Youngblood Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème French Kiss 4.5ml

Liquid lipstick in a cool, muted mauve for a calm, elegant matte lip

Muted mauve is one of the most elegant lip colours. It's calm, grown-up and refined, and works as well with a work look as with a night out. A matte finish brings out that understated elegance even more.

French Kiss is a cool, muted mauve. The Youngblood Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème French Kiss 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: French Kiss is the cool, muted mauve of the range: cooler than Chic and La Dolce Vita, softer than Love Affair. Sakura is the bright peony pink.

Active ingredients

Why the lip crème feels so comfortable:

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.

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.

5. Apply a second layer for more intensity, or touch up during the day
