Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Naked 4g

Creamy lipstick in a light pink nude for a natural, well-groomed lip

A nude lipstick should look like your own lip colour, only slightly prettier. A light nude with a pink undertone does exactly that: the lips look even and fresh, without it being obvious that you're wearing lipstick. It's the shade for days when you want to keep your make-up calm.

Naked is just such a shade: a light, pink-tinted nude. The Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Naked 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: Naked is the lightest, pinkest nude in the range. Barely Nude is more neutral and Blushing Nude slightly rosier and warmer; Muse is a warm beige.

Active ingredients

The formula is all about comfort and care:

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.

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.

How to use

1. Start with cared-for, smooth lips; if needed, apply a lip balm first and let it absorb
2. Outline the lips with a matching lip liner, for example the Lip Liner Pencil Pout
3. Apply the lipstick straight from the bullet, working from the centre of the lip out to the corners of the mouth
4. Blot with a tissue and apply a second layer for a fuller, longer-lasting colour

Suitable for

• A natural daytime look
• Work, study and everyday use
• Light to medium skin
• Anyone who rarely wears lipstick

Frequently asked questions

Isn't Naked too light?

Naked is a light nude, but thanks to the pink undertone the shade doesn't look grey or flat. On light to medium skin, it blends beautifully with your own lip colour. On deeper skin, a light nude can stand out more; in that case, go for Muse or Secret instead.

How do I wear Naked with strong eye make-up?

With a smoky eye or a bold eyeliner, a light nude is a particularly good choice: the lips stay calm, so the eyes get the attention. Apply Naked in one thin layer and blot with a tissue for a soft finish.

What's the difference between Naked and Barely Nude?

Naked has a clear pink undertone, while Barely Nude is a soft, neutral nude. Naked looks fresher, Barely Nude more understated. If in doubt, Naked suits cool skin better and Barely Nude suits neutral skin.

Which lip liner goes with Naked?

The Lip Liner Pencil Pout goes well with Naked. 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.

Does the lipstick have a scent?

The ingredient list includes vanillin, which gives the lipstick a light vanilla scent. Fragrance (parfum) is not on the ingredient list. If you're sensitive to fragrances, always check the full ingredient list.
