Beauty news: YSL creates Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Sheer Matte

Just over a year ago, YSL Beauty released Rouge Pur Couture The Slim , a super-slim, square couture lipstick that delivered Yves Saint Laurent's most luxurious, ultra-full and longwear matte yet. As a formula it’s a marvel - and oh so sexy to hold in the hand. Delivering the aforementioned leather-matte finish via a square tapered bullet, it is a seriously comfortable wear, and the high pigment means that just one swipe goes a verrrry long way.

The tapered bullet also means that one swipe is super precise - the unique shape means that you can really push the colour right into the curves of the lips and angle the cupid’s bow perfectly.

So, in fabulous news for matte lip lovers like me and YSL Beauty fans alike, the couture-focused makeup line has created a fresh new version of Rouge Pur Couture The Slim in the form of the new Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Sheer Matte. Billed as “a light and sensual square lipstick that enhances a natural beauty of your lips”, it is instantly appealing for those that love a just blotted look and slightly washed out, sexy finish. The comfortable new formula leaves just a light veil of colour with a sheer matte finish, and this time the square bullet shape creates precise lines and an elegant airbrushed look. This comfortable matte formula is also infused with blurring technology that softens the look of lips while delivering sheer pigmented colour. 

Obsessed yet? I was after just hearing about the product, and now I’ve had a few days to play with some press samples, I’m even more so! Available in late January 2020 in New Zealand, it comes in 12 couture shades that wear flawlessly all day. There are classic reds alongside essential nudes and super flattering pinks, and the RRP of $69 put them on the pricey side as per a luxury brand, but still affordable enough to grab a few if you start saving your pennies now! These beauties will be in at Farmers stores on January 20, and I highly recommend that you check them out x
