bareMinerals Gen Nude Patent Lip Lacquer High Shine Liquid Lipstick | Review and Swatches

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

The Makeup Wars team is currently featuring our favorite fall collections or products, and I am rather surprised by the relative pragmatism of my choice. I had been testing numerous products, but rather organically observed my particular affinity for three of the new for fall bareMinerals Gen Nude Patent Lip Lacquer High Shine Liquid Lipstick that I had been testing. Truth be told, it really didn't occur to me that these affordable beauties would sweep me off of my feet, but they did. I started testing them, then soon I was reaching for them all of the time, and then finally two of the shades, Major and Bae, ended up living in my purse. The colors are perfect for fall, they are easy to wear, and they are really gorgeous.

bareMinerals Gen Nude Patent Lip Lacquer High Shine Liquid Lipstick is a high gloss liquid lipstick in a gorgeous array of mauves, pinks, peaches and beiges. They offer opaque coverage, a high shine finish, and they feel more like full-coverage lip glosses than traditional lipsticks. They are a bit tacky, less so than MAC Lip Glasses, but not so much so as to be uncomfortable. I should also note that the tackiness only occurs when they are first applied, and after they have been on the lips for a few minutes the tackiness subsides altogether. They are long-wearing, they glide across the lips effortlessly, deposit color evenly and the three colors that I have neither pool, nor settle into lip lines. They have enough cushion for comfortable wear, and they are moisturizing. The doe-foot applicator has a nice user-friendly shape that coats the lips in a single pass. I like the formula and shine a lot, and the colors are really beautiful and perfect for daily wear. They have a warm and creamy vanilla scent, but it does fade soon upon application.

  3. All three shades are so beautiful. Thank you for reminding me to find the one that I bought a few months ago. I loved the formula. I may need to add at least one of these new beauties for fall to my stash

  5. I have the Gen Nude blushes, but not the lippies. Good to see high-shine lacquers trending right now! Those neutral shades are so pretty.

    1. I don't have the Gen Nude blushes, but want to try them! I highly recommend trying one of these beauties! I am so happy that high-shine is trending, and in neutral shades. It's a nice change from all of the mattes!

    1. It's precisely my type of shade as well. It also mixes well with a touch of Werk, too!

  7. The whole Gen Nude lip collection from bareMinerals is a hit in my book. I just wish they had found better names for the shades...
