Although the new YSL Rouge Pur lipstick comes in 18 colours, I've picked out my favourites above for their out and out glamness and originality. Quite how many will be brave enough to wear white Rouge Blanc remains to be seen (in fact, I think you can use it to adjust your choice of red). The range is designed by YSL Creative Director Stefano Pilati in new-gold coloured cases.
The best thing about this range is that it takes into account three distinct skin tones - light skin, olive skin and huzzah!! - black skin! About time, too. Rouge Noir is actually a kind of cola brown - true black would be just too harsh, and the predicted big seller is red La Rouge.
They launch exclusively at Selfridges on Friday. £22.

The white one looks intresting. Great about the skin tones too. I find things hard to find, and I have pale skin- but it is great that they are taking dark skin into consideration. About time!

Back in the 60's, we all had a white lipstick in our make-up bags. It was used to alter the intensity of other colors and was never worn alone. 50 years later, it seems to be making a comeback. Personally, I always found it very useful.
I have a white from Illamasqua, I use it to blot out my pigmented lips in preparation for wearing nudes.
Will these only be available in Selfridges??
Ohh I love YSL Lipsticks! Can't wait to see what colours they've picked for darker skintones xx
That red looks beautiful!!! I need it!!! Off to Selfridges I guess. lol

These look really interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing swatches and reviews. I'm not sure about the white but I suppose it would be useful for modifying other colours. The Rouge Noir looks such a beautiful colour, I'm still having quite a thing for dark lips!
I bought no 13 (Orange) last week. Love it and have been a sheer lip gloss kinda girl for years. Thanks for the recommendation x
