YSL Rouge Mirage & Conflicting Crimson Slim Matte Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Rouge Mirage (26)

YSL Rouge Mirage (26) Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Matte Lipstick YSL Rouge Mirage (26) Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Matte Lipstick ($39.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a rich, deeper red with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly to my lips and didn’t emphasize my lip texture. The consistency was lightweight, smooth, and more velvety in its glide, rather than emollient, so it never tugged during application but stayed on particularly well. This shade lasted well for over seven hours, left a stain behind, and was non-drying to wear.

Formula Overview

$39.00/0.08 oz. - $487.50 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "weightless" and "non-drying" that "stays put all day" with "high-pigmented matte color." The texture has a smooth, velvety consistency--it glided on readily but didn't feel wet or traditionally creamy, more like a silicone-based primer. The majority of the shades applied evenly, didn't separate along my lip lines, and were lightweight and comfortable to wear.

The pigmentation was mostly opaque to opaque, and the shade range seemed to pull more mid-tone and deeper with a fair number of red-based shades. As a result, numerous shades lasted six hours or longer with red-based shades leaving very strong stains behind (even into the next day, my lips were often pink-to-fuchsia!). Some shades seemed to go on and on and on because of the color itself and the underlying staining power! The formula was non-drying as promised.

The diamond-shaped bullet may take a use or two to get the hang of, but I didn't find it difficult to use at all. The triangular point did work particularly well for getting a sharper cupid's bow shape, if desired. The formula had a floral scent that was barely detectable while on and no discernible taste.
