Prime Beige (90)
YSL Prime Beige (90) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 Lipstick ($36.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a medium, dusty pink with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly and smoothly across my lips in a single, fluid stroke. The texture was lightweight, creamy with moderate slip, but it didn’t feel too heavy or thick on my lips, so it was comfortable to wear. It stayed on well for four and a half hours and felt hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview
$38.00/0.13 oz. - $292.31 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "rich color with intense hydration ... in just one stroke." The thing to know about this formula is that it is quite emollient and has a lot of slip; the formula almost applies itself as it glides quickly across the lips, though I sometimes found it too emollient and too slippery. That extra slip meant that some shades weren't as pigmented as anticipated or that color gathered in my lip lines. The wear ranged from four to six hours on average. I found the formula was usually on the hydrating side. They have a sweet, fruity scent that I'd describe as subtle but noticeable.

Rosewood Supreme (92)
YSL Rosewood Supreme (92) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 Lipstick ($36.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark pink-coral with warmer undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in one layer, which adhered evenly and glided easily across my lips. The lipstick had a lightweight texture that had some slip but didn’t slide around too readily during wear, so it felt comfortable and still had decent wear (four hours). I noticed the finish on this was more prone to emphasizing my lip lines–just a touch–compared to others in the formula.

This formula looks luscious and rich! And…of course I have dupes (or a dupe) for all three. Was hoping to get Prime Beige, but I have 3 listeds for it, so nope.
Again, beautiful shades. I love YSL lipsticks and have a lot. All of these shades appeal to me with my favorite being Rosewood Supreme. Luckily, I have dupes for all three. Sticking with my low/ no buy for lipsticks.
I love Prime Beige (despite the fact it’s not even remotely beige!) but I already have at least 2 of the dupes and YSL lippies are upwards of $60 here, so nah.
I was looking at prime beige today at Nordstrom and now I need to go get it! Glad it got a good rating. I don’t have any dupes for it and have never purchased a YSL lipstick despite having soooo many lipsticks.
