REVIEW Madame Gabriela Beauty lipstick: a clean beauty cosmetic with a luxury vibe. Read our experience and a full report on the ingredients in this lipstick.
Many of us seek clean skincare and eat healthily. But do we still slather our lips with chemical-laden lipstick? Probably because many “clean” lipsticks leave much to be desired in texture, color choice, and packaging. So we are pleased to introduce a brand that caters to our desire for a luxe lipstick with clean ingredients. This brand is Madame Gabriela Beauty. It has an exceptionally smooth finish held in a sleek and chic lipstick case.
Madame Gabriela Clean Luxury Lipsticks
Brand Overview: Madame Gabriela Beauty
Madame Gabriela Beauty is a clean-cosmetic lipstick with ingredients typically found in skincare or a luxe lip treatment. It is an ingredient-driven lipstick that has a luxury lipstick look, texture and feel.
There is much to say about this lipstick range: the experience, the shades, the wear, and our a full ingredient profile. These lipsticks are truly 100% clean.*
Madame Gabriela Beauty Clean Luxury, High-Performance, Ingredient Driven Lipsticks
The Madame Gabriela Lipstick Experience
I love natural lipstick but I am frequently disappointed with shade selection and texture.
Many clean and natural lip cosmetics are, in our opinion, overly brown or yellow-based hues. These muted shades are lovely on redheads and warmer skin tones, but they don’t work as well with fairer or pink-based undertones. At least not for us.
Natural ingredient lipsticks also tend to be very waxy and dry or overly soft and runny. I require high performance and definition.
So we were delighted to discover Madame Gabriela Beauty has mastered high performance, clean lippies in cooler tones with impressive color payout.
And these lipsticks have such a smooth, silky finish.
We were particularly impressed that Madame Gabriela Beauty lipsticks use ONLY ingredients that are clean and safe but are cleverly formulated so that there are no compromises in quality. The texture is excellent.

They are not waxy or watery. They have good wear time and don’t make my lips look or feel dry. There is no compromise to achieve a clean beauty lip product.

Madame Gabriela Lipstick New York at 1 PM
Madame Gabriela New York at 1 PM is a cheery blue base pink.
A classic wearable pink is hard to find. I am always attracted to pink lipsticks, but rarely find the shade I like on my lips.
This shade has color payout without appearing too garish. It is not Shocking Schiaparelli pink, but it is not ballerina bare or teenage bubble gum either. Polished and glam like its’ namesake. Madame Gabriela New York at 1 PM is a bright cheery pink perfect for spring and summer.

What is in Madame Gabriela Lipstick? Ingredient Analysis
Manuka Honey

Sesame Seed Oil softens the skin. Rich in linoleic acid, vitamins A an E, it rids the skin of dry flakes. Sesame Oil is ideal for sensitive, irritated lip skin.
Sesame Seed Oil has a very thick and rich texture. It absorbs exceptionally well and seeps into the skin, making it soft and silky.
Cocoa Seed

Organic Sunflower Seed Oil Sunflower is hydrating, nourishing and an excellent “supporting” oil base.
It retains moisture in the skin and is rich in vitamin E.

A combination of two natural oils that provide a soft and smooth finish and help form a “film” for product staying power.
Bambusa Arundinacea (Bamboo) Stem Extract
Bamboo Stem Extract has flavones, a source of natural antioxidants. Since the skin on lips is a major target of oxidative stress, the antioxidant protection provided by bamboo extract is excellent within this formulation.[4]
Bamboo extract contains glycosides, phenolic acids, and amino acids. These hold skin nourishing and soothing properties.
Bamboo extract is also hydrating, supporting other ingredients like Manuka Honey.[5, 6]
Thyme in bloom
Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Leaf*

Collagen production is especially important on lips that quickly show age and deflate with time.
