Makeup Geek Rare, Offbeat, Naive, Gullible Iconic Lipsticks

Rare

Makeup Geek Rare Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium taupe brown with warmer undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was smooth, velvety and was comfortable to apply, as it glided across the lips with ease. It had good color coverage that went on evenly, but it felt a little clingy after an hour of wear. I felt like the texture had a tendency to emphasize my lip lines, and it sunk into them over time. This shade lasted for four and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating.

Offbeat

Makeup Geek Offbeat Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark taupe brown with subtle, warm undertones and a glossy finish. It had rich color payoff that yielded opaque coverage that went on evenly. The texture was moderately emollient with noticeable slip and had a more balm-like feel on the lips. Some of the color pulled into lip lines, but due to the actual shade, it did not seem as noticeable as it would have been with a lighter color. This shade wore well for four and a half hours and was hydrating.

Naive

Makeup Geek Naive Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium peach with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color payoff that applied decently but could have went on more evenly, as there were some visible streaks and a bit of color sat in my lip lines. The texture was lightly creamy, emollient and comfortable to apply and to wear. It wore for three and a half hours and was moisturizing while worn.

Gullible

Makeup Geek Gullible Iconic Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a deep peach with strong pink tones and a matte finish. The consistency was creamy, velvet, and smooth with a heavier look and feel compared to the majority of the shade range, but it did not feel overly heavy to me. It had rich, opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to my lips. The color lasted for five hours and left a stain behind (which was unusual, given the color). The formula seemed a bit drying after four hours of wear.
