Yves Saint Laurent 212 Alternative Plum Rouge Pur Couture The Mats Lipstick Review

Hey, everyone!

Currently, I am obsessed with YSL Pur Couture lipsticks. I can go on and on about the formula and how comfortable it feels on the lips. These lipsticks are nicely pigmented and leave a beautiful stain too. The shade that I would be reviewing today is “212 Alternative Plum” which has a super gorgeous matte formula.

My Experience with Yves Saint Laurent 212 Alternative Plum Rouge Pur Couture The Mats Lipstick:

The packaging is absolutely stunning. It is a gold coloured tube which feels very royal to carry around and the Gold tube contains the black detailing with YSL logo. It’s heavy and sturdy; feels absolutely luxurious. Unlike the satin formula, the matte ones do not have a YSL logo engraved on the bullet of the lipstick. The shade number is printed at the bottom of the tube. It has a typical YSL fruity–floral scent and the scent lasts for a long time without fading.

The shade Alternative Plum is a deep berryish Plum colour which is perfect for Winter months. This shade will look stunning on all the skin tones. I prefer these over the satin formula sd these feel better and also last longer than the satin formula. YSL mats are highly pigmented and offer a medium coverage in a single swipe. Also, these can be built up to a full coverage in just two swipes.

It literally feels like applying butter on the lips. The matte formula sits comfortably on the lips. It feels very hydrating and lightweight. The best part of YSL mats is, they do not accentuate any dry patches on my lips. These do not bleed or feather around my lips. When it comes to the lasting power, these do last for around 5 to 6 hours and also leaves a beautiful stain behind. They also survive in between the meals and fade out evenly.
