YSL has updated one of its best-selling lip colours, the Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick! In this review, we’re sharing what’s changed, why it’s special, and who will love it…
The Most Important Thing About the YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick Is…
The Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick was first released in 1978. Since then, it’s become one of the most coveted luxury lipsticks. For 2023, Yves Saint Laurent has reinvited this icon; now, it contains even more skincare ingredients and a luxurious, black and gold refillable case adorned with a statement YSL logo.
What Does It Look Like On?
The lipsticks offer a medium to full coverage finish, pigmented colour, and a satin finish. They’re available in an array of shades in four colour families; reds, oranges, fuchsias, and nudes to suit all skin tones.
What Skin Type Is It For?
All skin types can wear Rouge Pur Couture lip colours.
You Will Love This If…
If you’re already a fan of Rouge Pur Couture Lipsticks, you’ll love this updated version. The design is modernised, and the ingredients are more caring than ever before. If you’re a fan of both shiny and matte lipsticks, you’ll love that this finish sits somewhere in-between – it’s more long-lasting than a shiny finish and more hydrating than many matte formulas.
Hero Ingredients:
It’s 80% skincare. The formula contains skin-caring ingredients to keep lips hydrated and smooth all day long.
What Does It Feel Like?
It’s creamy and comfortable. It’s pigmented but isn’t heavy.
What Does It Smell Like?
The lipstick has a faint perfumed scent, but it’s not overpowering. Once on the lips, you’ll barely notice it.
What’s Special About The Design?
The Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick comes in a refillable lipstick case to reduce plastic waste, and you can purchase lipstick refills when your lip colour runs out. The original case design has had a modern makeover. For 2023, the all-gold bullet is now black and gold and has a large ‘YSL’ logo on its side.
How Do You Use It?
Apply directly to your lips from the lipstick bullet; start with your cupid’s bow and upper lip, then the lower lip.
