YSL Nu Transgression (156) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 lipstick YSL Nu Transgression (156) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 lipstick ($ 38.00 for 0.13 oz.) Is a soft, medium-sized coral with muted, warm undertones and a slightly shiny, cream-colored finish. It was light, thin in consistency that felt creamy and smooth when it slipped comfortably over my lips, but it didn’t noticeably settle into my lip lines. The lipstick had an opaque pigmentation that adhered evenly and lasted well for four hours while damp to the touch.

Formula overview

$ 38.00 / 0.13 oz. – – $ 292.31 per ounce

The formula is said to have “rich color with intensive hydration … in just one stroke”. The lipstick has moderate slip – some colors are pretty sleek and can feel slippery when worn, while many are creamy but stick well enough.

I’ve found that more mid-tone and deeper hues have better uses with smoother, more forgiving colors that have semi-opaque or higher opacity. Some of the lighter and deepest hues were more likely to stand out in lip lines or achieve medium to semi-opaque coverage.

Wear averaged between four and six hours. I found the formula was usually on the moisturizing side. There was a sweet, floral scent with a very subtle taste, although I felt that sometimes it gave me a taste and sometimes it didn’t notice anything.

YSL Nu Unexpected (157) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 lipstick YSL Nu Unexpected (157) Rouge Pur Couture SPF15 lipstick ($ 38.00 for 0.13 oz.) Is a muted, light-medium-sized copper with warm, red undertones and a natural sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, light consistency that slid easily over my lips and looked more glossy than it felt because it wasn’t that slippery. It wore on for a good four and a half hours and felt moisturizing over time.
