Our First Impressions
The casing is a true show-stopper and a fresh addition for 2024. The sleek black leather, embossed with the iconic 4G logo, mirrors the elegance of the fashion house’s 4G bags. To open the lipstick, simply press your finger on the 4G stud, adding a touch of luxury to the experience. The satisfying click it makes exudes sophistication, making it feel undeniably premium.
I’m a nude lipstick enthusiast, so I first opted for the lightest shade, 111. However, it turned out to be too cool-toned for my liking. The application is something special—the lipstick glides on effortlessly, feeling light rather than heavy, and delivers impressive colour payoff in just one swipe.
The Formula
With a vibrant, long-lasting colour that stays radiant for six hours, this lipstick ensures your lips make a bold statement all day. As you glide it on, it feels like it plumps and smooths your lips, adding healthy colour and giving them a fuller, more luscious appearance, thanks to hyaluronic acid and shea butter. Offering 24-hour hydration and a comfortable satin texture, this lipstick keeps your lips moist and moisturised throughout the day. It strikes the perfect balance between practicality and indulgence, providing luxurious comfort.
The Finish
A satin finish lipstick offers a soft, lustrous shine, sitting perfectly between the flat look of matte lipsticks and the high gleam of gloss or high-shine lipsticks. It reflects light gracefully, giving your lips a subtle glow while delivering a richer colour payoff than glosses or high-shine lipsticks. Here’s the order of the shiniest lipsticks from Givenchy.
The Shades and Swatches
The 10-shade colour palette is crafted to suit every skin tone, drawing inspiration from Givenchy’s iconic Couture pieces. With daring and sophisticated options, finding a shade that elevates your look and boosts your confidence is easy.

The Packaging
This lipstick is more than just a beauty product—it’s a true couture accessory. Its elegant design, featuring genuine leather adorned with the iconic 4G monogram and silver-toned edges, exudes luxury. The meticulous attention to detail, including the 4G logo stamped on the lipstick bullet, enhances its appeal as a high-end item.
