VIOLA ROUGE Clean Beauty Lipsticks

About Viola Rouge

VIOLA ROUGE is a clean beauty brand that makes eye cream shadows and clean formula lipsticks.

Ever try a recommended color cosmetic that is supposed to be a flattering color for you, but it just isn’t?  VIOLA ROUGE knows color matching involves more than just your skintone.

VIOLA ROUGE considers your skintone and more importantly the pigment and the UNDERTONE. Undertone is a combination of hereditary and environmental factors that together impact what looks best on your skin. VIOLA ROUGE empowers your beauty decisions with their SKIN TONE & UNDERTONE GLOSSARY to best understand your unique coloring.

Take the Viola Rouge Pick Your Favorite Shade quiz to see what would work best for you.

Ingredients

---

Organic blueberry seed oil

Blueberry Flower lipstick uses Organic blueberry seed oil to minimize fine lines on lips. It promotes skin elasticity for firmer, youthful skin.

Black Cumin Seed Oil comes from the seeds of this flower

Black Cumin seed oil

Black Cumin Seed Oil is featured in the shade Status Symbol.  Black Cumin Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the flower Nigella sativa, commonly called virgin in the green flower. Black Cumin Seed Oil locks in moisture. It is also an excellent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant.

Camellia

Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil

Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil revitalizes skin, smooths rough skin patches, and repairs the skin barrier.

Castor Seed

Castor Seed Oil

Castor Seed Oil is a humectant that moisturizes the skin.

Castor Seed Oil has a mildly plumping action on lips without stinging.

It reduces inflammation, heals scars, and hydrates. Castor Seed Oil is rich in vitamins and fatty acids to nourish.

Saffron

Saffron flower extract diminishes hyperpigmentation. Saffron also protects against UV radiation.

Rice Bran

Rice Bran Extract

Rice Bran Oil is a gentle anti-inflammatory oil that promotes hydration. It is a vital source of vitamins A, B2, B1, squalene, and two types of Vitamin E. This combo can hydrate, heal and soften skin while making scars and burns more pliable. It is high in fatty acids including Omega 6 and 9, both of which give skin a healthy glow.

It is rich in ferulic acid (used in facial creams to support Vitamin C), plus inositol and gamma oryzanol, anti-oxidants, and nourishing moisturizers. [1] Rice bran evens out skin tone and reduces dark spots. [2] It is excellent for tackling lip lines and wrinkles [3] that often belie age.

Shea Butter

Shea Butter treats acne scars, including cystic acne dark scars. Shea can feed the skin and overhaul the skin texture, even on deep burns.

Sunflower

Sunflower Extract

Sunflower is hydrating and nourishing. It functions as a lipid buffer and retains moisture in the skin. Rich in vitamin E, it can repair damaged skin. [4]

Rosemary

Rosemary Leaf Extract

Rosemary Extract combats dry skin. It naturally protects skin from sun damage and free radicals. It also has natural antiseptic properties and is a gentle exfoliant for dead skin flakes.

Rosemary Extract is soothing and helps reduce puffiness and lightens dark spots.

It is stimulating and promotes better blood circulation to deliver the nutrients necessary to build collagen, elastin and to encourage scar repair.

Safflower

Safflower Seed Oil

Safflower Oil is high in Omegas 3, 6, and 9. It hydrates dry skin, soothes irritation, and enhances skin texture and appearance. It delays premature aging, tightens and brightens the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E softens skin texture and reduces acne scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable.

Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred, or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic.

Jojoba Seeds

Jojoba Esters

Jojoba removes impurities and flakes, reduces inflammation, and soothes skin. Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats.

Jojoba gives elasticity and softness to the skin.  Jojoba is a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients.

THE EXPERIENCE

Thanks to the VIOLA ROUGE Pick Your Perfect Shade Quiz, I found two lipsticks that are perfect for my skin tone. I can’t count the number of lipsticks I have tried over the years trying to find a shade like Blueberry Flower, but as soon as I applied it I knew it was what I have been looking for. The same is true of Status Symbol. Having found two shades that are an exact match for my skin’s undertones, I can’t wait to try the others that the quiz recommended for me!

The texture is silky, weightless, and glides on evenly and with precision.

It is transfer-resistant and long-wearing, but not at all drying. Quite the contrary in fact: I found it exceptionally hydrating all day long without the need to reapply.

Blueberry flower lipstick is a deep fuchsia pink with a satin finish. It works for Pink, Blue, & Olive skin undertones.
