Chanel Rouge Hydrabase Creme Lipstick

Average member rating of 8.0
Average member rating
Rated a 7.5
It's not a permanent replacement for lip balm, but Chanel's Rouge Hydrabase Creme Lipstick feels great on dry lips. The Vitamin E and chamomile formula soften, and although the color fades after a few hours (sooner if you eat or drink), it never looks dry. There are more than 30 shades to choose from that are semi-opaque with a bit of shine. It looks great layered under lip gloss if you like more sheen. Plus, the super-sleek tube is as gorgeous as the product inside.

    I don't like the smell!

    by milkyone (257 reviews)
    It works fine, and they have colors that I like. BUT I cannot stand their strong smell. Even my husband noticed, and he said "what did you use?". I prefer fragrance-free lipsticks. If you are like me, this is a wrong pick. June 6, 2008, 9:40 am

    Not the best Chanel has to offer

    by cocochanelgirl (7 reviews)
    I am a huge fan of Chanel lipstick, ( I even worked for Lancome!) however, this hydrabase goes on rough and dries out to a sparkle that I don't care for. I switched to Chanel Allure. For one Allure has the best case! It locks! Second, it actually is moist and it doesn't dry sparkly... I got Wild Tulip in the Hydrabase, if...

I switched to Chanel Allure. For one Allure has the best case! It locks! Second, it actually is moist and it doesn't dry sparkly... I got Wild Tulip in the Hydrabase, if you have purchased hydrabase and feel the same way try the allure in ATTITUDE. When you rub your lips together it's not hard like the Hydrabase.

    Ahhhh Lotus Rouge How I Love You ...

    by Bellakahlua (7 reviews)
    I'm on my 2nd tube of this, & have been wearing it monogamously since it came out a few months ago. In fact, it's now the only lippie I own (yes, I'm serious, deep breath...). I've only gone through 1 other l/s before, & that was NARS Gipsy if that gives you any indication as to what kind of shades I gravitate towar... November 27, 2007, 11:37 am I'm on my 2nd tube of this, & have been wearing it monogamously since it came out a few months ago. In fact, it's now the only lippie I own (yes, I'm serious, deep breath...). I've only gone through 1 other l/s before, & that was NARS Gipsy if that gives you any indication as to what kind of shades I gravitate toward. You know that envious, flushed lip color that little kids often have? This is it in a tube: a luxurious wearble red with just a hint of berry to brighten your face like nothin' else. The texture too is perfection - gliding on smoothly, with moderate color payoff that seemingly plumps my lips. No bleeding either (always my biggest l/s gripe), just cushy, lush color that is even capable of lasting through dinner so long as I'm somewhat careful with the olive oil consumption ...

    nice lipstick but a little rough

    by derenzopa (29 reviews)
    I normally love Chanel products, but this lipstick goes on rather roughly. I have "Lilac Sky", so maybe it is just that shade-- it has a lot of shiny crystal-like pigmant in it which may be the culprit. As always with Chanel, the color is rich and lovely.

I have "Lilac Sky", so maybe it is just that shade-- it has a lot of shiny crystal-like pigmant in it which may be the culprit. As always with Chanel, the color is rich and lovely. I have started putting a lip balm on first and that has helped the lipstick go on smoother. November 30, 2007, 7:54 am

    Nice Lipstick, color that delivers!!

    by Megill (15 reviews)
    I really like this lipstick. I am partial to Chanel Products, but do have a problem with the color staying on. I don't mind using a lip liner, however it would be nice not to apply a liner each time you apply the lip stick. This is one product you do not need to do this with.

    Topaz 82 - my "I Am Now Officially Dressed" red

    by elisse (37 reviews)
    I hate to say it because it's so expensive, but this really is the best lipstick I've ever used, the best color that goes with darn near everything, and the only lipstick I actually buy repeatedly. (With my luck they'll discontinue it...) December 9, 2007, 10:20 pm

    Lily Beige is a great neutral

    by thiller52 (3 reviews)
    Chanel Rouge Hydrabase is my favorite lipstick line as it stays on a long time. In the last few years, they also improved the scent of this product, which is now much nicer! Lily Beige is a great neutral -- goes well with a natural look or balances out a smoky eye. December 5, 2007, 12:23 pm

    I love this lipstick

    by TheChick (1 review)
    I've been wearing it for years. This is the only lipstick I wear. I love the soft mink. It's a great color for day and night. Out of all the lipsticks I've tried this stays on the longest.

This is the only lipstick I wear. I love the soft mink. It's a great color for day and night. Out of all the lipsticks I've tried this stays on the longest. When going out for a night of eating or drinking I only have to fix the lipstick once or twice during the whole night. With others I have to fix it every time I go to the bathroom. Definately try this one. July 30, 2008, 4:52 am

    Beautiful coverage and colors

    by blarue (8 reviews)
    This lipstick is by far the best I've ever used. I am partial to reds, and this texture is shiny, soothing and somewhat sheer enough to not be too "loud". Like all Chanel products, this lippy is gorgeous and worth every penny! July 23, 2008, 6:14 pm
