YSL is both elegant and rebellious, whether it's when it launched its first lipstick, the gold mirrored case and black logo symbolized breaking the taboo to release yourself, or now it's about minimalism to create exquisite nude makeup, freedom and authenticity have always been YSL's pursuit. YSL is the most popular luxury makeup brand in China, and has attracted countless people to follow suit. However, the glory days of YSL lip makeup products seem to be stuck in the past, and now they are quite "outdated", and the new products launched are also mediocre.
 
The Golden Tube Lipstick is the ace of YSL's lipsticks, including the Rouge Volupté, Rouge Volupté Shine, ROUGE VOLUPTÉ PERLE and other collections. The RV series is the core product of the round tube lipstick, with a golden tube body and a hollow logo, which is atmospheric and has a sense of design. The lipstick has a creamy texture, is smooth and easy to apply, and has good color rendering, but the range is slightly more skinny, which is more suitable for women with white skin or fresh makeup.
 
Compared with the RV series, it is recommended that users choose the Shine series. The Shine series adds a micro-pearlescent finish to the RV series, giving it a shinier finish on the mouth, but it doesn't look exaggerated. The lipstick is evenly colored, but the fly in the ointment is that the color rendering is not high, so it is recommended to use it with daily simple makeup. The Shine series has produced many popular colors, the No. 12 color is the king of out-of-stock, known as the "male color", the watermelon red color is slightly coral, and the pink on the lips is like the crimson on the face when you are shy, which naturally reduces age. The orange tone of color No. 46 is more obvious than that of color No. 12, and the impasto color is bright red, the color is bold and warm, showing youth and liveliness, full of vitality, suitable for spring and summer. It should be noted that YSL round tube lipstick is generally falsely moisturized and upside down, which is criticized by many consumers.
 
方管唇膏一直是YSL彩妆中的经典产品。YSL出品的第一支lipstick是方管Rouge Pur Couture，诞生于1979年，所发布的19号色也是世界历史上第一支真正意义的玫红色唇膏。此外，许多限量爆款也都来自于Rouge Pur Couture，比如2015年Kiss&love系列，2016年的星辰系列等。
 
Rouge Pur Couture is available in three textures, namely Stain radiance, The mats and Golden lustre. The velvet texture is also the oldest square tube, smooth and easy to color, with high saturation and excellent coverage. The matte texture is a matte effect, the upper mouth is dry, the moisturization is low, it is easy to deepen the lip lines, and the lip is required to be high, but it has a super color rendering ability, which is more suitable for European and American makeup. Lipsticks with a gold powder texture are more exaggerated, and the shades are not practical for everyday use. The more recommended shades in the square tube lipstick are 01, 13, 52, 74, etc.
 
For Fall/Winter 2018, YSL launched Rouge Pur Couture the slim lipstick, which was nicknamed "Little Gold Bar" for its elongated black gold appearance. The small gold bar has a matte texture, the upper mouth is slightly dry, and it is easy to show lip lines, so it is recommended to make a lip base before applying. Small gold bars have excellent color rendering, but their paste is square and requires a certain amount of skill to apply. The 21 color number is the top card in the small gold bar, the cold retro red has a unique charm and cold feeling, there is an aura but not too public, and the matte texture has its own sense of luxury, which is a perfect match for the autumn and winter dark coats.
