What the gurus are saying

This sheer lipstick earns praise for its wearability and luxe finish, with reviewers noting they finish the tube entirely rather than tossing it half-used. The mango scent and cute packaging add appeal, though the $45 price tag is steep. The pinky shade works as a versatile everyday color, but potential buyers should know going in that the cost per lipstick is high.

"Like every time I buy this lipstick, I get it down to the very very bottom and then I'm fighting myself using a lipstick brush to scoop it all out because I love it so much. I love the scent of it. It's got this mango scent. It's [...] the best lipstick. I always always always finish up these lipsticks. I don't finish lipsticks too often, but these I even buy these myself. Like I used to get them in PR, but I go through them so much that I go and I buy them myself."

"Not having a lip liner is also really nice as well. [...] It honestly smells like watermelon. YSL makes some of the nicest lip products. Yes, they're not cheap, they can be quite expensive, the packaging is also really cute and beautiful, but this is actually a really nice pinky shade for every day. I think anybody could truly wear this shade. I love this lip."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
