The new make-up launch will feature YSL ambassador Staz Lindes


YSL Beauty’s spring 2018 launch claims to be the ‘most audacious colour collection ever’ as it focuses on acid brights and clashing tones.

The brand’s new Pop Illusion collection aims to convey a dreamscape, with the supporting campaign – shot by fashion photographer Craig McDean – featuring brand ambassador Staz Lindes in an urban fantasy.

From £19.50, the line includes two new shades of its La Laque Couture nail varnish and its Rouge Volupte Shine lipstick.

YSL Beauty will also release two limited edition palettes: the YSL Couture Palette Collector contains shades of pink, yellow and blue, clashing for a ‘modern art’ look. Meanwhile, its Lip Palette Collector features five shades in bright hues designed to help the wearer stand out.

Pop Illusion will be available from 1 January.
