Our Story
As a Canadian woman of Indian ethnicity, I struggled to find a great nude lipstick ALWAYS or see a model that looked like me. There was a definite lack of representation in the industry and I was always mixing together shades to find one that worked for me. I'd often get asked "what shade is that?" and never really have an answer to that question. I would always talk about how this was such a problem and one day I just had a light bulb moment... why not fix it? After 2 long years of research, saving up money to start and trying to find a lab to work with, I received an email from a lab in Toronto who decided to give me a shot after countless back and forth. This is how Lady Burgundy began and to be honest when the first 5 shades for the Lips x Matte collection launched, I bawled my eyes out. And now when I scroll through the website I'm at a loss for words at how far we've come. It's been quite the journey and I thank you all for the love and support so many of you have shown Lady Burgundy.
