Nude Tension (301)

YSL Nude Tension (301) The Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick ($39.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a muted, medium coral with moderate, warm undertones and a satin finish. The texture was lightly creamy, smooth, and denser, like a velvety primer in a way, that was comfortable to apply.

It had opaque color coverage that applied evenly but was slightly prone to settling into my lip lines, which wasn’t the norm with this formula. It lasted well for four and a half hours and was lightly moisturizing while worn.

Formula Overview

$45.00/0.08 oz. - $562.50 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "full coverage" with "long-lasting semi-matte color" that has "creamy comfort." They were very pigmented with a moderately dense, velvety consistency that was creamy without sliding around. The substance/density of the product helped the product sit more smoothly on my lips and helped them be less prone to emphasizing lip texture and settling into my lip lines.

The lipsticks were comfortable to apply, and while the diamond-shaped lipstick was unusual, I did not find it difficult to work with. Most shades lasted at least five hours with some shades lasting six to seven hours with some staining behind. The formula felt lightly hydrating over time. They had a fruity, floral scent but no discernible taste.

Brown No Way Back (302)

YSL Brown No Way Back (302) The Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick ($39.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a deep, plummy brown with warm undertones and a satin finish. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and velvety, which gave it glide without being very emollient or traditionally creamy.

It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered evenly to my lips and didn’t emphasize lip texture or settle into my lip lines. It wore nicely for five and a half hours and was lightly hydrating over time.

Rose Incitement (303)

YSL Rose Incitement (303) The Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick ($39.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a darker pink with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had rich color coverage that adhered well to my lips and applied evenly in a fluid stroke. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and had a velvety glide to it, which made it comfortable to wear but substantial enough to stay in place and was more forgiving of imperfections on my lips. It stayed on well for four and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing while worn.
