How Good Is Yves Saint Laurent Makeup?

Yves Saint Laurent spent many years in the fashion designing industry. Once they branched out into cosmetics, the makeup industry was never the same again.
When you shop for makeup, you need to look at some factors, such as brand value, quality, the range of makeup available, whether or not they are trendy and fashionable, color choices, and price, among others. In this article I am going to see how Yves Saint Laurent Makeup (YSL) measures up to these factors.

With a 46-year presence in men’s and women’s fashion and accessories, apart from makeup and perfumes, Yves Saint Laurent is an established brand, which is recognized, worldwide. It has an up-market appeal, and buyers like to flaunt the brand. The company’s founder, Yves Saint Laurent, spent some years of his career with Christian Dior, a world leader in cosmetics, and despite the relatively recent entry of the company into this line of manufacture, this experience shows in the quality of the products.

The wide range of the company’s cosmetic products includes makeup kits specially targeted at improving specific areas of interest to buyers, such as, lips, eyes, nails, complexion, and the overall look. The company has made a name for itself as a fashion brand, with its products in fashion wear and accessories, jewelry, perfumes, and makeup. Some of the brand value rubs off on its cosmetic range, so that buyers consider them fashionable and trendy.

This makeup is available, in a wide range of colors; for instance, blushers are available in brown, darker brown and pink shades. The products command a premium price, given the up-market brand value.

There is a flipside, too. The mode of application varies according to the brand. This takes time to get used to, for a new user. YSL blushers need to be rubbed in, a bit harder than other makeup kits. The sponge applicator is large-sized, and demands some care to insure that the blush stays within the area it is intended for. There are some who complain about the need for more color choices.

Despite the negatives, the positives outweigh them, and this makeup range represents good value.
