There’s nothing not to like about the Givenchy Le Rouge Perfecto (except maybe the price) which is described as a lip beautifier. That’s about right because my lips look much better with than without. The point about Givenchy Le Rouge Perfecto is to be a 3 in 1 product providing a plumping concentrate, a moisturising balm and colour booster.#
I definitely felt the ‘plumping’, provided, apparently, by ‘pepperslim’ which is a pepper extract to stimulate blood flow. It also has a menthol deritive which accounts for the tingling sensation. It’s not a lip burn like old style plumpers (remember Lip Venom?!) but you do certainly feel something. Givenchy Le Rouge Perfecto also contains hyaluronic acid and shea, which seems to be formulated very nicely because it stays around a while and gives lips a juicy finish.
The colour boost element comes from the pH reactor so you can expect a rosy glaze. I thought mine looked a bit more peachy than rosy, and certainly didn’t come out that kind of acid pink that some pH reactors can bring. All in all, as a lip booster, all boxes are ticked – my lips look natural but more refined with a light sheen, a slightly smoother appearance and perked up a bit colour wise.
Givenchy Le Rouge Perfecto is £26 and launches in June. If you like a natural lip look, I’d really recommend it – maybe for weekend makeup? Plus, it’s one of the prettiest balms I’ve ever seen with a pink leather wrap.

Looks gorgeous! As my ‘go to’ lipstick is Givenchy’s black shade, I’d like to give this a try too….
Off to France in May. This is now on my list. If l save up a little, l shall treat myself. Thanks, Jane x
I love the natural look of this. Perfect for everyday or when I am in a super hurry. Sometimes I apply my lipstick on the subway without a mirror. This color would be perfect for that.

Hi Jane
I was thinking of purchasing the Clarins Lip perfecting product you recently reviewed (I’m in my 50s and struggle getting lippy to stay) but also like the sound of this – they sound similarish – apart from the £8 price difference and the packaging which one would you choose one over the other?! No pressure!!
Thanks

Hmm. That’s tricky – if it’s to keep lipstick on for longer, then it’s Guerlain Liplift Primer.. sorry to muddy the waters… followed by Clarins followed by Givenchy which is more balmy than anything!
Thanks Jane!
