Gerard Cosmetics Star Powder Brigitte, Grace and Lucy



Hi guys! A month has passed since my last blogpost. There have been up and down and I'm quite stressed lately, even I did not post on instagram regularly. This is also not going to be a long post, just a simple review about Gerard Star Powder in Brigitte, Grace and Lucy. I have another Star Powder in Audrey from previous haul (reviewed here) and now I'm going to discuss some difference between Audrey and those three.


While my Audrey comes without box, those new comers comes inside a proper box. The case is still the same with Audrey, the mirrory golden case. Although it comes in box, Lucy can't close properly. Something wrong with the closure, I don't know whether the mistake is in the production or the shipping process. Luckily the products are all perfectly safe.




They're so beautiful together right? I have to admit I have a huge love for highlighter. Now I'll present you the individual close up below.




And the last picture is of course the swatch. I don't know if you could see the difference of the texture in the picture. Remember I said that Audrey is powdery? The other three are so much better in term of the formula. They are much more buttery and soft. Blendability is good and long lasting too. I haven't tried them for a further test, but so far I like them


Well, that's all I can say about them. See you again as soon as I can. Have a good day.

Gerard Cosmetics Star Powders Audrey


How's your weekend so far ladies? Hope you have a nice one! This time I'm going to review about Gerard Cosmetics Star Powders Audrey. I bought this long time ago together with some lipstick and lipgloss when they were on sale. By the way, GC is celebrating their anniversary right now and giving huge discount and free shipping (as always) internationally. Go check on them here




There is no packaging box as long as I know, so you will only received it wrapped in some kind of a sponge protector. The case is photogenic and looks really beautiful on pictures. It is a reflective gold, easy to get dirty, but easy to be cleaned. On the other side, it is super light and made from plastic material. So in real, it feels cheap because of the packaging.


At the time I bought this, there were only 3 shades available. Now they add 4 more shades, so you can choose which one suits you perfectly. Audrey is inspired from one of the biggest Hollywood Icon, Breakfast at Tiffany's star Audrey Hepburn. It is a warm champagne gold that is reflective and high shine. It contains 12g of products,and that's a lot!

When talking about shade, this kind of shades will be pretty in almost all skintone. The other options at that time were Lucy and Marilyn. When you are in doubt choosing highlighter color, just go for champagne. It works for me so far, always.

It looks 'wow' on the pan and made me afraid to be a disco ball.. But, actually the shimmer is soft enough for daily use. It transfered beautifully on skin, blendable and sits there a whole day. It is near 7 hours before I cleaned my make up with only small sign of fading.

The texture is a bit dry and powdery, but there is no fallout or any difficulties in application. The pigmentation is not special, but still beautiful and buildable.

Thinking of comparison, the one appeared inside my head is The Balm Mary Loumanizer, which I've been using for the past two months everyday! (Reviewed here). Mary Lou is more golden, more pigmented, but also way more shiny and shimmery. If you love Mary Lou but looking for a more subtle substitution, try this Star Powders. Mary Lou is $24, Audrey is $29, but with 40% discount happening at the moment, it makes a good deal. And you got more products since Mary Lou is only 8.5g. Both are beautiful, depends on your style.


Thank you for reading..
