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 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-colored finish. It had almost opaque pigmentation in a single stroke that was applied evenly and smoothly to my lips without puffing or puffing. The texture was light, thin, but pliable, and not at all clingy, with moderate slip. I was impressed with how smooth the formula was on my lips! It stayed on well and felt moisturizing for five hours.
