Maybelline’s “Scene on the Runway” Collection is limited edition for Fall 2011, and includes this lipstick, Must Have Mauve. It’s a beautiful milky mauve-purple shade, and I was curious to see how it looked outside of the tube and on my lips. I really love mauve and purple-toned shades for the colder months because not only are they super on-trend right now, but they can make your teeth look whiter and your smile look brighter. To see photographs and swatches,
In the packaging, the lipstick tends to give you the impression it won’t be as light and milky as it applies, but it gives your lips a really nice mauve-purple shade to them that is relatively “nude” in the sense that it will go with a lot of different makeup looks.
The formula was great, as usual, offering moisturizing, shiny color with no stickiness or synthetic scent. I think this lipstick shade would work well with skin tones that fall in the paler range the best, but those with medium and dark skin tones can definitely pull it off as well. Also, you will want to make sure your lips are properly hydrated before wearing this color because the milkiness of the light color will highlight fine lines and any dry skin on your lips. Overall, a very pretty lipstick shade that translates differently from packaging to your lips!
