Youngblood Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème Love Affair 4.5ml

Liquid lipstick in deep berry red for a rich, dark matte lip

Berry red is the colour of the colder months: deep, rich and luxurious. A matte berry-red lip instantly gives a look character and goes as well with a cosy jumper as with an evening dress.

Love Affair is a deep berry red. The Youngblood Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème Love Affair 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: Love Affair is the darkest shade of the range: a deep berry red. Iconic is brighter and more classic, French Kiss much softer.

Benefits

• Deep berry red for a rich lip
• Luxurious in autumn and winter
• Lovely with a dark smoky eye
• Full coverage in a single stroke
• Soft-matte finish with minimal transfer
• Cares for the lips with shea butter, jojoba oil and vitamin E

Active ingredients

Why the lip crème feels so comfortable:

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.

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.

3. Apply the colour with the applicator, working from the centre of the lips outwards, along your natural lip line

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

Frequently asked questions

How do I keep a dark lip like Love Affair sharp?

First outline your lips with a dark lip liner such as Pinot and lightly fill them in. Apply Love Affair with the applicator and, if needed, tidy the edge with a little concealer for an extra sharp line.

Can I wear Love Affair during the day too?

Yes, if you wear it more softly. Dab a small amount onto the centre of your lips with your finger and blend outwards. This makes Love Affair look like a warm, stained berry colour.

What's the difference between Love Affair and Iconic?

Love Affair is a deep berry red, Iconic a bright, classic red. Love Affair is darker and richer, Iconic fresher.

Which lip liner goes with Love Affair?

The Lip Liner Pencil Pinot goes well with Love Affair. 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.

What's the difference from the Mineral Crème Lipstick?

The Hydrating Liquid Lip Crème is a liquid lipstick with an applicator, full coverage and a soft-matte finish. The Mineral Crème Lipstick is a lipstick bullet with medium coverage and a satin crème finish. Choose the lip crème for a matte, long-lasting colour and the bullet for a soft, creamy sheen.
