Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Secret 4g

Creamy lipstick in a warm peachy brown for a warm, earthy lip

Brown lipsticks are back, but softer and warmer than before. A peachy brown gives the lips depth and warmth without becoming dark. It suits a natural look as well as warm, bronzed make-up.

Secret is a warm peachy brown. The Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Secret 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: Secret is a warm peachy brown: deeper than Muse, less rosy than Smolder. It's the warmest brown shade in the range.

Active ingredients

Why the lipstick feels so comfortable:

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.

Sunflower oil: A nourishing oil that leaves the lips feeling soft and comfortable. Together with castor oil, it creates the creamy, cushiony texture.

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 Malt
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 warm, earthy look
• Autumn and sun-kissed summer skin
• Medium to dark skin

Frequently asked questions

Is Secret a nude or a brown lipstick?

Secret sits right in between. On medium to dark skin, the shade comes across as a warm nude; on light skin, as a soft peachy brown with more colour. That makes Secret more versatile than you might expect.

What make-up goes with Secret?

Secret pairs beautifully with warm tones: bronzer on the cheeks, eyeshadow in bronze, copper or warm brown and a brown eyeliner. This gives you a cohesive, warm look that works by day and by night.

What's the difference between Secret and Smolder?

Secret is a warm peachy brown, while Smolder is a warm rosewood. Smolder has more pink and red in it, Secret more peach and brown.

Which lip liner goes with Secret?

The Lip Liner Pencil Malt goes well with Secret. 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 do I apply lipstick neatly without smudging?

Work from the centre of the upper lip out to the corners of the mouth and do the same with the lower lip. Use the tip of the bullet for the Cupid's bow. For extra precision, outline the lips first with a lip liner.
