Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Envy 4g

Creamy lipstick in a deep, rosy plum for a rich, elegant lip

Plum shades give the lips depth and character. They are darker than pink but softer than burgundy, so they suit an evening look as well as an autumnal daytime look. A plum with a pink tone looks just a little fresher, too.

Envy is a deep, rosy plum. The Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Envy has a creamy, silky formula that glides effortlessly over the lips. The colour is full and true, with a satin crème finish and a comfortable, cushiony feel. According to Youngblood, the lipstick leaves the lips soft, cared for and beautifully defined.

Colour: Envy is a deep, rosy plum: deeper than Cedar and rosier than the berry red Kranberry. It's the darkest pink shade in the range.

Active ingredients

Why the lipstick feels so comfortable:

Vitamin E: Listed in the ingredients as tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate. It nourishes and softens the lips and helps keep the oils in the formula stable.

Aloe vera and chamomile: According to Youngblood, aloe vera and chamomile extracts soothe and hydrate. They help keep the lips soft and balanced.

Sunflower oil: A nourishing oil that leaves the lips feeling soft and comfortable. Together with castor oil, it creates the creamy, cushiony texture.

Mica: Ethically sourced, according to Youngblood. Mica gives a subtle sheen and a silky texture, and contributes to the satin crème finish.

Jojoba oil: Simmondsia chinensis. According to Youngblood, jojoba oil cares for and hydrates the lips, so the lipstick glides smoothly and the lips feel soft.

Frequently asked questions

Isn't Envy too dark for daytime?

Envy is a bold shade, but you can also wear it softly. Dab the lipstick on with your finger for a stained, lighter effect, or apply one thin layer and blot with a tissue. That way Envy also suits an autumnal daytime look.

What eye make-up goes with Envy?

A soft smoky eye in greige, taupe or plum goes well with Envy. Keep the liner subtle, so the lips and eyes don't compete with each other. A cool pink blush completes the look.

What's the difference between Envy and Kranberry?

Envy is a deep, rosy plum, while Kranberry is a deep, rich berry red. Kranberry has more red in it, Envy more pink and purple.

Which lip liner goes with Envy?

The Lip Liner Pencil Plum goes well with Envy. Use it to outline the lips first and lightly fill them in; that way the lipstick stays put for longer and doesn't bleed. Always choose a lip liner that is as dark as or just slightly darker than your lipstick.

How do I apply lipstick neatly without smudging?

Work from the centre of the upper lip out to the corners of the mouth and do the same with the lower lip. Use the tip of the bullet for the Cupid's bow. For extra precision, outline the lips first with a lip liner.
