Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Sheer Matte Lipstick

Experience the most comfortable matte lipstick yet with Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Sheer Matte Lipstick, a lightweight sheer-matte lip colour with an ultra-precise square-bullet design.

The best-selling YSL The Slim is back, but not how you remember it. This time, the square-bullet lipstick is silver, and comes in a sheer matte formula that delivers buildable, pigmented colour to create a just-blotted effect. A lighter alternative to the original, The Slim Sheer Matte offers precision, comfort, longevity, and most importantly luminous colour – it’s the matte lipstick the beauty world’s been waiting for!

Unlike most matte lipsticks, Sheer Matte is made to be layered – you can choose to create a subtle flush, or build for vivid colour. The nourishing formula is infused with blurring technology for an airbrushed look, plus moisturising ingredients that soften and hydrate the lips as you wear it.

Why We Love It

We loved the original Rouge Pur Couture The Slim, so when we heard that a sheer-matte finish with a new silver look was coming out, we had to get our hands on it. Where do we start with this addition? Well, we’ve never tried a matte lipstick like this before; it feels nourishing but doesn’t look too shiny, plus it has the innovative square-bullet we know and love from the original. It glides on smoothly imparting a dewy-matte wash of soft colour which is beautiful, plus because it’s ultra-hydrating your lips are taken care of too. If you think matte lipsticks aren’t for you, YSL Slim Sheer could change your mind.

How To Use It

Start at the centre of the lip, using the precision tip to follow the outline of your cupid’s bow, and blend out to the corners. Then you come to the lower lip; apply from the corners using the edge of the bullet – and layer for extra intensity.
