Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Velvet Radical Lipstick Review

Review of the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Velvet Radical Lipstick

YSL beauty fans, listen up! Yves Saint Laurent have launched a 2021 edition of the best-selling, world-renowned Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Lipstick that you’re going to want to meet.

Featuring the same high-pigment, long-lasting colour in a new semi-matte finish, the YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Velvet Radical Lipstick is a must-have for any luxury makeup lover….

The Most Important Thing About YSL The Slim Velvet Radical Lipstick Is…

The full coverage Velvet Radical Lipstick will take you from day to night with its bold, highly pigmented colour and comfortable creamy formula. The semi-matte lip colour is available in a wide array of shades – including everything from soft, plush nudes to vivid burnt oranges – so every skin tone and complexion can find their perfect match!

What Does It Look Like On?

YSL’s Slim Velvet Radical Lipstick has a semi-matte finish that provides high-pigment hues without the drying effects often associated with matte colour, resulting in a smooth and healthy-looking pout.

What Skin Type Is It For?

The Rouge Pur Couture Velvet Lipstick is suitable for all skin types, but it’s especially good for dehydrated skin types that typically find lipsticks drying.

You Will Love This If…

If, like me, you dislike heavy and drying matte textures, you’ll love this soft and velvety lipstick, which still offers a long-lasting hold without stripping moisture from your lips.

Hero Ingredients:

YSL’s The Slim Velvet Radical Lipstick is enriched with three silky oils for a weightless, hydrated formula that lasts for hours on end. Infused with rosat leaf extract, sourced from the YSL Beauty Ourika Gardens, the formula offers long-lasting comfort.

What Does It Feel Like?

This velvet lipstick has a whipped cream-like texture that cocoons your pout in a soft and moisturised veil.

What’s Special About The Design?

Part of the iconic Rouge Pur Couture collection, YSL fans will recognise The Slim Velvet Radical Lipstick’s familiar square shape and sleek, modern tube design. The versatile design is both cost effective and travel-friendly as the square bullet style allows for easy application, so you can effortlessly shape your lips without the need for a lip liner.

But of course, what is YSL beauty without a little luxury? The slim black design is adorned and embossed with a luxurious golden logo and housed within a gleaming box – it screams YSL.

How Do You Use It?

For best results, start at the centre of the upper lip; using the pointed tip of the Velvet Radical Lipstick, follow the shape of the cupid’s bow and make your way toward the corner of your lip. Repeat for the other side. For the bottom lip, work your way from the corners of the lips toward the centre using the flat edge of the lipstick.
