About Yves Saint Laurent Beauty
Yves Saint Laurent is the celebrated French fashion house founded in 1961, with YSL Beauty extending its couture sensibility into makeup and fragrance. Rouge Pur Couture is the brand's flagship lipstick line — and The Slim, with its signature slim square bullet, is the matte-finish version of the family.
Shade — 1966 Rouge Libre
1966 Rouge Libre is a vivid medium-to-dark orange-red with warm undertones — a confident, statement-making lip that flatters a wide range of skin tones, particularly those with warm or neutral undertones. The shade's name nods to a landmark year in fashion history. Wear it for a polished red lip with a touch of "free spirit" warmth.
Key features
- Slim square bullet: sculpts a sharp, precise edge in just a few strokes — no liner required.
- High-pigment matte formula: saturates lips in one or two applications.
- Weightless feel: sits comfortably on the lips without the heaviness of many matte lipsticks.
- Long-wearing: stays put through the day with minimal feathering, cracking or transfer.
- Velvety, non-drying finish: a more comfortable matte than traditional dry mattes.
Who it's for
Rouge Pur Couture The Slim in 1966 Rouge Libre suits anyone who loves a confident, polished red-orange lip — particularly those with warm or neutral undertones. The slim bullet design also makes it an excellent choice for beginners wanting a clean line without the need for a separate lip pencil, and a sharp, precise application for professional makeup users.
How to apply
- Start with smooth, lightly balm-prepped lips for the best application.
- For maximum precision, line the lips first with a matching nude or red liner.
- Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting at the centre of the upper lip and working outwards.
- Press lips together to even out the colour.
- Reapply after meals for a freshly polished look.
