DRIES VAN NOTEN Arm & Lip Swatches of the Best Luxury Sheer, Satin, and Matte Lipsticks

[@pam8200]

Hi Lexi, you put DVN lipstick and cases on the map for me and many others. I absolutely love love love the two new cases...the colour combinations and designs are just gorgeous and we haven't even gotten to what's inside yet. Your review, overview, swatch party video is a true resource to anyone looking for complete and detailed information on these amazing lipsticks and cases which no doubt are your favourite for good reason given your extensive lipstick collection across all brands. Thank you so much for going over and above. You truly deserve all the success, opportunities and more. 🏆‼️✨❤️👏

[@LexiJong]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad it's helpful to see all of the swatches.

[@yuliabudd4401]

So glad to see an updated DVN lipstick swatch party!! I love the graphic ochre shade which will be mine. Such beautiful colors and cases Lexi!! Thank you as always!! ❤️

[@LexiJong]

I think you will love Graphic Ochre!

[@VanessaSage]

LOVE that you made this video again, Lexi! You originally introduced me to DVN lipsticks, and they are my FAOURITE!!! The satins are the BEST formula, hands down and the colours are incredible. You may also love Archive Red. It’s similar to Punk Vermiliion but a little more wearable. Such good lipsticks!!!!

[@LexiJong]

I really want to try Archive Red! Thank you!

[@idyllbs]

I have Punk Vermillion and I love it. It is the perfect warm pinkish coral. Depending on the lip pencil you use, it might edge towards more pink or more coral. It works wonders with people with fair skin and gold/yellow undertones. Along with Sisley Rouge Monaco, it is the best lipstick in my opinion for darker blondes.

[@LexiJong]

Oh yes! The Sisley lipsticks are great also.

[@lorrinatreadway2938]

These lipsticks look incredible! Thanks Lexi!

[@LexiJong]

Thank you for watching!

[@Tshaw3465]

Im a chronic DVN addict entirely thanks to you! Your first DvN video was so enthusiastic it encouraged me to try a couple, and now Im sooo hooked. Ive slowly collected so many that, if I didnt use the stickers to identify them, I'd be totally lost. I have the same skin tone as you though maybe more muted? For some reason anyway, I cant wear peach or strong coral lip colours or very bright oranges without looking as if the wrong lips found themselves onto my face. So some of the DVN shades which do tend toward warmth and a coral vibe can take some work to wear. But others -- his nuanced reds and browns especially -- are wooh ... *chefs kiss* I very much agree that they're up among the very best lipsticks out there - my top 3 are now probably DVN, Prada and Lisa Eldridge.

[@LexiJong]

I'm so glad you love them! I really should put the stickers on my cases...

[@raquel8780]

Love DVN! Agree with you, and I think Hermes also upped their lipstick formula as well. Compared to their first formula, their summer edition ones are pretty great imo. Love your vids wish everyone a wonderful weekend!

[@LexiJong]

I agree. The Hermes formulas are much better than they were initially.

[@r17l]

Just hit the 100th like on this video! 🎉 Thanks for a great video, Lexi! I've never tried this brand before, but as someone else rightly said, you've definitely put their lipsticks on the map now! Those cases are gorgeous! ❤ (you are so great at describing the colors!)

[@LexiJong]

Thank you!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I love the components but the formulae look awesome. The colours are so beautiful. Thank you for introducing this line. I love your swatches.

[@LexiJong]

Thank you! I hope you got my message about the Fude Beauty giveaway. If you haven't received it yet, you should get it any day.

You started my obsession with these lipsticks! The new cool brown shade looks incredible - I just ordered from Selfridges and can’t wait to try 💄😍

[@LexiJong]

Hope you enjoy it!

You are, hands down, the best lipstick swatcher and explainer. Not a word, I know. But you are definitely the best explainer. Ha

[@LexiJong]

Thank you! I appreciate that.

[@loralee3232]

Lexi, love when you review the DVN lipsticks! I know I’m going to see the most orange & purple pigmented lipsticks. The mattes never look drying but oh so pigmented. The swatches are amazing with these lipsticks and they go on so smooth. Thank you for reviewing these lipsticks I don’t see a lot of people that do. Have a great week!! 😊🌺

[@LexiJong]

Thank you Lora! Have a great week!

[@janicecroissiert9116]

I hope these lipsticks come to the states. They look gorgeous!

[@LexiJong]

The new shades should be here soon!

[@elainebines6803]

They all look gorgeous on you. For me, I've wrote down five on my wish list. So helpful 😘. 💋

[@LexiJong]

Good luck and thank you!!

[@nicholesmith4699]

Your DVN collection is gorgeous! Thank you for your always amazing swatches. I’ve looked at these before, their cases are so beautiful, but I think I might finally be ready to splurge! Favorite Red always catches my eye. Love a good red, and love that this one isn’t matte.

[@LexiJong]

It's a really great red! If you try it, please let me know what you think.

[@nicholesmith4699]

@@LexiJong I just ordered it through your Bergdorf link. Eek, I’ve never purchased such an expensive lipstick, but I’ve wanted that coral and blue case since I first saw it. 😍 Excited to add Favorite Red to my collection!

[@YveFontilea]

I absolutely agree with your assessment of DVN's lipsticks - they are my ultimate fave in terms of color, aesthetic, and formula! My favorite shade is Archive Red (Matte 66), and I do think that it would be a shade that would look stunning on you. Your descriptions of a beauty product is always so apt

[@LexiJong]

I really want to try that one sometime!

[@gailmealworm456]

I have once again allowed myself to be influenced by you Lexi. Moments ago I placed an order with Selfridges for the DVN Satin Lipstick 36 Neon Pink and the Jaspe &Ceramic Case. It's the pretty case I couldn't resist. I will use the Neon Pink to mix with other lipstick shades or simply dab onto my lips so I'm able to enjoy the beautiful undertone. Thanks for the terrific video.

[@LexiJong]

Lol, I hope you absolutely love them!

[@gailmealworm456]

​@@LexiJong Oh Lexi, I loved the Lipstick and case so much I ordered 2 more Lipsticks and 2 more cases. ( One of these is a gift for a friend). Howevet I am waiting to hear from Selfridges for the return of shade 60 Revised Pink plus the purple and orange case. I hope DVN knows how many people you have sold these beautiful lipsticks to. It would be wonderful if they acknowledged you and your terrific video. Thank you again for all the work you put into the swatches. I think I have watched this video five times to ensure I choose the shades I like the most. Selfridges shipping on each of my DVN orders was so speedy.

[@rabbiroz3806]

Definitely interested in the cool brown and the new purple case.

[@LexiJong]

They are so pretty!

[@melissamccoy3754]

I loved Urban Pink on you! Just treated myself to Neon Pink, can’t wait!

[@LexiJong]

Thank you! I hope you love it!

[@grey3886]

[@LexiJong]

Me too!

[@soniavieira5145]

Great video, Lexi! You are the best at lip swatching. I never heard of this brand before but I'm super tempted in trying one shade. It's going to be super hard to choose which one. They all are beautiful!

[@LexiJong]

Thank you! They really all have something special imo.

[@clidrevandijk]

Thanks you so much for this video. This has been saved as a reference.

[@LexiJong]

Thank you!

[@CarryOn-Janet]

I just love your videos, Lexi! Such great content! I'm with you -- DVN lipsticks are in my top three formulas! And the colors are to die for! The Cool Brown and Sheer Abstract Red are on the DVN website. I ordered them about three weeks ago. Ruby Jimmy and Uniform Red in the satin and Street Pink and Bad Pink in the sheer formulas are also reallly gorgeous! I love all three formulas! You can't beat the cases. So stunning! Once you have the cases, the lipsticks are reasonably priced, IMHO. I like ordering from the DVN website because you get fragrance samples and they come with beautiful fabric pouches made from DVN fabric.

[@LexiJong]

Thank you! I still can't seem to get them to load on the US website! I like ordering directly from their site too.

[@CarryOn-Janet]

@@LexiJong Yes, I ordered them from the Canadian site, and they shipped from Belgium.

[@bridgettucker3692]

Thanks Lexi !! I purchased my first DVN lipstick as a Xmas gift last year in the shade O5 GO . It’s such a lovely everyday lipstick and is one of my favourites too ! ❤

[@LexiJong]

I am so glad you love it!

[@chilizable]

Just wore Urban Pink to work and it looked amazing, I get compliments every tome I wear it! I also love the satin formula, but the satin lipsticks always transfer to my teeth, so I much prefer the Matte formula! Amazing review as always, thanks you so much!❤❤❤❤

[@LexiJong]

I'm so glad you love these too!

[@susanleary1843]

OMG I had no intention of buying any of these because they are so expensive, but some of these colors are sooo special.

[@LexiJong]

Yes, these are special which makes it so much more worth it than a typical luxury lipstick imo.

[@goldenshadow7691]

These are def my fav matte lipstick formula. They last so long and somehow fade nicely and when you think all your lipstick must be gone, you look in the mirror surprised that it’s still there, faded but nicely faded. The satins and sheers are also great!

[@LexiJong]

I'm so glad you love them!

[@drnono3386]

You're the lipstick gal, you look GREAT in every colour!!!! I don't look good in every colour ha ha, but I'm trying to get braver and get away from rose-brown/brown/rose 'my-lips-but-better'. As you may remember, I'm no longer engaging with Guerlain due to the new Rouge G case swindle, so I'm happy to convert to DvN because the cases are fabulous and the lipsticks look beautiful. Noten colours noted for Summer: Favorite Red, Punk Vermillion and Urban Pink. I hope to try at Selfridges eventually, our local dept store closed (sad state of UK high streets) and we can't return opened makeup (UK). Is there any chance you can compare Urban Pink with Hermes Rose Mexique? I just need to know if UP is darker/lighter? BTW, I prefer brights in matte.

[@LexiJong]

Thank you! I'm not sure if I have Rose Mexique. I'll have to take a look but I don't think I have that one.

[@sunflowergirlntx]

Oh Lexi! I was hoping you would try the shade STREET PINK!

[@LexiJong]

Maybe next time!

[@mercedesssssz4004]

Hi Lexi! May I ask that between Givenchy Sheer Velvet and Prada Soft/Hyper Matt and this dries van noten matt lipstick which is the least drying and most comfortable to wear?

[@drumsofzulu]

I would love to know as well!

[@melissamccoy3754]

Lexi can answer best but I will say I have one of the Prada soft matte (Caramel) and I don’t feel it is drying, matte but not uncomfortable at all to me.

[@LexiJong]

I really think it depends what type of texture you want on the lips. The prada soft matte and givenchy sheer velvets are more weightless on the lips. I don't find either drying but the prada seems to be a bit more comfortable. The Givenchy deep velvet, Prada Hyper matte, and DVN are more similar texturally. None of them are drying on me and all are some of my very favorite formulas. I would rank them DVN, Givenchy DV, and then Prada HM in terms of all day comfort but they are all very close and are my top 3 followed by Hermes mattes which have improved over the years. Edited to include Sisley which are also great. I might put those about Hermes actually...

[@mercedesssssz4004]

@@LexiJong thank you for your detailed reply I really appreciate it! I might give DVN a try in the near future 😊

[@catporter8417]

I haven't tried them yet, but I've been following your videos about them for a while now and they are on my "LIST" ...lol..i love the cool toned colors DVN offers and the packaging...yes please! This is more me than the Hermes at this price point

[@LexiJong]

I agree!

[@ruthless604]

Hi Lexi, thank you for all the swatches and try on. Did you talk about whether they are scented?

[@LexiJong]

There is technically fragrance added but nothing noticeable to me. I can't really smell them.

[@mrsm2949]

Great video Lexi, thank you. How do they compare to Sisley Le Phyto Rouge?

[@LexiJong]

Thank you! I think the Sisley are also great and totally underrated. They are a bit more slick texturally but I would say they are similar in terms of quality.

[@mrsm2949]

Thank you:)

Now, these Dries Van Noten lipsticks are REAL luxury. Where have you been hiding this brand on us!!! I'm going on the website now to buy. First of all, I love their cases far more than the new Guerlain Rouge G, particularly in light of the whole Rouge G case controversy. I don't want to give Guerlain any more of my money. We as consumers shouldn't be rewarding their bad behavior. These look like a far superior alternative. And I love the innovative color choices. All the best, Lexi!

[@anafeller4069]

Hi Lexi, I stumbled upon this video while looking for Lisa Eldridge lipstick reviews. I had no idea Dries Van Noten made lipsticks, let alone that they are this good. Would you recommend the brand, since I can't get Merit in Europe? I was looking at the Ottoman brown shade, but it seems really deep on the website and slightly orangey. I have to be very careful because some lipsticks do turn orange on me. I'm not that great at understanding color, but I do know that blue undertone looks good on me. My complexion is light ( to medium in the summer ) and olive-warm, but I'm starting to think that my pigmented lips are cool-toned. For example, (and correct me if I'm wrong) the Westman Atelier lipstick in Je Reve is a darker cool mauve on me, whereas on you it pulls slightly red. DVN Ottoman brown color looks fantastic on your arm but is totally different on their website. Is it really that intense? I’d like a lipstick that enhances my lip color but that I can build it up if need be. For that much money, I would like to be able to wear it every day :)

[@LexiJong]

Definitely! DVN lipsticks are incredible! They are so well designed and the colors are unique. Their swatches on the website are completely different than they are in person. If you want something that starts off sheer but can be built up, you might want to consider their lip sheers. 05 Graphic Ochre might be a good choice for you. It's cooler than ottoman brown and has a touch of brown and red in it. It's one of my go-to lip shades and you can build it up to the depth of a lipstick.

[@anafeller4069]

@@LexiJong@LexiJong I have narrowed it down to Cool brown (which looks gorgeous and deep on you - I compared it to Pique from WA, which looks even lighter on you than Cool brown, and Pique is a color I can wear without looking dead); Graphic Ochre, Favorite red (blue tones, right?), and Ottoman brown. In the spring, I might get something bright, such as Punk Vermillion or a pink shade. Let me know what you think.

[@JulieReigle]

These are very hard to find unless you want to pay a fortune in shipping. Any insight as to where to order in US?

[@LexiJong]

The new cases aren't available yet in the US but the other ones are available at Dries Van Noten directly and several retailers I included in the description box. The new ones will be on their site at some point but I'm not sure when.

Yes, there is some blue in it but not as much as some of the others.

[@JulieReigle]

Do these have a fragrance or taste to them?

[@LexiJong]

They technically have fragrance added but I can't really smell anything so it must be pretty subtle. No taste.

[@DeborahCarlston]

I really like #17, Cool Brown, but it's nowhere to be found. I've never bought this brand, so I don't know. Will this color be restocked, or is Sold Out, really sold out? Also, in case you missed it, Dries Van Noten just retired. For now he says he will stay involved with the makeup line, but who knows? No word of his successor yet. Sorry for the bummer news. Although, since he sold to Puig, they have the bucks to keep it going. But, since you love this line, you should know. Thanks for the video!💚

[@LexiJong]

It will be restocked. That's the new shade that I can't find in the US yet but it should be permanent so it will be back. I'm a bit worried about his retirement tbh.

[@DeborahCarlston]

@@LexiJong Same here. The article was just released in the New York Times if you want to read it. Sorry to bring you possible bad news. But, if he stays involved, he's got some money behind him. And if Puig is invested in the makeup line idea, it might even grow it. So be cautiously optimistic. Just thought you should know.

This is crazy!! This morning I got a 20% off email from Saks and I thought “I want to get a few DVN satin lippies! I know the new ones aren’t here yet, but I only have their mattes(Favorite Red is my favorite). I haven’t tried the satins or sheers but I’ve wanted to! This video was PERFECT TIMING for me-almost in a spooky way!! 😂😂 Folk Orange and Neon Pink look soooo good on you and summery! They go with the Coral Treasure Chanel Quad I got this spring. I’m not sure if I should go out on a limb and get them vs getting Romantic Nude and Revised Pink that I know I’d wear the heck out of. Hmmmmm. Maybe I’ll go half and half and do Romantic Nude and Folk Orange. I have Graphic Ochre sheer, Ottoman Brown satin, and Cool Brown in matte for the Fall! THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!! ❤
