YSL Unconventional Nude & Irreverent Cinnamon Slim Radical Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Unconventional Nude (312)
YSL Unconventional Nude (312) The Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick ($39.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a medium-dark, reddish-plum with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had a lightweight consistency that had a silicone-like glide that was dense but not stiff to work with. The lipstick had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly and lasted well for five and a half hours on me, while the formula felt 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.

Unconventional Nude (well, it IS a conventional “nude” for darker, richer skintones! Dumb name, YSL 😒) is super pretty looking and something I would wear for a nice, rich sienna family lip!
I really like both of these shades – particularly Irreverent Cinnamon. But I am looking at the dupe list, as these lipsticks would be soooo expensive here in Aus.
