Youngblood Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème Chic 4.5ml

Liquid lipstick in a warm mauve nude for a refined matte lip

A mauve nude is the elegant sister of the classic nude. The light mauve tone gives the lips depth and character, while the colour still stays calm and natural. In matte it looks modern and refined.

Chic is a warm mauve nude. The Youngblood Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème Chic is a liquid lipstick with a velvety formula that gives full colour in a single stroke. It glides smoothly over the lips and dries down to a comfortable soft-matte finish. According to Youngblood, the formula is lightweight and long-lasting, and keeps the lips hydrated all day.

Shade: Chic is a warm mauve nude: deeper than Cashmere, lighter and less pink than La Dolce Vita. French Kiss is the cool mauve option.

Active ingredients

Here's what's in the formula and what it does:

Vitamin E: Listed in the ingredients as tocopheryl acetate. It nourishes and softens the lips.

Mica: Ethically sourced, according to Youngblood. Mica gives a subtle sheen and a silky texture, and contributes to the velvety soft-matte finish.

Shea butter: Butyrospermum parkii. According to Youngblood, shea butter nourishes and cares for the lips, so they feel soft and comfortable, even with a matte colour.

Jojoba oil: Simmondsia chinensis. Cares for and hydrates the lips, according to Youngblood, so the lip crème glides on smoothly and stays comfortable all day.

3. Apply the colour with the applicator, working from the centre of the lips outwards, along your natural lip line
4. Let the colour dry briefly to a soft-matte finish
5. Apply a second layer for more intensity, or touch up during the day

Frequently asked questions

Is Chic a nude or a mauve?

Chic sits right between the two. On medium to deep skin the shade looks like a warm nude, on light skin like a soft mauve. That makes Chic a versatile shade for every day.

What eye make-up goes with Chic?

Chic goes with warm, brown eyeshadow shades and with a soft smoky eye in taupe or bronze. A brown eyeliner completes the look without becoming too harsh.

What's the difference between Chic and French Kiss?

Chic is a warm mauve nude, French Kiss a cool, muted mauve. Chic suits warm make-up, French Kiss cool and pink shades.

Which lip liner goes with Chic?

The Lip Liner Pencil Au Naturel goes well with Chic. Outline your lips with it first and lightly fill them in; this makes the line sharper and helps the colour last longer. Choose a lip liner that is the same depth as the lip crème or just slightly darker.

How do I remove the lip crème?

Use a make-up remover or an oil on a cotton pad. Hold it against your lips for a moment so the colour loosens, then gently wipe it away. That way you don't need to rub.
