Hourglass Peacemaker, Idealist, Futurist GIRL Lip Stylos

Peacemaker

Hourglass Peacemaker GIRL Lip Stylo ($32.00 for 0.09 oz.) is a muted, medium pinky brown with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable coverage that covered the lips with smooth, even color. The consistency was lightweight, emollient without being too thick or slippery on the lips. This shade wore well for three and a half hours and was hydrating over time.

The GIRL Lip Stylo formula is supposed to have “modern color with luxurious hydration for a lustrous finish,” while the brand founder is quoted (on Sephora) stating, “I can build as much–or as little–color as I like.” I would describe the coverage semi-opaque and buildable, which seemed to fit the brand’s description. The consistency was smooth, creamy, and lightweight, but the color still adhered well to the lips (three to five hours, depending on the shade). I definitely felt like I could apply a little here, a little there, and then spread the color out by pressing my lips together for sheerer coverage, or I could apply a single layer and get semi-opaque coverage fairly easily. The formula was incredibly comfortable to wear: lightweight, hydrating, and smoothing. Some balm-like formulas that have more coverage can sit in lip lines, but I felt like these filled them and made them look softer. I didn’t notice any scent or taste.

Idealist

Hourglass Idealist GIRL Lip Stylo ($32.00 for 0.09 oz.) is a medium, peachy brown with warm undertones and a soft, glossy sheen. It had medium, buildable coverage that applied fairly evenly. There was a little bit of streaking with this shade, which may have been due to the more slippery consistency. There was some color that settled into my lip lines noticeably after two hours of wear. On me, the lipstick lasted for three hours before needing a touch-up, though the formula was comfortable and moisturizing to wear.

Futurist

Hourglass Futurist GIRL Lip Stylo ($32.00 for 0.09 oz.) is a soft, rosy brown with warm undertones and a lightly glossy finish. It had medium coverage, which was buildable to semi-opaque but not to full coverage (the majority of this range has been buildable to full coverage). The texture was creamy, moderately emollient with noticeable slip, and comfortable to apply and to wear. I noticed some color pulled into my lip lines, and the color did not seem to go on as evenly as other shades. I don’t think it’s something one would see from a normal viewing distance, but compared to a lot of the other shades in the range, it just wasn’t as impressive. It wore well for three hours and was hydrating.
