Did you know that when you wear lipstick, you can ingest up to 87 milligrams of it every day?¹ This cosmetic product often contains controversial ingredients, yet many of us apply it to our lips while blissfully unaware of the potential health risks. If you want to wear makeup on your lips, it’s essential that you choose products made with natural ingredients.

Absolution offers a range of high-quality, vegan, certified-organic lipsticks, formulated with naturally derived ingredients that really care for your lips. Not only do they make you look good and feel good, they’re also good for the planet!

Thebest organic lipsticks have excellent staying power. Thanks to ingredients such as Castor Oil and Carnauba Wax, they adhere to the lips well without drying them out. If you want your lipstick to last longer and stand up to anything, prepare your lips well by nourishing them regularly with a moisturizing repairing balm that really cares for the lips. 

Conventional lipsticks may contain the following harmful ingredients:

Mineral oils derived from petrochemicals, as well as synthetic fragrances – which often contain phthalates – should also be avoided in a product for daily use.

Absolution’s lipsticks are formulated with 96% naturally derived ingredients, including 27% organic ingredients. They’re rich in botanical oils and plant butters such as apricot, shea, castor, jojoba and sunflower. These active ingredients work together in synergy, providing softening and nourishing properties.

As a result, your lip makeup becomes, to a certain extent, a moisturizing skincare product. Calendula and centella asiatica extracts provide soothing and repairing benefits. Absolution lipsticks also contain natural waxes, rich in Vitamin A, which protect your lips and help fight daily aggressors. So, you have all the ingredients for beautiful lips, but above all, hydrated lips!

If you want your lipstick to deliver both radiant color and staying power, there are strict rules to follow! Read on to find out the best way to apply lipstick

Prepping the lips is essential! Begin by exfoliating with a gentle scrub to remove any dead skin cells. There’s no need to do this on a daily basis, as you could end up damaging your skin. Just exfoliate your lips lightly every ten days or so. 

Next, moisturize your lips with a nourishing balm to keep them soft. If you wish, you can apply lip liner before your lipstick. Also known as a lip crayon or lip pencil, it defines the shape of your lips and prevents your lipstick from bleeding or feathering. Now your lips are ready for lipstick application!

If you ask this question to a professional makeup artist, they’ll probably let you into a secret: they prefer to apply lipstick with a brush. Why? Because you get more precision – it’s as simple as that. Use a brush to apply your lipstick in several fine layers, letting each one dry before you apply the next. This method ensures you get both intense color and long-lasting wear, and can be used no matter what kind of shade you apply, from nude to bold!  

If you want a simpler technique, just use your fingers or apply lipstick directly to your lips for a very natural-looking result.

Absolution offers a range of lipsticks, with six shades, going from nude to pink to red, so there’s something for every mood and occasion.

Absolution has reworked its formulas to make them vegan, more glossy, and free from beeswax. The Malaga and Brun de Mars shades are 100% natural, while the Cerise shade is made with safe synthetic pigments to give a radiant color, and contains 98% naturally derived ingredients.
