Rouge Paradoxe (21)
YSL Rouge Paradoxe (21) The Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick ($39.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a medium red with neutral-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation that lasted for six and a half hours, left a stain behind, and was lightly hydrating over time. The texture was lightweight, velvety, and smooth with moderate density but never felt thick or heavy, and I found it quite forgiving of lip texture and lip lines.

Formula Overview
$39.00/0.08 oz. – $487.50 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have “full coverage” with a “long-lasting semi-matte color” that has “creamy comfort.” They were very pigmented with a moderately dense, creamy, velvety consistency without sliding around. The substance/density of the product helped the product sit more smoothly on my lips and helped them be less prone to emphasizing lip texture and settling into my lip lines.
The lipsticks were comfortable to apply, and while the diamond-shaped lipstick was unusual, I did not find it challenging to work with. Most shades lasted at least five hours, with some lasting six to seven hours and some staining behind. They had a fruity, floral scent but no discernible taste. The formula felt lightly hydrating over time.

Authentic Chili (28)
YSL True Chili (28) The Slim Velvet Radical Matte Lipstick ($39.00 for 0.08 oz.) is deep copper-red with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had a nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly to my lips and deposited color, smoothing my lip lines and forgiving texture imperfections. The lipstick had a more velvety consistency that glided on with a denser feel, but it was lightweight and comfortable to work with and wear. It stayed on nicely for six hours, left a faint stain behind, and was lightly moisturizing while worn.
