For a brief time, the beauty gods smiled, and a mega sale descended upon the hallowed halls of Yves Saint Laurent beauty. The iconic YSL Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks, usually a splurge at $38.00 for a mere 0.10 oz., were available at a significantly reduced price. This irresistible opportunity led me to snatch up several shades I hadn't previously reviewed, all part of their permanent collection. This article focuses on my experience with one particular subset – the vibrant, electrifying neons – and provides an in-depth look at their texture, pigmentation, longevity, and overall wearability. Prepare yourselves for a vibrant journey into the world of YSL Rouge Pur Couture, specifically focusing on the neon shades and a closer examination of shade X19.
YSL Rouge Pur Couture Swatches: A Rainbow of Possibilities
The YSL Rouge Pur Couture line boasts an extensive range of shades, catering to every taste and skin tone. From classic nudes and reds to daring plums and vibrant corals, the possibilities are endless. However, the neon collection stands out as a bold statement, offering intense pigmentation and a unique, almost luminous finish. These aren't your subtle, everyday shades; they’re designed to make a statement, to command attention. This review will, however, primarily focus on the neon shades I acquired during the sale, offering a detailed swatch and review of each. While I won't cover every shade in the extensive YSL Rouge Pur Couture range, my experience with these neons provides a good insight into the quality and characteristics of the line as a whole.
YSL Rouge Pur Couture Review: Beyond the Hype
Before diving into the individual swatches, let's address the elephant in the room: the YSL Rouge Pur Couture hype. Are these lipsticks worth the price point (even at a discounted rate)? My answer, based on my experience with these neon shades and others in the range, is a resounding yes – *with caveats*. The packaging is undeniably luxurious; the iconic gold casing feels substantial and elegant. The lipstick itself glides on effortlessly, providing a creamy, comfortable application that's far from drying, even on drier lip types. The pigmentation is exceptional; one swipe delivers intense color payoff, and even sheerer applications are buildable without appearing cakey or patchy.
However, the longevity isn't always stellar. While these lipsticks are certainly long-lasting compared to many other brands, they're not completely transfer-proof, and reapplication might be necessary after meals or heavy drinking. This is particularly true for the brighter, more vibrant shades like the neons. The longevity, however, is comparable to other high-end lipsticks in a similar price range. This is a common trade-off with highly pigmented, intensely colored lipsticks. The vibrant color payoff often comes at the cost of slightly reduced staying power.
