9 Best Mauve Lipsticks You Should Try This Season
The revival of the mauve ’90s lip is a trend we welcomed back with enthusiasm.
The rose-purple color became popular quickly because of how versatile and flattering it looks on all skin tones. Mauve is bold enough to warm up your daytime office makeup and then subtle enough to pair with your night-out smoky eye.
In 2014, Kylie Jenner reminded us how versatile and sexy the color can look and it became part of her iconic beauty look. Fast-forward to 2016, and we still can’t get enough of this hue. This interesting shade that falls between nude and purple works well with virtually every skin tone.
Like reds and nudes, mauve comes in a variety of undertones, so you can be sure to get a shade that works well with your skin’s natural coloring. If your skin is fair to light with cool undertones, try a mauve with gray or blue hues. If your skin is medium to dark with warmer undertones, try a mauve that has pink or brown tones to it!
1. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Vernis A Levres Glossy Stain in Naughty Mauve
It’s the mauve lip product for the girl who isn’t yet sure if she likes lipstick, gloss, or lip stain best. This long-lasting product has a highly pigmented liquid formula that distributes easily all over your lips.
2. Revlon’s ColorBurst Lipstick in Mauve
Mauve is a pretty rose that looks pink on deep skin and has an MLBB effect on fair skin. It’s got moisturizing properties aplenty, so you can expect the benefits of a balm on top of a lipstick’s lasting power.
3. Pink Sugar’s Creamy Matte Lipstick in Desire
4. NARS’ Audacious Lipstick
Cult-fave Anna is a deep, floral pink with a semi-matte finish. It’s definitely on the vibrant end of the mauve shade spectrum, which we love.
5. Maybelline’s Color Sensational Lasting Lipcolor in 235 Warm Me Up
Warm Me Up is a sheer mauve pink with just enough shine to make your lips plump up. Wear it during the daytime for a subtle pop of color, but build the color intensity for dinner and drinks.
Mally Beauty High-Shine Liquid Lipstick Pens in Mauve
Packaged in an easy-to-use pen, this mauve hue gives a boost of color with a lip gloss-like finish, allowing you to take one more product out of your makeup bag.
6. e.l.f. Matte Lip Color in Tea Rose
7. City Color’s Matte to Gloss Lipstick in Mauve Dazzle
A mauve that’s more purple than pink and certainly pigmented, Mauve Dazzle will punch up your pucker in two coats.
8. Bobbi Brown Creamy Matte Lip Color in Pink Mauve
The hint of purple in Plum Rose makes it deeper than the average mauve. We’d describe it as a hue that won’t go unnoticed but can still be worn every single day.
9. Alima Pure Lip Tint in Blackberry Sheer Mauve
These lip tints are formulated with helpful ingredients such as olive oil to keep you moisturized and pumpkin seed oil for antioxidant benefits. A darker option than the two above, this berry mauve looks like it would be pretty darn vampy, but it’s just the sheer, summer-friendly version of it.
