YSL x Zoe Kravitz Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick Swatches (Spring 2021)
For spring, there are eight new, limited edition shades of YSL x Zoe Kravitz Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick ($38.00 each), which include six more red-based hues and two less overtly red-based shades.
Love how Shoreditch Walk, Lost In Marais and Topanga Sunset look! Those are the three I’ll be watching for.
Nice! She’s a good collab for them. The first set was grand, too. Not that I’m partial to red, or anything….. Maybe something went bad that I can replace one of these with!
My inner grammar watch says ‘with one of these, Stupida.’
As Churchill famously said in with regards to ending a sentence with a preposition “This is the sort of English up with which I will not put.”
So dark for a spring collection … it gives me more an autumn-winter vibe… By the way I’m the first supporter of the philosophy “wear what colour you like regardless the season” (which in my case this mean wearing the so called spring-summer shades all over the year)
Is it just me, or are there only 2 to 3 different shades here?! 4 look identical and a couple others look to be the same shade/ tone but with a varying depth. Packaging and bullets are beautiful and the colors do look rich on your lips.
I’m guessing that 143-144 have brown undertones, 145-146 orange, 147-148 are blue-based reds, and 149-150 have more burgundy to them. But I agree that the middle ones look very similar!
I feel like they’re the kind of color differences where one person doesn’t necessarily need to own each shade, but one lipstick will flatter certain skintones more and another will be best for another set of the population.
I loved the lipstick I got from this first collab (Honey’s Nude) and will be looking to see how these perform. They LOOK absolutely gorgeous!
Wow – these lipsticks look splendid, such pigmentation and a glorious array of shades. YSL nearly always does great lipsticks in vibrant shades.
I like London Sky, Shoreditch Walk and Lost in Marais the best.
Love the look of these .. and Rouge Pur Couture is one of my favorite formulas ..
Thanks for swatching Christine !
I’m intrigued by London Sky, Paris Stroll, and Brooklyn Baby.
On second thought, Paris Stroll goes on looking sort of like Sephora #Lipstories A Little Magic. I think I’ll swap it out for Midnight LA. I already have Brooklyn Baby in my Sephora basket!
The reds are SOOOO similar!!! Jeez. But I do like the more non-red shades quite a bit. Hope the test well!
In my understanding, the point of a collaboration is to bring in someone from outside the brand’s creative team, because they have an interesting, different, fresh perspective. Meaning, ideally, a collaborator would come up with something innovative. Something interesting. Some colors you can’t buy from every single brand that has ever produced lipstick. Come to think of it, at any point during my lifetime, you could walk into a drugstore any buy all of these colors and at least three dupes of these colors from other brands in the same drugstore.
London and Shoreditch would be my picks. The previous collab generated a favourite lipstick: Arlene’s Nude.
I love some of these but I am sure I have dupes already
