Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture The Slim Lipstick 2.2g in shade 28 Pure Chili is a high-pigment matte lipstick from YSL's flagship lipstick line. The slim, square couture bullet — a YSL signature — sculpts a precise lip in just a few strokes, while the comfortable, lightweight matte formula delivers vivid, long-lasting colour without dragging or drying.
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 is the matte-finish version of the family, recognised instantly by its sleek square bullet design.
Shade — 28 Pure Chili
Pure Chili (also known as "True Chili" in some markets) is a warm-toned orange-red — a confident, copper-leaning red that flatters a wide range of skin tones, particularly those with warm or neutral undertones. The shade pulls slightly cooler than a true tangerine and warmer than a classic blue-red, making it a flattering "in-between" choice for those who want a bold red with character.
Key features
- Slim square bullet: sculpts a sharp, precise edge in just a few strokes — no liner required.
- High-pigment matte formula: nearly opaque coverage in a single application.
- Long-wearing: stays put through the day with up to 7+ hours of wear and leaves a flattering tint on the lips afterwards.
- Velvety, lightweight feel: sits comfortably without the heaviness of many matte lipsticks.
- Non-drying matte finish — not too dry, not too hydrating; a balanced wear.
Who it's for
The Slim in 28 Pure Chili suits anyone who loves a polished, confident red with warmth — particularly those with warm or neutral skin undertones. The slim bullet's precision makes it equally useful for beginners and experienced makeup users, while the long-wear matte performance is favoured by professional makeup artists for editorial, bridal and on-camera work.
How to apply
- Start with smooth, lightly balm-prepped lips for the best application.
- For maximum precision, line the lips first with a matching red or nude 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.
