lips and it lasts. It enhances my appearance but doesn't scream "makeup!" So so so so so so good. What I've always wanted! Zip is a fun, classic red, and it looks classy. I also have Cake and Jam, and I adore them. I weat these alone, topped with Glossier Red Gloss …Read more

I LOVE the idea of a sheer, blotted lip look, so I was very excited to try these lipsticks. I have the shades Crush and Jam. While I do really like the shades, and they're fairly long lasting, they tend to dry out the lips and accentuate any cracks. I also have some issues with the lipstick tube, as sometimes I twist it down but the lipstick stays up and I have to push it in with my fingers …Read more

I am in love with this lipstick. I have 3 shades, Cake, which is my favorite, and probably my favorite lipstick overall right now! (I have A LOT of them too)... it's a warm peachy color and it looks phenomenal when I'm going for a more un done look, which is quite alot. The formula is awesome, looks blotted no matter how much i apply, is matte but not full and cakey, more sheer …Read more

Got the colour 'like' and really like it! Goes well for a natural look, I read a lot of reviews before purchasing and people are really on the fence for this item but I took a chance and it paid off. I'm not crazy into lipsticks and I feel like this is a nice easy introduction that doesn't go all over my teeth!

I won’t go into much description of Generation G as other reviews have done so better than I other could. I have the new tube with the silver inside lining, so there are no problems with it coming out of the tube. The lipstick itself it hard and waxy. The color is sheer and matte, but more color can be built up with multiple layers. The product is not drying on the lips, but it does not provide …Read more

I love sheers, I love mattes and I love reds, so of course I had to try this in Zip -- and I was disappointed. I like the look, but the effect is the same that you could get from lightly dabbing on any matte lipstick, and there is a distinct odor of Play Doh which is frankly embarrassing at this price point. (And yes, I have the new version with the silver inner tube that was supposed to have …Read more

Bought this is the shade Cake. I love how it’s an apricot brown without absolutely any pink in my. These are really sheer but can be built up quite a bit so it’s a nice versatile product, they are a bit drying which I why I won’t give it 5 lippies but overall I do enjoy how it looks on me and doesn’t settle in my lip lines or feather out.

My rating is actually 3.5 lippies.

I purchased Cake and Zip after the recent reformulation and repackaging. I do not have any of the older Generation G’s to compare. For your reference I have had dry lips practically my whole life and they’re only presentable with a dedicated exfoliation and moisturization routine.

I wasn’t sure what I was expecting from these, but I’m not …Read more

This purchase was so disappointing that it actually makes me slightly angry. I bought Generation G in the shade "Like," and the color very nearly is my lips but better -- that's where its good qualities begin and end, unfortunately. It drags on the lips and is horribly drying, and while I understand it's supposed to be sheer you really have to work to get any sort of color …Read more
