Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Kranberry 4g

Creamy lipstick in a deep, rich berry red for a warm, dark lip

Berry red is the colour of the colder months: deep, warm and luxurious. A berry-red lip instantly gives a look character and suits a cosy jumper just as well as an evening dress. It's darker than red, but warmer than plum.

Kranberry is a deep, rich berry red. The Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Kranberry 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: Kranberry is the deep berry red in the range: darker than Vixen and redder than the rosy plum of Envy. It's the darkest shade in the range.

Active ingredients

These ingredients make the difference:

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I keep a dark lip like Kranberry crisp?

Outline the lips first with a dark lip liner such as Pinot and lightly fill them in. Apply Kranberry, blot with a tissue and apply a second layer. If needed, tidy the edge with a little concealer for an extra crisp line.

Can I wear Kranberry during the day too?

Yes, if you wear it more softly. Dab the lipstick onto the centre of the lips with your finger and blend outwards for a stained, lighter berry red. That way Kranberry looks like a warm, autumnal colour rather than an evening look.

What's the difference between Kranberry and Envy?

Kranberry is a deep berry red, while Envy is a deep, rosy plum. Kranberry is warmer and redder, Envy cooler and more pinky-purple.

Which lip liner goes with Kranberry?

The Lip Liner Pencil Pinot goes well with Kranberry. 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 should I store a creamy lipstick?

Store the lipstick at room temperature and not in direct sunlight or in a hot car, as a creamy formula softens in the heat. Always twist the bullet back down before putting the cap on, so the tip keeps its shape.
