Is #517 Abbie a true red?

It is a deep maroon red with a glossy finish. On the lips it reads darker and softer than a bright classic red, especially in one layer.

Is it matte or glossy?

Glossy. The Brillant line is a shine finish, not a matte one, so expect visible luster rather than a flat look.

Yes. The cream formula is moisturizing and paraben- and sulfate-free, which makes it a better fit for dry lips than most matte lipsticks.

Expect a few hours before it fades. The glossy texture transfers onto cups and needs reapplication after meals.

It gives less coverage and more shine. Choose it for comfort and gloss; choose a matte Gucci lipstick for opacity and longer wear.

One lipstick in the gold-tone Gucci case. It is a standard stick format, not a set or a refill.
