How to choose the right shade of natural lipstick for your skin tone?

Today, we're going to talk about a topic that may seem simple, but which often makes all the difference: how to choose the right shade of natural lipstick to enhance your complexion . Because we know it well, finding THE perfect shade isn't always easy, especially when you want to favor natural products that respect your skin and the environment. So, if like me you're a fan of natural makeup, this article is for you!

Why choose a natural lipstick?

Before diving into tips for choosing your shade, it's important to remember why natural lipstick is an ideal option. Traditional lipsticks often contain synthetic or petrochemical-derived ingredients, which can irritate or dry out our lips. Natural lipsticks, on the other hand, are formulated with healthy ingredients, often sourced organically. They moisturize your lips while providing vibrant color, without compromising on health.

Additionally, natural and French brands—which I love—favor vegan, cruelty-free formulations, free from controversial substances like parabens or silicones. By choosing a natural lipstick, you're taking care of yourself and the planet!

How to identify your skin undertone?

One of the first steps to choosing the perfect shade is understanding your skin's undertone . This will allow you to select a color that will complement your complexion harmoniously.

1. Warm undertone : If your skin leans toward gold or orange, you have a warm undertone. The veins on your wrist often appear greenish. Lipsticks with coral, peach, orange-red, or warm brown undertones are perfect for you.
2. Cool undertone : If your skin has pink, blue, or red undertones, it has a cool undertone. You'll notice that your veins appear blue. Colors like bright pink, red with blue undertones, burgundy, or plums will be ideal for you.
3. Neutral undertone : You have a neutral undertone if your skin is a balanced mix of cool and warm tones. The good news? Almost any color will look great on you! From nudes to fiery reds, have fun!

Choosing the right texture

Now that you know your undertone, it's time to focus on texture. There are several types of natural lipsticks that will meet your specific needs:

• Creamy lipsticks are ideal if you want a moisturizing and comfortable finish. They often contain natural oils like coconut oil or jojoba oil, which nourish the lips while adding a pretty touch of color.
• Matte lipsticks offer long-lasting wear while remaining natural. Be careful, however, to choose a formula that won't dry out your lips, as some can be a bit drying. Opt for versions with shea butter or aloe vera for optimal comfort.
• Tinted balms are the perfect option for minimalist makeup. They provide a light color while intensely hydrating your lips. Perfect for a natural, fresh look. Like our Rose Lane Multi-Blush Crème .

Some practical tips

Now that you have the basics down, here are some tips for finding the perfect natural lipstick:

• Lighting is key : Test your lipstick in natural light, as artificial light can alter color perception
• Match the color to the season : In summer, opt for brighter colors like corals and pinks. In winter, darker shades like burgundy and plum will make a statement.

French brands to favor:

Here are some suggestions for natural cosmetic brands, made in France, whose formulations are as gentle on your lips as they are on the planet:

• Rose Lane Paris : Mascara, blush, and vegan, cruelty-free lipsticks with naturally derived pigments. All made in France.
• Clémence & Vivien : Their lip balms are perfect for those looking for a light and ultra-natural finish.
• Les Petits Prodiges , with multi-use balms made in France

Conclusion

In summary, choosing the right shade of natural lipstick is a question of knowing your skin undertone , preferring a specific texture and choosing a committed brand . By opting for products made in France, vegan and natural, you are choosing to respect your beauty and our environment.
