GIVENCHY Le Rouge Interdit Cream Velvet Lipstick Review

Forget what you’ve heard about matte finishes; GIVENCHY Le Rouge Interdit Cream Velvet Lipstick is whipped, softly creamy and comfortable on the lips. The lightweight liquid lipstick leaves an ultra-soft matte finish that doesn’t collect fine lines or dry out lips. Find out what you’re wearing…

The Most Important Thing About GIVENCHY Le Rouge Interdit Cream Velvet Lipstick
Is…

GIVENCHY Le Rouge Interdit Cream Velvet Lipstick bucks the trend that hydrating matte lipsticks don’t last; it has a mousse-like liquid formula that’s long-lasting and moisturising, staying perfect for up to 12 hours. Plus, there are 13 bold shades: red and nude to brown.

What Does It Look Like On?

Its finish is velvety and shine-free with incredible colour payoff. It’s not the type of matte lipstick that won’t transfer to your coffee cup; it has a little more movement due to its non-drying formula, but don’t worry; it still lasts on the lips.

I love wearing shade 34 ROUGE SAFRAN; here’s a snap of me the first time I tried it on in shade 34:

What Skin Type Is It For?

If you have dry lips, don’t be put off by the matte finish. As I mentioned, this formula is very creamy and hydrating!

You Will Love This If…

If you love a matte finish with a couture touch and an immense range of richly pigmented colours, then you’ll love the GIVENCHY Le Rouge Interdit Cream Velvet Lipstick.

Hero Ingredients:

As well as lasting for 12 hours, its creamy sensorial formula lasts 12 hours of quenching hydration, giving lips comfort and a plump appearance.

What Does It Feel Like?

The whipped mousse-like formula is velvety, soft, and creamy.

What Does It Smell Like?

It has a slightly sweet scent.

What’s Special About The Design?

Created by Givenchy Beauty Creative Director Thom Walker, this lipstick epitomises luxury. The lipstick is packed into a glass vial with an ombre black finish, topped with a lid covered in genuine black leather and the GIVENCHY logo engraved. Inside, you’ll find a doe-foot applicator with a rounded tip, specifically crafted to effortlessly trace the contours of your lips.

How Do You Use It?

Swipe the applicator across the lips. Tilt the curved end to hug the edge of the natural curve of your lip for a cleaner line.

The Sustainable Side:

Made using 30% recycled plastic in its cap in their aim to reduce fossil virgin plastics.
