Bareminerals recently launched 20 new BAREPRO Longwear weightless gel formula lipsticks ($20 for 0.07 oz each). Inspired by nature's color palette, from nudes to brights to dark range of shades. So there's a shade for everyone! It's a full-coverage, mineral-rich lipstick with a soft matte finish that locks color in place for up to 8 hours. The comfortable matte formula glides on the lips effortlessly. It's formulated with a blend of antioxidant of Baobab and Berry oils, sunflower seed, and jojoba wax to protect, nourish and condition your lips.

The lipsticks are housed in sleek matte black tubes that fits perfectly inside your bag. The slightly slanted lipstick bullet allows a precise application without any feathering or bleeding. These lipsticks go on very creamy and smooth, but it dries down to a matte finish. They are highly pigmented, hydrating and budge-proof. Unlike some of the other matte formula, these lipsticks won't dry out your lips. I love that these lipsticks are formulated without mineral oil, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and it contains less than one percent of synthetic fragrances. It's also gluten, talc, and cruelty-free.

Final Verdict:
These lipsticks have a unique gel-like formula with a great color payoff. With a single swipe, it will provide a medium to full coverage finish. The only shade that needed a few more swipes was Raisin since it applies a bit sheer I have to use a liner with that shade for an even finish.
I'm someone who prefers a comfort matte or glossy finish over liquid lipsticks so these are right up my alley. As always, I gravitated towards the nudes, mauves and corals and my favorite shades are Nutmeg, Saffron, Spice, Peony, Cinnamon, Petal, Bloom, Strawberry, and Geranium. These are definitely long-wearing lipsticks but not completely transfer proof. It lasted for hours till I had lunch and I only had to touch up once. I would highly recommend you check these out specially if you're planning on shopping during the Sephora sale.
