Gabriel Cosmetics Organic Lipstick (Primer)

Great for blush as well as shadow

I read the reviews here and other sites trying to figure out how to get this primer right; there aren't good instructions on the Gabriel site. I have never used lipstick regularly before and I wanted to learn how to get smudgeless deep color lips. It took me about 2 weeks of trial and error to get it right, and still not 100%. Use your finger to put a thin layer of primer on; a brush applies too much and not as evenly. Do not rub lips together, let it dry/set for about 3 minutes. Then apply a thin layer of lipstick and let it set. If you see primer on your lipstick, the primer was not set and may have been too heavy a layer, so wipe off and start over. After the first layer of lipstick is set, a few minutes, you can apply another thin layer of lipstick. The primer does help keep it set, but you still have to reapply after a meal.

I’ve never used a lip primer before due to severe cosmetic allergies. Decided to try this after so many issues with breakouts with lipsticks leaving my lips darker than normal. This smoothes things out bro Goli g out the real color of the lipstick. Don’t need much - just a finger and it goes on smoothly!

This product was horrible. Definitely not as it should have been. Do not buy

This primer makes a big difference in how long your lipstick will stay looking good. It helps your lipstick define the border of your lips nicely and stay on longer. I did not think it would make a difference but it does. Love it.

It helps my lips but after a bit of usage I feel I am better of just using hydration devices. I needs to set before I apply any other makeup in the are and then we are good to go

I bought this to use as a lipstick primer, and it does a nice job creating a smooth base before applying color. It helps even out my lips and gives lipstick something to grip onto, which seems to improve wear time throughout the day. The formula feels lightweight and comfortable rather than heavy or waxy. A little goes a long way, so the compact lasts quite a while. It also layers well under different lipstick formulas without changing the color. The packaging is simple and easy to toss in a makeup bag, and the product quality feels consistent with other Gabriel Cosmetics items I’ve tried. Overall, it’s a useful addition if you like a smoother lipstick application and want your lip color to look more even and polished.

Didn't help any of my lipsticks stay on any longer.

This is very pricy! But with skin isssues due to medication I’ve found this helps smooth the areas above and around my lips. Good coverage applied under concealer or foundation is a finished clean look. Lasts a long time if not wasted by applying too much that’s not needed. Second order and will order again. Clean lines!
