cool toned contours ♡

contour is a cool undertone person's best friend. it adds depth and a nice contrast to our skin that, most of the time, needs it.

 
maya profile picture
among all the contour sticks I have tried (and I have tried lots) this is, for now, the only one that truly has a cool undertone and doesn't turn orange. it blends in like butter on skin and is really buildable (do not hesitate to put on a lot). and ...
CONTOUR STICK - Shade 01
 
maya profile picture
my first ever contour stick back in 2021, gifted by a friend. it was at this moment that I had a hint that I could have cool undertones… turns out it was true. this stick isn't as buildable and workable as the sephora one, but it is a bit more pigmen...
Match Stix Contour Skinstick - Shade Amber
 
maya profile picture
the shade gentle from this collection is the one that is the more cool toned out of them all (considering lighter skin tones in mind for this one). not as cool toned on skin as the sephora one, but remains nonetheless a good base contour pre-bronzer ...
RARE BEAUTY | Soft Pinch Liquid Contour - Shade Gentle
 
maya profile picture
a true cool toned contour for darker skin tones. from what has been reviewed, it doesn't lean warm at all ! as usual with rare beauty products, it is highly pigmented and blendable.
RARE BEAUTY | Soft Pinch Liquid Contour - Shade Sublime

cool toned liquid & cream blushes ♡

 
maya profile picture
the shade bold-faced lilac turns in a pretty light pink shade on the skin when blended, with just a hint of lilac. it isn't a purple / true lilac color like expected, since it isn't a common formula in western makeup, but the lilac tint to it makes t...
Camo Liquid Blush - Shade Bold-Faced Lilac
 
maya profile picture
THE blush to have in your makeup kit. genuinely, there is no excuse to not own it already: pigmented, long lasting (on skin and product-wise), and a variety of shades available. the shade hope remains my favorite since it is neutral-cool toned and qu...

the shade happy, more saturated, remains a cool toned staple among my liquid blushes collection.
RARE BEAUTY | Soft Pinch - Blush liquide - Shade Happy
 
maya profile picture
i've been looking for this kind of shade for a while. a deep purple that turns into a lilac / pink with a hint of purple on the cheek… the cool toned person's need.
RARE BEAUTY | Soft Pinch Liquid Blush - Shade Spirited
 
maya profile picture
blends like butter on skin, totally buildable with a sheer finish. I prefer the shade glassy lilac for cool undertones because it doesn't lean neutral like the shade glassy hibiscus from the same range (even though I also love that one).
Color Fuse Glassy Blush Balm Stick - Shade Glassy Lilac
 
maya profile picture
literally such a cute pink what ??? whatever your skin tone is, you'll look like barbie's lost twin with this. combined with huda's powder and powder blush ? people will ask you if pat mcgrath did your makeup.

cool toned powder blushes ♡

 
maya profile picture
the royalty of all blushes, if i may. hourglass blushes are well known for their satiny, slightly shiny finish without looking too “fake,” offering exactly what you would expect from a (buildable) blush and highlighter combined. the Ethereal Glow sha...
Ambient™ Lighting Blush - Shade Ethereal Glow
 
maya profile picture
a saturated blush that will suit just anybody who isn't too muted in terms of skin tone, as it could appear a bit harsh. otherwise, be gentle when you apply because it is HIGHLY pigmented !
KIKO Milano Smart Colour Blush - Shade 11 / Orchid
 
maya profile picture
it's no surprise that this blush is on this list. since its release, it has become a drugstore blush staple and deserves its place here. well-pigmented, this blush in shade 02 / butta cup is indeed a blush with cool undertones, quite saturated and bu...
NYX Buttermelt Blush - Powder Blush - Shade 02 / Butta Cup

a neutral-leaning cool blush for those with a deeper skin tone or the ones who do not want a pink blush but who want to keep it cool (no pun intended) and would rather wear something mauvy.
Murumuru Butter Blush - Shade Saucy Mauve
 
maya profile picture
a delicate pink that's buildable, offering a nice light pink sheer to the skin. not the most pigmented though ! perfect if you just want a little pop of color.
Happy Booster™ Blush - Shade Rose

cool toned bronzers ♡

i know, a bronzer can't technically be cool toned. but in this section, you'll find bronzers that, in my opinion, will add the right amount of contrast too your skin without looking to warm or clashing with you cool undertone. keep also in mind that ...

 
maya profile picture
the most well known bronzer in the world for a reason. since I don't wear a lot of bronzer and always go for something very natural (something too orange or too brown can look bad on me since I have a fully cool undertone), the shade light is perfect...
Hoola Bronzer - Benefit Cosmetics - Shade Light
 
maya profile picture
a great buildable and affordable bronzer. the lightest shade is considered to be a neutral, but i can personally make it work on my skin tone ! build it slowly with a big brush to avoid that orange heavy look. obviously, you won't turn orange, but it...

MAC Lip Pencil - Shade Stone
 
maya profile picture
this shade of pink has a lot of blue pigments in it, making it a true cool pink ! though, it will suit more lighter skin tones as it can look a bit bright on darker skin. tired of brownish pinks ? don't worry, this one is definitely for you. and if i...

a light cool pink that is the perfect high-end topper for all your cool-toned lip combos. i would actually prefer that over the shade 44 - nude lavalliere for a true cool lip combo. it's also the perfect pink n*de for your no makeup-makeup days (if y...

Yves Saint Laurent Loveshine Lip Oil Stick - Shade 44 Nude Lavalliere
 
maya profile picture
it's what i'd call: the fall baddie high-end lipstick. a rosy-brown n*de that'll give you this slightly edgy yet comforting look to your lips. neutral, but well suited for cool undertones, especially people with darker skin. beautiful.
Yves Saint Laurent Loveshine Lip Oil Stick - Shade 206 Spicy Affair
 
maya profile picture

Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick - Shade Shimmering Fu$$y
 
maya profile picture
it can be hard to find a true cool toned red lipstick when you have cool undertones. the shade the mvp is, as said by FENTY, a blue-red lipstick. adding blue is, according to color theory, the way to make a shade lean more cool. you can purchase it w...

the shade cool teddy follows the shade velvet teddy and warm teddy in MAC's teddy collection. this one remains a n*de brown, but cooler than the other two (obviously).

PhD Hybrid Lip Oil - Shade Sheer Pink
 
maya profile picture
the iconic fu$$y shade ! I unironically purchased it because ariana grande wore it at the swt, and it turns out that it is now one of my most loved (and used) everyday glosses, but not too boring thanks to the  glitter it has. also gifted it to one of my bestfriends and she wears it everyday !

maya profile picture
if you are a winter or a cool summer (or even a “true cool” like me regarding of 23 palettes color analysis system), this shade will be pretty on you. it is a deep-cool dark pink, quite saturated that's gonna be perfect for everyday wear & night.

a tinted topper gloss that will add a nice touch of lilac to your lip combo. i'm adding it to this list specifically because of the lilac tint… that makes it completely cool (no pun intended).
Gloss Bomb Oil Luminizing Lip Oil 'N Gloss - Shade Miss Jellyfish
 
maya profile picture
I picked it for the color (a pinky lilac as NYX says on their website), but it DOES burn your lips and make them more plump. be ready for a nice lilac on your lips AND them getting bigger temporarily. is the burning sensation worth it ? you'll tell m...

I like the shade Strike A Rose since it's a nice brighter pink, but still cool toned and wearable. it DOES burn your lips and make them more plump. be ready for a nice pink on your lips AND them getting bigger temporarily. is the burning sensation wo...
