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.
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
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
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
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 ♡
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
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...
RARE BEAUTY | Soft Pinch - Liquid Blush - Shade Hope
the shade encourage will suit everyone: a neutral pink is always perfect ! it just WORKS for cool undertones.
RARE BEAUTY | Soft Pinch Liquid Blush - Shade Encourage
the shade happy, more saturated, remains a cool toned staple among my liquid blushes collection.
RARE BEAUTY | Soft Pinch - Blush liquide - Shade Happy
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
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
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.
Blush Filter | HUDA BEAUTY - Shade Bubblegum
cool toned powder blushes ♡
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
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
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
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 ...
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
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...
Buttermelt Bronzer - Shade Buttercup
cool toned lip liners ♡
my new favorite cool toned dark brown lip liner ! as you can see on my picture it is perfect to complete any lip combo you want. I never got to try the og Los Angeles shade, but this one is perfect for me.
Suede Matte Lip Liner - Shade 37 / Los Angeles 2.0

MAC Lip Pencil - Shade Stone
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...
MAC Lip Pencil - Shade Edge To Edge
whirl is the classic dirty rose that you need for the days you want something that is still cool toned yet more muted and that goes with everything. what i love the most about it ? it suits every skin tone !
MAC Lip Pencil - Shade Whirl
have you ever seen a lip liner color that was this precisely crafted before ? not me. the perfect lip liner for your cat woman dreams. kind of a “dark feminine” true cool toned dark lip liner. with a deep red or deep plum lipstick and / or gloss on t...
MAC Lip Pencil - Shade Nightmoth
nightmoth's little sister. less intense, but still a staple if you like dark contour on your lips. and yes, cool toned as always.
MAC Lip Pencil - Shade Plum
cool toned lipsticks ♡
THIS is my type of shade. a delicate mauve that almost looks lilac but still has that pink pigment to it ? if you know, you know. the YSL formulation is perfect as expected, making this the long lasting cool toned mauve you need if you like this fami...
Yves Saint Laurent Loveshine Lip Oil Stick - Shade 203 Blushed Mallow
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...

an iconic n*de by YSL ! if you want a high-end lipstick that'll last, it's your pick. the color is super versatile, this pink being the cool toned luxury you might need for you next date or night-out lip combo (or just if you want to feel like your b...
Yves Saint Laurent Loveshine Lip Oil Stick - Shade 44 Nude Lavalliere
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
I LOVE this color ! run to your closest KIKO store or click on this link while this limited edition is still available. the shade life in pink is a delicate mauve, perfect for summers (as in color analysis) or just anybody who's looking for the perfe...

the one I was wearing on my birthday: i could eat and drink all day without any problems, it doesn't move. NYX offers a variety of shades for this product so check it out ! on another note: the click stick format is actually quite practical since it'...

a pretty light very saturated pink with glitter. it is time to revive those barbie dreams of ours. what's better for such endeavor than wearing this shade ? visual heaven to me.
Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick - Shade Shimmering Flamingo Fling
a gloss in a stick that applies like a lipstick, and in the iconic fu$$y shade ? heck yes !
Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick - Shade Shimmering Fu$$y
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...
Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick - Shade The MVP
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).

you cannot find a lipstick that is more lilac & cheap than this one. no seriously, you can't. this is THE cool toned lilac lipstick. you cannot go wrong with it !
Silk Finish Lipstick - Shade Will You Be With Me?
hands down my favorite KIKO lipstick. and i mean the color AND the collection. this one will seduce anybody with a fully cool undertone, or someone who's craving a 90s inspired lip. the perfect pink nude for cool undertones. the stick is creamy, with...
Gossamer Emotion Creamy Lipstick - Shade 140
a cool, light pink that's very flashy. it won't be for everyone, but for the few it suits, it will be perfect. definitely not a nude shade due to its overly cool and bright tones, but it will be great for a lip combo inspired by the early 2000s.
Gossamer Emotion Creamy Lipstick - Shade 119
this deep mauve is halfway between fuchsia and dark purple. it's still a bold shade, but I find it quite easy to wear ! it will be perfect for those with cool undertones and high contrast.
Gossamer Emotion Creamy Lipstick - Shade 142
i don't know why, but this color reminds me of the Winx club (maybe Flora ?). it's a cool pink/purple with medium saturation, which i imagine would look great with a pastel outfit. maybe not a lipstick for everyday wear, but when you do wear it, it m...
Gossamer Emotion Creamy Lipstick 125
a 90s inspired lipstick. if you like brown or if you just want a late 20th century lip combo… i believe this is the best pick from this collection. i own the lip liner of the same shade (creamy colour comfort lip liner in the shade 21 - cinnamon hone...
Gossamer Emotion Creamy Lipstick - Shade 137
the brightest red of their collection. i'd call that a true red, this could suit everyone. not too cold or too warm… well, universal. combining this shade with the creamy texture of this lipstick and the satin finish… you'll rock a bare face or minim...
Gossamer Emotion Creamy Lipstick - Shade 115
now if your thing is a toasted makeup look, or if you prefer a brownish-nude on your lips… the shade 136 will seduce you. KIKO called it “sesame crunch” and i believe this is the perfect representation of that delicate neutral nude i personally pictu...
Gossamer Emotion Creamy Lipstick - Shade 136
a cool toned pink that is slightly less mauvy than the shade 140. if you're going for a total pink look or lip combo, this lipstick will absolutely do it. it is THE true pink of the gossamer emotion creamy lipstick collection.
Gossamer Emotion Creamy Lipstick - Shade 102

Dior Lip Glow Oil - Shade Raspberry
cool toned lip oils will always have a pink or lilac tint to them… this one is one of them ! haus labs never misses
PhD Hybrid Lip Oil - Shade Sheer Pink
the iconic fu$$y shade ! I unironically purchased it because ariana grande wore it at the swt, and it turns out that it is now one of my most loved (and used) everyday glosses, but not too boring thanks to the glitter it has. also gifted it to one of my bestfriends and she wears it everyday !
Gloss Bomb Oil Luminizing Lip Oil 'N Gloss - Shade Fu$$y
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.
Gloss Bomb Oil Luminizing Lip Oil 'N Gloss - Shade Razzberry Jamz
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
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...
Duck Plump LipGloss - Shade 10 / Lilac On Lock
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...

for the fair and light skin tone girls, don't worry, you too have your party shimmery cool toned pink gloss from this collection ! not as vibrant as the shade berried treasure, the shade sinless is basically the same, but with a lighter and more mute...

Neutral 42 Colour Palette - Beauty Bay
the smaller version of the neutral 42 colour palette. i brought this one with me on vacation and managed to do such pretty everyday and smokey eye makeups with it ! it doesn't have any shimmer shade, but an highlighter will replace that just fine. if...

i love this mini-palette. all the shades are 100% cool toned: from the milky white to the dark brown. it's perfect used as a whole to create a gradient and shimmery look, or just as a pick-one-or-two shades for more simple eye looks. pigmented and fe...
The Wine Down Gilded Mini Eyeshadow Palette - Milani
everyday smoky bear its name well: the variety of shimmery and matte shades makes it a good palette to create a variety of day and night looks. i like that there are two shades that ressembles a brown / taupe.
