Rouge Unapologetic (151)

YSL Rouge Unapologetic (151) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 Lipstick YSL Rouge Unapologetic (151) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a bright, medium red with strong, warm undertones and a glossy, cream finish. The lipstick had a lightweight, thinner consistency that had moderate glide and light slip, though it looked glossier than it felt going on. The pigmentation was opaque and lasted well for four and a half hours, while the formula felt moisturizing over time.

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.13 oz. - $292.31 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "rich color with intense hydration ... in just one stroke." The lipstick has moderate slip--some shades are fairly emollient and can feel slippery during wear, while many are creamy but adhere well enough.

I've found that more mid-tone and deeper shades have better applications with smoother, more forgiving color that was semi-opaque or higher in coverage. Some of the lighter and the very deepest shades were more prone to settling into lip lines or yielding more medium to semi-opaque coverage.

The wear ranged from four to six hours on average. I found the formula was usually on the hydrating side. There was a sweet, floral scent with a very subtle taste, though I felt like it sometimes gave me a taste and other times, I didn't notice anything.

Rouge Extreme (152)

YSL Rouge Extreme (152) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 Lipstick YSL Rouge Extreme (152) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 Lipstick ($38.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a medium-dark red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single stroke, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging or dragging. The texture was lightweight, thin but emollient and not at all clingy, with moderate slip. I was impressed by how smoothing the formula was on my lips! It stayed on nicely for five hours and felt hydrating to wear.
