YSL lipsticks are known for saturated colour and a polished finish, whether you want a soft satin or a flat, long-wear matte. We're an official Yves Saint Laurent stockist, and the lip range covers everything from a soft nude to a bold pink or red. Nudes suit everyday wear, pinks add a fresh pop of colour, and reds put your lips front and centre. There's plenty more from Yves Saint Laurent if you're building a full look.

YSL Matte and Satin Lipsticks

For a YSL matte lipstick, the Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Matte Lipstick is the one to reach for. It's highly pigmented with full coverage and a leather-matte finish, and the square bullet gives you a sharp edge. Use the tip for your cupid's bow, then run the flat side along the bottom lip to outline it before you fill in.

If matte feels like too much, Rouge Pur Couture is the satin option, pairing couture colour with a nourishing formula. Shades such as Nude Instinct, Pink Tuxedo and Rouge Legion cover nude, pink and red. Satin is the easier choice if bold lip colour is new to you, because it sits closer to your natural lip than a flat matte does.

Choosing Your YSL Lip Colour and Finish

Pick the finish first. Satin feels comfortable from morning through to night, while matte gives you stronger colour but can feel drier, so smooth on a lip balm underneath. If you only want a hint of colour, a tinted balm is a lighter way to wear it, and a clear gloss over a satin adds extra shine.

Colour looks different on everyone, so check the shade in natural light before a big night out. Blot once after you apply, then tidy the edges with a clean fingertip. A crisp outline does most of the work, especially with a red. Matte formulas cling to dry patches, so if your lips are flaky, gently exfoliate the night before and keep a balm in your bag. With a satin, a second coat builds the colour up when you want more intensity.

Once your lips are done, the rest of the look is easy to pull together with Yves Saint Laurent Makeup. Start with Yves Saint Laurent Eye Makeup to balance a bold lip, or add Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat for a fresher-looking base.
