Like That? Try This! YSL Edition

One of the most popular features on my blog is something I call “Like that? Try this!” I take a bestselling shade or product from a collection and then work with an artist to come up with an alternative you might like. It could be a shade that is similar in tone or a hue that offers contrast. With so many choices at a beauty counter, this gives you an option that will look good. And one you might not have considered before.

This month, YSL Beaute’s national trainer Rebecca Bertucci has outdone herself with some amazing picks. I particularly like the Rouge Volupte Shine in Coral Incandescent. Nina Westbury is always telling me that coral is a shade that looks great on so many skin tones. But it isn’t one that comes to mind when shopping a beauty counter. This particular shade is a favourite of several Beauty Directors at New York fashion magazines I know.

 

ysl rouge volupte shine pink in confidence

  1. Like that: YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in Pink in Confidence #8

“This dusty, pale pink neutral lipstick is the ideal shade to wear with a smoky eye. It can be applied like a traditional lipstick for a bold effect or dabbed on for a soft, diffused look. I like that it provides 8 hours of hydration and comfort.”

“I love that this bright Cajun coral is perfectly on trend this season by making the lips a feature. I like to apply it like a traditional lipstick for maximum shine and then frame the edge of the lips with Touche Eclat to enhance. It’s stunning.”

“Since this is such a highly pigmented lipstick that provides medium to full coverage with a satin finish, I like to frame the edges of the lips with Dessin des Levres, a lip pencil to create bold structure.”

Try this: Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick in Beige Tribute #10

“Counter the bold of Rosy Coral with a warm nude such as Beige Tribute. You can wear it on its own but I like to layer it over any other shade to lighten and soften. I like to use this shade with the Dessin des Levres Lip Pencil #6.”

ysl lacque couture in rose

  1. Like that: La Lacque Couture in Rose Absrait #24

“This is my go-to nail colour when I want a soft neutral to enhance the natural nail shade. It’s particularly nice with a French manicure. I like that it is a high shine finish that dries evenly without chipping.”

Try this: La Lacque Couture in Bleu Majorelle #18

“If you want to look on-trend for summer, this bold, dramatic shade is the perfect choice. It can be worn all over the nail for full shade or used as an accent in a nail art look.”

    I’ve always liked corals, and these two are no exception. I’d love to try them, but I’m wondering if they’re above my price range.

    I love all the lipsticks and lip glosses but these YSL glosses are so special. The colors are very wearable on every skin tone. All the lip products this year in all brands have been amazing and these YSL are no exception.
