Youngblood Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème Chiffon 4.5ml

Liquid lipstick in soft nude pink with a comfortable soft-matte finish

A matte nude has something effortless about it: the lips look even and polished, with no distracting shine. A soft nude pink makes that even more wearable, because it stays close to a natural lip colour while adding just a touch of freshness.

Chiffon is a soft nude pink. The Youngblood Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème Chiffon 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: Chiffon is the lightest and softest shade of the range: a nude pink. Cashmere is warmer and more peachy, Chic a warm mauve nude.

Active ingredients

The formula combines intense colour with care:

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.

How to use

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

Suitable for

• A natural, matte day look
• Work and everyday wear
• Light to medium skin
• Anyone looking for a matte nude that doesn't look flat

Frequently asked questions

Isn't Chiffon too light for a matte lipstick?

Chiffon is light, but thanks to its pink tone the shade doesn't look grey or chalky. On light to medium skin it blends with your own lip colour. On deep skin a light nude can stand out more; Chic or La Dolce Vita are often more flattering then.

How do I wear Chiffon with bold eye make-up?

A soft, matte nude lets the eyes do the talking. Pair Chiffon with a smoky eye or a bold eyeliner and keep the cheeks understated. That keeps the whole look balanced.

What's the difference between Chiffon and Cashmere?

Chiffon is a soft nude pink, Cashmere a pink peach nude. Cashmere is slightly warmer, Chiffon cooler and pinker.

Which lip liner goes with Chiffon?

The Lip Liner Pencil Pout goes well with Chiffon. 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.

Does the lip crème transfer onto a cup or glass?

According to Youngblood, the formula dries down to a soft-matte finish with minimal transfer. Let the colour dry briefly after applying before pressing your lips together. A creamy formula is never completely transfer-proof; touch up the colour after eating if needed.
