Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Vixen 4g

Creamy lipstick in a cool, classic red for a timeless red lip

A red lip is the most classic make-up look there is. A red with a cool, bluish undertone is the timeless choice: it makes teeth look whiter and suits many skin tones. It's the lipstick for moments you want to remember.

Vixen is a cool, classic red. The Youngblood Mineral Crème Lipstick Vixen 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: Vixen is the cool, classic red in the range: brighter and redder than Kranberry, less orange than Coral Beach.

Active ingredients

The formula combines colour with nourishing oils and extracts:

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a crisp red lip with Vixen?

Start with cared-for, smooth lips. Outline the lips with a red lip liner such as Truly Red and lightly fill them in. Then apply Vixen, blot with a tissue and apply a second layer for an intense, longer-lasting colour.

Does a cool red make my teeth look whiter?

A red with a bluish undertone contrasts with the yellow tones in teeth, so they often look whiter. An orange-red does this less. That's one of the reasons why a cool red like Vixen is such a classic.

What's the difference between Vixen and Kranberry?

Vixen is a bright, cool red, while Kranberry is a deep berry red. Vixen is classic and fresh, Kranberry darker and more autumnal.

Which lip liner goes with Vixen?

The Lip Liner Pencil Truly Red goes well with Vixen. 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.

Can I build up the lipstick in layers?

Yes, the creamy texture builds up well. A thin layer gives a soft, sheer colour; a second layer makes the colour fuller. Blot with a tissue in between for colour that lasts longer.
