“I don’t know what suits me”: this make-up artist has created 13 lipstick shades to suit your skin tone

Choosing a lipstick can quickly become a headache when faced with the infinite number of shades available on the shelves. Yet there’s one simple criterion that can make all the difference in front of the mirror: skin tone. In 2026, the French brand AudreyBurn Paris proposes an approach designed to sublimate every skin tone thanks to colorimetry.

Why skin undertone makes all the difference when choosing a shade

Opting for a color just because it’s trendy often leads to disappointment. The ideal shade depends above all on your skin tone. Well-chosen lipstick brightens the complexion. Wrongly chosen, it can harden features or make you look tired.

A vermilion red will not have the same effect on fair skin as on dark skin. This logic applies to your wardrobe as well as to the contents of your beauty kit. So taking the time to observe your skin tone becomes a real asset.

To identify your undertone, look at your wrist veins. If they’re greenish and you look good in gold, you have a warm undertone. Conversely, if they’re bluish and you look good in silver, you have a cool undertone.

“When it comes to choosing a lipstick, it all starts with observing your skin tone. Every skin has its own light, and the right choice of shade simply reveals it.”

Beauty diagnosis to find your ideal shade

This detail, often overlooked but meticulously cared for in the catwalk dressing rooms, guides your palette. To take things a step further, AudreyBurn Paris has developed a personalized beauty diagnosis. This guide will help you find the color that perfectly enhances your skin.

Once the diagnosis is complete, it’s time to make an appointment with a beauty expert. This step helps you to fine-tune your choices and answer all your questions.

• Observe the color of its veins to determine its undertone
• Test gold and silver jewelry to confirm
• Use customized diagnostics for greater precision
• Ask a beauty expert for advice if you need it
• Choose a shade that suits your skin tone rather than fashion trends

AudreyBurn Paris: a brand for all skin tones

In the world of cosmetics, shades go on forever. Yet most products forget the essential: celebrating the uniqueness of each skin. AudreyBurn Paris, created by make-up artist Audrey Burn after more than 10 years’ experience, makes this its credo.

The brand has developed around a flagship product: Rouge Exception. This lipstick comes in 3 textures, 5 shades and 13 colors. Each shade is designed to highlight a specific skin tone.

Whether it’s Rose Charnel, Rouge Impérial or Anushka, the brand gives the impression of a made-to-measure shade. No need to mix several colors to achieve the desired result. Now, every woman can find “her” color.

Audrey Burn’s advice for every skin type

For fair skins, the founder recommends a shade slightly deeper than the natural skin tone. Rosy shades like Rose Charnel add radiance. Bluish reds like Rouge Impérial illuminate the complexion without hardening it.

For dark to mixed-race skin, Saba Queen is a sure bet. In reds, Rouge Impérial or Anushka bring depth and elegance. The color palette remains broad for this skin type.

For darker skins, rosy-beige shades like Saba Queen bring light. Deep, bluish shades like Anushka sublimate the skin and give it a remarkable radiance.

Natural formulas that care for lips

This lipstick doesn’t just enhance the smile. The formulas, composed of up to 99.9% ingredients of natural origin, act like a real skincare product. They moisturize, protect and repair lips on a daily basis.

Castor oil brings comfort and suppleness thanks to its softening properties. Plant waxes such as carnauba and candelilla create a protective film. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant shield against external aggressions.

Unlike some products that dry out or mark fine lines, these wrap the mouth in a comfortable veil. The brand’s formulas are 100% vegan, paraben-free and fragrance-free. A mirror integrated into the case allows make-up to be applied anywhere.

Make-up is still a free space. You can wear a lipstick simply because you like it. However, choosing the right shade for your skin tone can enhance your well-being and boost your confidence.
