Nude Reinvented
If there’s one thing YSL Beauty does exceptionally well, it’s turning a classic into something that feels entirely new again. And with the launch of its Lovenude collection, fronted by muse Dua Lipa, the idea of a nude lip has officially had a modern rewrite. Think soft-focus, blurred edges, and lips that look like your own, just better.
Discover how to recreate Dua Lipa’s YSL Beauty Lovenude make-up look, including the exact shade of the new Lip Blusher and the full product breakdown.
So if you’ve been wondering what actually goes into her beauty look, here’s how to recreate it, along with a closer look at the two heroes behind it.
Get Dua’s Look
In the Lovenude campaign, Dua Lipa’s make-up is carefully balanced rather than pared back. The skin is perfected with the YSL All Hours Glow Foundation and YSL All Hours Concealer, giving a smooth, luminous base that still feels like skin.
On the eyes, tones from the YSL Couture Mini Clutch #720 Captivating Dunes add warmth and depth, paired with YSL Lash Clash Mascara in Black to frame without overpowering.But the emphasis lands on the lip. She’s wearing the YSL Lovenude Lip Blusher in #44 Nude Lavallière, a refined nude-pink that sits between beige and a natural flush. It reads as a true nude on her, with a finish that diffuses the edges and keeps the overall look clean, soft and close to the natural lip.
YSL Lovenude Lip Blusher
At the heart of the collection is the Lovenude Lip Blusher, and it’s not your typical lipstick.
What makes it interesting is this hybrid texture. It combines the soft-focus effect of a matt lip with the comfort of a balm, giving you that blurred finish without any dryness. It melts into the lips rather than sitting on top of them, which is what creates that diffused, almost cloud-like effect.
The Lip Blusher comes in 10 nude tones, spanning everything from soft pinks and peachy nudes to warmer caramels and deeper browns. It’s a spectrum designed to work across different skin tones, but also across different moods, whether you want something barely there or a slightly richer, more defined nude.
Kiss Shaper Sculpting Lip Liner
The texture of this liner is creamy and blendable, making it easy to sketch and soften the lip line without it ever looking too precise. It’s designed to enhance rather than define too sharply, which is why it pairs so well with the blurred lip effect.
It comes in a range of nude shades that mirror and complement the Lip Blusher line-up, from lighter pink-based tones through to deeper browns. However, its most impressive quality is its staying power. Forgetting I even had product on my lips, the colour and shape withstood plenty and still stayed on.
If you want to see how it all comes together in person, the Lovenude experience is currently happening at Mid Valley Megamall. Running now until 17 May, the space brings the collection to life with a series of interactive activations. You can explore the textures, test the shades, and even check in to the Love Nude Hotel concept, which leans fully into the sensory, intimate world of the campaign.
