Fuchsia Intense
Laura Mercier Fuchsia Intense Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème LipstickLaura Mercier Fuchsia Intense Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a rich, raspberry pink with a lot of brightness paired with a satin sheen. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that did not build up beyond that–some translucency was always apparent.
The texture was lightweight, thin, and more velvety without clingy, ensuring the product adhered well and didn’t slide around during wear. It wore well for six hours, left a stain behind, and felt lightly hydrated.

Formula Overview
$32.00/0.12 oz. – $266.67 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a “high-impact color” with “weightless decadence” that “moisturizes and smooths.” The texture was lightly creamy but more velvety overall, so it glided effortlessly over my lips but didn’t feel overly slippery. The pigmentation was nearly opaque to opaque in a single layer, which was applied smoothly and without tugging.
The issue I had was that the formula didn’t seem particularly forgiving of natural lip texture or imperfections, so despite exfoliating before application, there were areas highlighted that I didn’t expect to see since the formula was supposed to be soothing. It also settled a bit into deeper lip lines, which were more noticeable (in person, not just in the close-up photos) with lighter shades than brighter or deeper tones. They lasted between four and six hours on me and felt lightly hydrating.

Rose Mauve
Laura Mercier Rose Mauve Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème LipstickLaura Mercier Rose Mauve Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light-medium purple with warm, pink undertones and a satin finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage in a single stroke but needed a little more on top for full range in all areas.
The product was applied evenly and smoothly without tugging or emphasizing my lip lines. It stayed on nicely for four and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing while worn.

Mauve Merveilleux
Laura Mercier Mauve Merveilleux Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème LipstickLaura Mercier Mauve Merveilleux Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark mauve with cooler undertones and a satin finish. The texture was smooth and velvety, thin and lightweight but not clingy, and comfortable to apply in a single, fluid stroke.
It had a nearly opaque color payoff that adhered evenly to my lips with a very slight product that settled into my deeper lip lines, though it wasn’t noticeable in person. The color lasted for four and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating over time.
