YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats: #207 Rose Perfecto

7 Days, 7 Lipsticks
Hi Beauties,
In this last week of the year, I am going to review seven lipsticks for you. This year was a memorable one for me; what with starting to write for IMBB; getting your support; making so many new and lovely friends; getting an insight into so many beauty brands; and along the way, gaining so much self confidence. These lipsticks belong to three brands; one drug store; one medium end; and one high end luxury brand. All these shades will be very suitable on all skin tones; either during day time or evening wear; in this cozy and joyous part of the year. One thing common between these will be the boldness of the shades; be it on lighter side or darker side; no one can dispute their boldness at all.

Wish you all A Merry Christmas!!! May this day be a very sacred day in our lives, and may we all celebrate, pray and enjoy this day together, with all our family, friends, and countrymen. The year is nearly up; and there are so many memories to look back on. I will be reviewing a few lip colors for you, in the next few days, starting with this bold, yet light shade, which will be very suitable for day wear and day time celebrations. I have specifically selected this shade for today; which is hot yet muted; a bold shade yet not a very bold shade; in fact according to me, a perfect Christmassy shade. This is a new launch by YSL, and belongs to the matte group. I had got three shades from this collection last month; and will be reviewing this today; and shade 204 on the last day of 2014.

My Experience With YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats: #207 Rose Perfecto:

The YSL Lipsticks, as we all know, just scream of luxury. It is so beautiful, coming in a square, golden colored casing, inside a box packaging. These new matte shades were released a few months back, and were being proclaimed as one of the best in the blog world. I got three shades from this collection around 2 months back, and have been wearing these so much since then. I am completely in love, and a total convert (since I am not much of a matte person).

SHADE

Consistency: These lipsticks are just amazing; with a creamy consistency, which is not at all difficult to apply. It does not pull or tug at all. But it sets to a velvety matte finish within 15-20 minutes, and then stays on all day. It goes on quite creamy; then turns matte; but I have never faced any acute dryness of my lips. It is not hydrating; but it is not drying either. But as with all matte shades; you will have to prepare your lips well before applying.
Pigmentation: Just as solid concealers pack the most pigmentation; similarly, the matte lipsticks are the most pigmented of all. And these are really pigmented; providing almost 100 percent pigmentation in just one swipe.

ARM SWATCH

Shade: This shade is named “Rose Perfecto”; and this is the most perfect shade of rose I have ever seen. Mostly, I see rose shades, to be much more of MLBB shades. However, this is the rose which we see in our daily life; a pretty pink, quite hot, yet fresh and muted; and with subtle purple undertones. It is almost the same shade of pink rose; which Salim gave to Anarkali in the film Mughal-e-Azam. Infact; this is the original shade of rose; till we started getting so many hybrid varieties of roses.

LIP SWATCH

Staying Power: It stays put on the lips for a long time. It stays on my lips for 5-6 hours easily; does not transfer much after setting; and leaves behind a very lovely stain at the end of the day. However, since the shade is subtle; the stain is also quite subtle; an almost natural pink lips. It easily lasts me one full day; and more; and I am completely in love with this shade.

Pros of YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats: #207 Rose Perfecto:

• A beautiful, original, fresh shade of rose pink with purple undertones
• Fragrance is good
• Velvety matte
• No bleeding or dryness
• Goes on very smoothly on the lips
• Opaque in just one swipe
• Lasts on and on…and on

Cons of YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats: #207 Rose Perfecto:

• Expensive
• Shade not yet available in India (and might never be!)

My rating: 5/5

Will I recommend this: Yes, of course. These new matte shades were released in two groups: two dark shades and two nu*e shades. The two dark shades include Fuschia Fetiche and Red Rhythm; while the two nu*e shades are Nu*e Acoutic and this shade. I cannot imagine why this has been grouped under the Nu*es; except that this shade is a muted one; not very dark and vibrant. I absolutely love it for daytime wear; and for evening parties when I am sporting a smoky eye look. My face absolutely brightens up when I am using this lipstick; and I do not have such a beautiful pink in my collection at all; a pink with purple undertones, so hot yet so muted. Till next time, goodbye!
