I absolutely love YSL lip products and this new line of the YSL The Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick exceeds my expectations. The packaging is very luxurious, sleek, and beautiful with the contrast of the matte black lid versus the shiny black base and the beautiful YSL emblem. The lipstick has a nice weight to it and the actual shape of the lipstick bullet is a diamond shape, which allows for you to carefully outline the lips using the sides of the bullet and also line the cupids bow using the top point of the bullet.I would say that the lipstick is heavily fragranced with the typical YSL scent - this does not bother me whatsoever but I can see how the fragrance may be unappealing to some consumers.The shade that I received is 302 Brown No Way Back.

This particular shade name was quite strange to me the first time I read it and was a bit scared that it had the word "Brown" in the name. Upon opening and trying on the lipstick, it is a brown-based red that has enough of the red pigment to brighten up my face and is so flattering on my skin tone. I feel this is a very wearable red because it is not an orange-red or blue-based red that may be too bold for every day. The lipstick glides smoothly and nicely across my lips without clinging to dry patches. It is hydrating, yet has a more soft matte finish. The pigment in the lipstick is amazing and I get full impact color with one swipe. The performance is not like a "liquid lipstick", but the color and finish does last at least 5-6 hours on me without needing to touch up. I highly, highly recommend this product to all my friends and family and am really looking forward to trying out more shades from the YSL The Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick line.

Not these babies!! The YSL Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick lasts beautifully for most of the day (a good 6+ hours) without need of a retouch, even past lunch time!I highly recommend that if you are going to splurge of a high end lipstick, it needs to be this one! 10/10 I recommend it!

Comfortable
5 August 2021

I have only tried YSL lipsticks once, but wasn't too impressed, but I have to say that I really did enjoy this line. Shade 304 is a pink shade, but a little more on the natural side, but at the same time, a hint more brightness than your typical natural shade. It's not so much of a nude on my lips even though it says its a pink nude. Product wise, it was really comfortable on the lips. Felt hydrating, but also didn't transfer as much as I thought it would. It isn't marketed as long lasting but I felt like it held up ok throughout the day if you don't eat anything too greasy. It has a sweet perfumey scent, but not too overpowering.

Packaging wise, I really liked it because it looks very sleek and elegant with the matte top and glossy base. It also has a little weight to it, giving it a little more substantial feel even for a small lipstick. I wouldn't say the finish is really matte like the name, but it has a more natural finish to it. I think aside from the shape of it being a little more difficult for application, I would consider getting it in other shades because it feels comfortable to wear and has a pretty good wear time.

Has potential but not a fav
22 July 2021

The Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick was a nice product to get to try. I love the packaging - very sleek, elegant and high end. The scent is floral but not overbearing. I love that it's a semi-matte lipstick with a sort of powder-y finish. I prefer to use it for a "blotted lip" look. It's definitely buildable and comfortable though. A downside is that it falls into the lines of my lips, even after using a lip scrub. Just like most lipsticks, it moves around but it's a little better when I wear lip liner. It is a lipstick that I have to re-apply because it wears off. It's easy to re-apply though and doesn't feel like a bunch of chunky layers on my lips. The shade didn't work for me but I think a different shade like 309 would. Overall, I think it is a lipstick that ... MoreThe Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick was a nice product to get to try.

Overall, I think it is a lipstick that can be worked with, especially with a lip liner as a base such as the Dessin Des Levres Lip Pencil. However, the fact that it fell into the lines of my lips downgraded it for me. It wouldn't be a product I immediately recommend to my friends. I'd say a 3.5 out of 5.

Lightweight formula yet highly pigmented
29 July 2021

As someone who is still recovering from a matte liquid lipstick phase (hello, 2016-2018), I actually haven't used a traditional lipstick in so long. When applying, the formula of the lipstick is so lightweight while maintaining a creamy feeling. Matte, yet not drying or emphasizing lines. I have fuller than average lips so the fact that the product was shaped in a square rather than a normal bullet helped me apply in one swatch. With the product being so lightweight, I was shocked I only needed one application. VERY pigmented. This is great if you choose the right color for your skin tone but the shade I picked online (303 Rose Incitement) was just a bit off for my complexion.

After eating and drinking though, I definitely notice the product wearing off. Overall, this is the best traditional lipstick I've tried and I would definitely recommend this to others looking for something they can use everyday, special occasions, or just anytime, really.

Matte but Moisturizing
10 August 2021

Wow the packaging! You take one look at this lipstick and you can already tell it's a luxurious product. The lipstick is so sleek and elegant with a great diamond shape that helps with application. The scent of the lipstick is typical YSL and evokes a luxury beauty product experience. I loved the formulation of being matte but still moisturizing. I hate wearing drying matte lipstick as it ends up emphasizing lip lines and is just uncomfortable. I found this product to definitely be matte but it was comfortable to wear on my lips and didn't make my lips look dry at all.

Beige Instinct ended up being a bit more salmon-y and redder than expected. I was hoping for something a bit more nude but this color popped more on my lips than expected. That is totally my fault though and I'll have to explore the other colors. As for long-lasting, I think the moisturizing formulation sacrifices a bit of the long-lasting aspect. You will still have color on your lips after eating and drinking but it won't look like a fresh application. I don't mind as I think the ultra matte drying formulas are uncomfortable to wear.

Phenomenal
22 July 2021

First off, I love Yves Saint Laurent as a brand. They have a very high standard and the quality they deliver is outstanding. This velvet radical matte lipstick didn't disappoint! I was a bit hesitant to try a matte lipstick as my lips usually look dry and wrinkled with other matte lipsticks I've used, but this was the total opposite. I never would have thought a matte lipstick could be described as hydrating! It literally feels like I have chapstick on, without it looking glossy at all. It's a complete matte finish. My lips look nourished and hydrated. They don't have wrinkles, either. This is long lasting, too, even with having worn a face mask over it!

The shade is perfect for my skin tone (304) and the packaging itself is so sleek, modern, and stylish with its slim, rectangular shape. The only thing I have to get more comfortable with is it's shape. I tend to apply this one a bit odd, as it isn't round like other lipsticks I normally use (the lipstick itself is rectangular too). Otherwise, an amazing and possibly perfect lipstick!!

Silky Long Lasting Formula!
3 August 2021

The Yves Saint Laurent Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick is so incredibly luxurious, from the packaging, all the way down to how it wears throughout the day! Encased in a sleek black tube, this lipstick twists to reveal a diamond shape with points that easily allow you to line your lips before filling in. There is a notable fragrance, sweet and floral with a bite at the end, but I can't quite place the exact notes. I'm not scent sensitive, so it's not overwhelming or bothersome to me, but I can see it being a little intense for some. Since this is a creamy semi-matte formula it does transfer, but it's minor and only really necessary to reapply after a heavy meal.

There is a notable fragrance, sweet and floral with a bite at the end, but I can't quite place the exact notes. I'm not scent sensitive, so it's not overwhelming or bothersome to me, but I can see it being a little intense for some. Since this is a creamy semi-matte formula it does transfer, but it's minor and only really necessary to reapply after a heavy meal. I think the real winner of this lipstick is the formula; it makes my lips so buttery smooth that I can't help but play with my lips and keep pressing them together for the soft feel! It also succeeds in making my lips look fuller and smoother without accentuating lines. This matte lipstick is non-drying, comfortable, and the shade Rose Incitement (303) is a gorgeous medium reddish-pink. Although it says "soft pink," paired with my natural lip color and fair skin it appears darker and redder than the description would suggest. Regardless, it's still a unique, beautiful shade! While on the pricier sides of lipsticks, it's worth the splurge for beautiful pigment, comfort and staying power! I received this complimentary and all thoughts are my own.

Smooth and Velvety :) Matte Finish

I love this lipstick becaue it is not dry like most matte lipsticks. It follows the name when it states it's velvety. It goes on smooth and stays on smooth and has nice velvet texture but the finish comes out as matte. I have been using this lipstick for about a month now and the color is wonderful for my light/neutral skin tone. Just find what coco or you think marches your skin tone the best or just try something out of your comfort zone and I think you will be happy with this product. It does not have a strong smell, I barely noticed any scent with this lipstick. Especially compared to other mattes I've noticed different types of smells, but with this lipstick I have not had any issues. It stays on for a long time throughout the day and I just add touch-ups ... MoreI love this lipstick becaue it is not dry like most matte lipsticks. It follows the name when it states it's velvety.

You can add a light layer of coverage to your lips or a heavier layer for more dramatic results.
