So, YSL – you know, the fancy makeup brand that makes you feel like a million bucks even when your bank account’s screaming – they’ve got this *thing*. It’s called, like, Rouge Sur Mesure. Sounds super French and complicated, right? Well, it kinda is. Basically, it’s a little machine that makes custom lipstick colors for you. I’m talking *thousands* of colors. THOUSANDS! My mind is blown.
Apparently, it uses these cartridges, like ink for a printer, but instead of ink, it’s lipstick. And it’s all run by AI. AI, people! My lipstick is being dictated by a computer now. I’m not sure if I’m scared or impressed, maybe both.
The articles I’ve been seeing talk about this “PERSO technology.” Patent-pending, natch. From what I gather, it’s like, the brains behind the operation. It figures out what color you want, mixes the pigments, and spits out the perfect shade. You can even use an app (of *course* there’s an app) to pick colors. There’s this “Shade Wheel” thing where you can, like, pinpoint the *exact* shade you’re craving. Seriously, it’s kinda insane.
And get this: you can even get your YSL beauty purchases engraved. Like, personalized just for you. Which is kinda cool, if you’re into that sort of thing. I mean, who *doesn’t* want their initials on their lipstick tube? (Okay, maybe some people don’t, but *I* think it’s awesome.)
Honestly, I’m a little overwhelmed. It’s like, on one hand, it’s totally extra and kinda ridiculous. Do I *really* need a machine to make lipstick? Can’t I just, you know, go to the store and pick one out? But on the other hand… thousands of colors! Never having to settle for “close enough” again! Matching my lipstick perfectly to my outfit every single day! Okay, maybe I *do* need it.
Plus, the whole AI thing makes me wonder what else they’re gonna come up with. Custom-made foundation? Personalized eyeshadow palettes? The possibilities are endless! And, probably, incredibly expensive. But hey, a girl can dream, right?
I saw something about liquid velvet… lip stuff? That sounds comfy, almost like a nice blanket for your lips. Also, I’m not sure how the YSL trombone options fit into this, but I’m assuming if you’re playing a YSL Trombone, you’re probably rocking a good lip colour, too. Just sayin’.
