Lil Nas X is the new US ambassador of Yves Saint Laurant Beauté

The rapper is pushing boundaries not only within the music world but also, in the beauty world. 

There are many artists of the 21st century that have pushed the envelope of fitting in versus standing out. Some have dared to stand out even more with loud displays of sultry obscenity that are sure to cause a riot for those of us watching. One such artist who has fallen into this category, love him or hate him, is Lil Nas X. 

With his viral top hits such as “Montero,” “That’s What I Want,” and his industry-breaking hit “Old Town Road,” the rapper has had nothing on his agenda except boundary-pushing. From Satanic sneaker collaborations to steamy football player make-out sessions, Lil Nas X has done anything but keep a low profile. And his flare for the dramatic is yet to be stopped with his newest collaboration. 

French luxury fashion house, Yves Saint Laurent, is one of Lil Nas X’s most recent partners, but this time it isn’t in the house of fashion. YSL’s Beauté department has named the rapper as their new US ambassador for their range of beauty products. In a series of snaps on YSL’s social media, Lil Nas X can be seen showing off a few different makeup products such as the YSL Nu Lip and Cheek Balmy Tint and Lash Clash mascara. In a short clip on Instagram, the rapper puts on the YSL mascara, revealing a definite “wow” effect.
