Best Nude Lipsticks for Canadian Women of Every Skin Tone

Cheekbone Beauty is not only Indigenous-owned and made in Canada, it includes biodegradable packaging (the first step in its goal to be the first carbon-neutral beauty brand). Bonus: their products like this lipstick, all have meaningful and thought-provoking names like Kéyah or KEE YAH, meaning land or earth in Dine Bizaad or Navajo Language.

A line focusing on diversity, MFMG’s Naked lipstick is a peachy-nude color formulated with shea butter that you can wear with or without a liner. A color that will fit you right the first time. You also won’t find any of the typical nasties, including parabens, triclosan or formaldehyde.

Another MFMG, Birthday Suit is a deep, rich colour intended for higher pigmented skin. We love it also for the thought-provoking name… “If you do a quick search for ‘Birthday Suit’ in the makeup aisle, you will find mostly pale pinks and beige colors.”
