Howdy All! Todayโs review is going to be exciting because weโll be talking about YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats, again. But before that, the part 1 of this review can be found HERE. Since you all know that Iโm an avid fan of YSL lipsticks, I have added four more of their matte lipsticks, called The Mats, as part of my personal stash of YSL lippies. You might be wondering why YSL? Because I just love their lip productโs formulation, the overall feel, longevity, and their gorgeous colors! Thereโs something about YSLโs lip products that makes your lip radiant, glowy, and simply beautiful.
We all know that YSL beauty recently added a couple more shades to the Rouge Pur Couture The Mats, and thereโs quite some exciting colors to choose from. I had my eyes on the shades; 214, 217 and 218 and 206 shade.
Aside from the creamy and long-lasting YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipsticks that I adore, Iโm also a huge fan of The Mats. Their velvety matte formula is not like most matte lipsticks in the market nowadays. They sort of have this non-drying satiny matte feel that is comfortable on the lips while lasting for hours. They donโt feel heavy and leaves a soft stain even without reapplication.
The YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats still retain the same flavor that goes with any YSL lippies, which you may hate or love. As for me, it doesnโt bother me that much since I got used to their melon-mango flavor. Another thing I love about these lipsticks is that they have such gorgeous packaging. You can even engrave them whenever you purchase them at YSLโs website.
Here are my 4 faves:
218 (Coral Remix) โ Pretty nude shade with a hint of coral. Itโs the perfect daywear lipstick and can be worn by anybody with a medium skin tone. The texture is quite creamier than most The Mats.
214 (Wood On Fire) โ This is a light red shade for those who like red, but not too much red. Think of it as an everyday red lipstick that doesnโt go over the top. Itโs also a bit creamy.
217 (Nude Trouble) โ This shade is definitely not nude. You could call it a nude pink-mauve perhaps, but this is more like a muted mauve that works really well if you have a medium skintone and sort of pigmented lips. Texture-wise, this feels like a perfect velvet-matte.
206 (Grenat Satisfaction) โ This mix of dark, plum, brown and red shade is beyond gorgeous! Though this lipstick feels a bit drier compared to the other The Mats lipsticks, I think this is my kind of shade because it fits my skintone well.
Arm Swatch:
I like all the shades that I featured here, but if I have to rank them among each other, it would be; 4th place โ 214, 3rd place โ 217, 2nd โ 218, and 1st- 206.
