Beauty Care: YSL Corail Marrakech & Corail Spontini Rouge Volupte Shine Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches

Corail Marrakech (14)

YSL Corail Marrakech (14) Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick YSL Corail Marrakech (14) Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick ($38.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a light-medium orange-leaning coral with warm undertones and a luminous sheen. There seemed to be barely-there pearl in this shade, though sometimes it felt like my eyes deceived me. The texture was smooth, lightweight, and balm-like, which meant a fair amount of slip, so it wasn’t the longest-wearing product.

It had semi-opaque color payoff in a single layer, which was slightly more coverage than marketed. There was a smidgen of product that settled into my deeper lip lines, though it wasn’t enough to be noticeable from a normal viewing distance. This shade lasted nicely for three and a half hours and felt comfortable to wear as the formula was lightly hydrating.

Formula Overview

$38.00/0.11 oz. - $345.45 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "deeply hydrating" and "melt" onto the lips with a "pop of color" and give long-term hydration. It is described as having "medium coverage" and "irreverent shine." The color coverage was typically medium, as described, though some of the deeper shades were more buildable to semi-opaque coverage.

They're a very, very creamy, emollient formula; they slip-slide as they melt against the lips during application, and it feels luxurious to apply but can be easily over-applied. It's just the type of texture that lends itself to over-application without adding more coverage, so I recommend being mindful in order to ensure you'll get plenty of usage out of each tube. Fortunately, once on, they don't feel thick or overly slippery, so it doesn't feel like the lipstick is constantly moving while worn.

They have a high-shine, almost glossy, finish that often smoothed out my lip lines without settling into them, and the latter made it more impressive due to the amount of color and slip. The wear time varied from shade to shade but typically landed between three and five hours. Some shades leave a faint stain behind--usually the mid-tone and darker hues. The formula has a sweet, mango scent but no discernible taste.

Corail Spontini (15)

YSL Corail Spontini (15) Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick YSL Corail Spontini (15) Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick ($38.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium, pinky-peach with moderate, warm undertones and a luminous finish. It had medium pigmentation in a single layer, which was as described, and applied evenly across my lips without catching on imperfections. There was a touch of product that settled into my deeper lip lines, though I couldn’t see this in person, just in the close-up photos.

The texture was balmy–a fair amount of slip, almost felt like it melted against my lips–and lightweight with a smooth, thin feel on my lips (but not clingy). It wore well for three hours and felt moisturizing over time.
