Lipstick: it’s more than a cosmetic. It’s a confidence-booster, a fashion statement and sometimes a weapon – a silent form of armor. Whether it’s a vivid scarlet or a neutral nude, a new color can transform your look and how you feel.
A power lip (red or pretty pink) can perk up your mood and inject confidence when needed. Need to kill an upcoming presentation? Or ace an interview? Or just meet the day with humanity and flair? Lipstick to the rescue. It can boost your confidence and performance like a pep talk in a tube.
Bored by the view? A burst of coloron your pout can spice up your day. Coral or fuchsia can brighten your mood. Red is the perfect armour to make you feel like you can conquer the world any day—a simple tip to chirp up your mood and put on a smile.
Lipstick is, after all, really just the icing on the cake. Just as the right pair of earrings or a statement necklace can bring an outfit together, the right lipstick can also tie your whole look together. On a bad hair day, it could be just the eyeliner and lipstick that gives your entire look a lift. A bold lip adds drama; a nude one complements it.
Lipstick isn’t merely something to pack for a night on the town. Wearing it as part of your regular beauty regimen makes you feel dressed up for everyday activities or errands, even when working from home. It’s a fast, inexpensive way to feel glamorous.
Changing your lipstick colorcan speak volumes about who you are. In a playful mood? A bold, unexpected hue should do the trick. In a sentimental mood? A soft pink or peach could be the right choice. Subtle or dramatic: the choice is yours. Play with it and see how you feel.
You enhance your look with lipstick, which can guard your lips against the harsh outdoors. Plenty of formulations contain emollients and humectants – ingredients that trap moisture, thereby maintaining the best texture. On top of that, some lipsticks contain sun protection factor (SPF) to shield you against UV rays. You’ll appear attractive, and your lips will be guarded from damage, too.
With an appropriate colour, even the mouth covered in lipstick looks like it has worn a whiter tooth. Blue-based hues – ‘true’ reds and pinks – make teeth gleam. It’s an easy shortcut to a brighter smile.
Pausing – even, if only for a moment, to add lipstick – is a self-care mechanism. It’s the ritual of stopping, appreciating yourself, and pampering yourself a little. Whether preparing for a big night out or adding a small strip of colorto your face on Zoom, that moment of attention can be invaluable.
For better or worse, a signature lipstick shade can become part of your brand. A lipstick look that you consistently nail will make you look more memorable, and memorable is what people mean when they describe us as ‘striking’. It’s a silent way to stand out.
It is fascinating how something like lipstick can alter your mood. According to color psychology, different shades can make you feel in a certain way. Reds are for energy and desire. Pink is filled with romance and youth. Nudes stand for simplicity and sophistication. Picking a lipstick colour, regardless of the colour, indicates to some extent how you want your day to be, too.
Lipstick’s history is ancient. Cleopatra used to crush beetles and create a red pigment for her lips, and women in ancient Greece used a red dye mixed with sheep sweat (yes, sweat). Throughout the centuries, lipstick was considered an expensive luxury item for women but gradually became a beauty staple. Today, it is a necessity in many beauticians’ toolkits. Throughout history, wearing lipstick has been common for any woman.
Finding the perfect lipstick can feel like a quest, but it’s worth the effort.
Find Your Undertone: If you know your skin’s undertone (warm, cool or neutral), you can buy a lipstick that suits it. Warm undertones coordinate with coral and orange-red; cooler skin looks good in colder, blue-based reds and pinks.
Occasion:Different occasions call for different lipstick looks. A vibrant red is just the ticket for a night out, for example, but when heading to the office, you’ll want something a little more subtle, like nude.
Try it Before You Buy it: Always test a lipstick before buying. A color you like in the tube might not look good on you, so test it to see if it works with your skin tone in natural light.
Experiment: You could try a new color/finish. Try shades from matte to glossy but without deteriorating your lip. There are loads of lipstick varieties available. Hope you find your next favourite shade soon!
The brainchild of Gabriela Rodríguez Alfaro, born in Mexico and kissed in Australia, Madame Gabriela Beauty launched in 2020 with the tagline ‘born in Mexico, kissed in Australia’, and the first luxury, clean, non-toxic lipstick brand to include organic New Zealand Manüka honey. After two years of research to find the perfect combination of ingredients, the brand’s business partner and Gabriela finally found their award-winning formula, the basis for their five must-have products.
The Madame Gabriela Beauty line of lip cosmetics comes packaged in refillable, sleek, modern tubes made of recycled aluminium. Madame G’s Beauty line currently consists of four gorgeous shades of lipstick and a super-moisturising lip balm:
Paris at 7 p.m: Real red wears its own color, it won’t depend on its country – it’s fit for every skin tone.
8 am in Sydney: a nude for light to medium dark skins that’s easy to swipe on and go.
1 pm in New York: pink, playful pop!
Mexico City at 9 p.m.: The ultimate summer coral that brings a vibrant touch.
11 am, Saint-Tropez: An ultra-nourishing lip treatment balm with essential sunflower seed oil, cocoa seed butter and natural waxes. Lips paradoxically feel incredibly soft and silky.
From Madame Gabriela Beauty’s perspective, this formulation – as a celebration of global beauty, sustainability and the pleasure of matching a shade to your own – is a concept, not a lipstick.
The Morning Kiss is an attention-worthy lip care set with a warm nude lipstick tone of peach and a deep heat finish, and it comes with the perfect lipstick of the best anti-aging, best skincare and lip plumping lip moisturizer pair, handcrafted in California, USA.
This set features two products: Sydney at 8 AM and Saint-Tropez at 11 AM, the best long-lasting lipstick with creamy blush and plum tone.
It is the ultimate lipstick shade of warm, nude, complemented with peach undertones! It is also Madame Gabriela’s most extensive lip conditioning treatment.
Sydney at 8 AM: The Perfect Nude
Its Sydney at 8 AM, and it’s the perfect nude lipstick, the perfect peachy, honey shade that complement all skin tones from pale to medium dark.
And it’s the ideal clean, natural nude that you can enjoy without compromising your values. Our favorite part is the antibacterial UMF 15+ Mānuka honey – a total beauty wonder – it’s one of nature’s little gifts to us all. It not only heals, but it’s antiseptic and antibacterial, making it the ultimate healing and soothing agent. Packed full of antioxidants and goodness, it will keep your pout gorgeous.
Also, 8 AM features natural skin hydration such as sesame seed oil, cocoa seed butter, castor seed oil, shea butter and sunflower seed oil, all of which have a soothing effect on your skin.
Their role is to reinforce the skin barrier function that protects your lips, keeping them hydrated and great-looking all day long. Also, the beautiful glimmer of 8 AM comes from the precious contribution of aromatherapy, thanks to the soothing properties of aromas such as bergamot and ylang-ylang.
Saint-Tropez at 11AM: The Ultimate Lip Conditioner
Sheer nude cool for Sydney at 8 AM, served alongside Saint-Tropez at 11 AM, a colorless, lip-sealing balm for younger, pout-perfect lips. Enriched with nourishing oils, it invigorates your lips and gives your skin an irresistible sheen. A potent yet lightweight balm, it is powered by the healing antibacterial benefits of UMF 15+ Mānuka honey, just like all the other Diptyque lip care products.
Its formula is further enhanced with the same rich blend of natural skin conditioners: sesame seed oil, cocoa seed butter, castor seed oil, shea butter, and sunflower seed oil—ingredients that do nothing but nurture and soothe your lips, moisturising and offering them long-lasting protection against environmental aggressors, keeping them soft and smooth.
Both are super-moisturising luxury breakthrough products that feel super-light, lusciously rich and barely there thanks to their uber-clean formulations. The warmest, sexiest, most allosexing and kissable lips of your life are just a swipe away.
Sydney at 8 am has a knockout high color payoff and fabulously moisturized lips. In comparison, Saint-Tropez at 11 am feels so moisturizing, never sticky, and it’s super-rich and hydrating or barely there.
These products are super-charged with gorgeous nutrient-packed oils and butter, extraordinarily hydrating and super-creamy, delivering deep antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes and vitamins.
They’re incredibly glossy and plump while keeping your aging, delicate lips pouty and kissable. Plus, the satisfaction of giving is priceless.
