Make-up : How to choose your lipstick ?

How to choose the right colour lipstick?

It's the beauty accessory you always have at the bottom of your handbag. A true ally with an almost immediate "healthy glow" effect, whether it's a matte, cream or glossy finish... And what if, we imagined a guide to help you find the lip product that's right for youThere are many tricks to finding the most flattering shade for your face. Just like finding your ideal foundation or concealer or even the perfect blushit's essential to know your skin tone and undertone (your skin's basic colour ) to find your lipstick shade.

How do you know your undertone?

To determine your undertone, the key is not to look at your colour skin, but to focus on the colour veins on the inside of your wrist. If your veins are blue, you have a cold undertone; if they're green, your undertone is warm. If you can't distinguish the colour of your veins, you have a neutral undertone.

Pink and raspberry lipstick for cool undertones

To find the right lipstick for a cooler skin tone, the ideal is to go for shades with a hint of blue or violet. If blue or darker colors suit you best, a plum or violet lipstick will look great on you. If orange tones aren't the most recommended for cool undertones, a red or raspberry lip product will compliment your lips perfectly.

If the Lip2Cheek RMS Beauty in Demure shade is an icon for cold undertones, we also love the effect of our Tinted Lip Balm Oh My Cream Skincare in Raspberry on fair skin. The Bisou Balm Tinted Lip Balm Violette_FR in Bonbon Myrtille, Bêtise and Amour Fou are also great options for cool undertones. And if you prefer glossy finishes, opt for the Bisou Jelly Tinted Moisturizing Gelée Violette_FR in Aissa and Pomme d'Amour shades.

The best clean lipsticks for warm undertones

Unlike cooler skin tones, which are enhanced by blue, the reference colour for warm undertones is orange. If you're fair-skinned, we recommend you opt for a peach or coral lip product that will perfectly enhance your complexion, and is ideal for day skins. If your skin is a little darker, a beautiful orange or plum lipstick will suit you best . Finally, if your complexion is medium or medium-toned, opt for a vibrant red for mouth-watering lips.

Are you a fan of matte finishes? You'll love Petal Bouche Matte Lipstick No Transfer Violette_FR in Cerise Désir, a soft-touch lipstick with an ultra-matte finish. Warmer skin tones will also love our Tinted Lip Balm Oh My Cream Skincare Tinted Lip Balm and its modulable Bordeaux shade. And for a softer finish, opt for our Bisou Balm Tinted Lip Balm Violette_FR in Calisson and Bonbon Coquelicot shades.

Which lipstick shades for neutral or medium undertones?

The neutral or medium undertone seems to be the most complicated to identify. In fact, it'sa mix of warm and cool undertones, which means your face can just as easily wear pink or raspberry shades as orange or plum. Give yourself free rein to choose the perfect lipstick, and don't be afraid to mix and match shades from the Signature Palette Les Filles en Rouje for example.

If you prefer nude shades, the Moisturizing Tinted Lip Balm Les Filles en Rouje in B.B shade is the perfect nude gloss. If you're a fan of warm tones, go for the Petal Bouche Matte Lipstick No Transfer Violette_FR in Amour Fou.
