I bought my first Rouge Automatique the other day in Vega. Loving it so far! I am fast developing a Guerlain lipstick obsession. Dangerous.

Yes, it's a very dangerous slope... Their formulas are so lovely, but so pricey...

Indeed. Unfortunately I think I mildly prefer the Rouge G formula, which is rather inconvenient given the Rouge G's are more expensive!

I have that problem. I just picked up a Rouge G yesterday, despite the fact that I found a NARS lipstick that was quite similar (and $20 less). They are really exquisite. The advantage of the Rouge Automatiques (aside from price) is that their colour range is a little more exciting, where as the Rouge G line tends to be more classic/ conservative.

this is VERY heavy swatch, applied with a sponge


And perles de nuit, also applied with a sponge

^^ Thanks for the great pics! The powder looks so smooth and fine. Which do you prefer and is Perles de nuit very shimmery?

 

[Monsy]

For just a regular setting powder Rose teint, for some nice glow Perles de nuit - not too shimmery.

Oh, Monsy - I'm so glad you got them and love them! I ordered the Beige today from Sephora (with F&F discount). Your pics are beautiful!

 

[Monsy]

let us know how do you like beige ones! i have feeling i will end up buying those too

i wore teint rose today just over tinder moisturizer and it looked really good.

I have the beige but I always run around and use the white ones .. lol.

I love a pale face with a touch of blush..

I love those pics Monsy! I am cool toned -- but I have a lot of pink/redness that I have to cover with concealer to even out. I wonder if the Rose ones would bring out too much pink? I am trying to decide between the Rose or the Beige . . . I have my Sephora code to use before 11/2.

rose has green pearls in it. those would help reduce redness.

Harmony 01 / Teint Rose corrects by using mauve to reflect light and brightening the complexion along with green to reduce redness; pink to give skin a more even look; and white for illumination, gold for “radiance.”


Harmony 01 – Teint rosé
Corrective Effect: mauve reflects light, brightening up the shadowy areas and green diminishes redness.
Unifying Effect: pink evens out the complexion and champagne accentuates this action by reflecting light.
Light-Enhancing Effect: white, a touch of light par excellence, illuminates the complexion without ever making the skin appear pale and gold adds additional radiance.

Allowed and encouraged! Thanks for pointing this out. So very feminine looking... I love the shadows (the quad and the new 6-coleurs palette) and I'd love to see that new Rouge G in action...

i love the highlighter

 

[Miss QQ]

The 6 colour palette looks gorgeous, though dupeable. Yup, the highlighter is beautiful!

 

[Bonitinha]

Oh my word -- the highlighter and lippie looks gorgeous. Keep us posted if you find out any release dates!
