Autumn 2011 Lookbook: Maybelline Scene on the Runway Collection, “Must Have Mauve” Lipstick, Photographs & Swatches

 

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,

 

 

Must Have Mauve is a light mauve-pink lipstick shade. I was extremely curious how this translated from the tube to my lips because it reminded me a lot of shades like MAC’s Viva Glam Gaga and MAC’s Nicki Minaj inspired lipstick, “Pink Friday,” only with a mauve-purple tone to it. While I love both of those lipsticks, I tend to have to layer them because they can look too milky, light, and cool-toned against my skin tone alone. I was pleasantly surprised how flattering this shade was against my skin tone. It is definitely a milky mauve-pink shade since it is light, but it’s a nice change from the usual beige-nude lip.

 

 

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!

 

 

Maybelline’s “Scene on the Runway” Collection is limited edition and contains four eyeshadow palettes, blushes, nail polishes, and lipsticks. This collection is currently being sold at drugstores and mass retailers nationwide.
