Contrary Fuchsia (08)
YSL Contrary Fuchsia (08) Rouge Pur Couture The slim, matt lipstick YSL Contrary Fuchsia (08) Rouge Pur Couture The slim, matt lipstick ($ 39.00 for 0.08 oz.) Is a deep, rich fuchsia pink with cool blue undertones and a matte finish. It had a semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation, making it one of the less pigmented hues in the entire range. The texture was smooth, velvety and comfortable to slide in one flowing motion.
It peeled off slightly along my deeper lip lines at first, but seemed to smooth out over time. It stayed good for over six hours and left a heavy stain that was there the next day. The formula felt neither drying nor moisturizing.

Formula overview
$ 39.00 / 0.08 oz. – – $ 487.50 per ounce
The formula should be “weightless” and “non-drying” and “stay there all day” with a “highly pigmented matt color”. The texture has a smooth, velvety consistency – it slipped on easily but didn’t feel wet or traditionally creamy, more like a silicone-based primer. Most of the colors were applied evenly, didn’t separate along my lip lines, and were light and comfortable to wear.
The pigmentation was mostly opaque to opaque, and the color range appeared to pull more midtone and deeper with a reasonable number of red-based hues. As a result, numerous shades lasted six hours or more, with red-based shades leaving very heavy stains (even by the next day, my lips were often pink to fuchsia!). Some shades seemed to go on and on due to the color itself and the underlying coloring power! As promised, the formula was non-drying.
The diamond shaped ball can be used a time or two to get the hang of it, but I didn’t find it difficult to use at all. The triangular point worked particularly well to give the arch shape of a sharper cupid if desired. The formula had a floral scent that was barely noticeable when switched on, and no discernible taste.

Red Puzzle (09)
YSL Red Enigma (09) Rouge Pur Couture The slim, matt lipstick YSL Red Enigma (09) Rouge Pur Couture The slim, matt lipstick ($ 39.00 for 0.08 oz.) Is a deep red with neutral to warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. It was richly pigmented and provided even, opaque coverage in a single layer, although a touch of product settled in my deeper lip lines but wasn’t enough to be seen in person.
The texture felt smooth, velvety and creamy without being traditionally pliable. It wore well for over six hours and left a very strong, persistent stain while the formula did not dry.
