Today, we will see Revlon Colorburst Mauve lipstick in action.
When I hear Mauve, I think purple! Purple on my lips?! Eeks! But no. The Revlon Color Burst Mauve lipstick is a rosy shade with a tinge of lilac berry so its quite a cool colour – temperature wise not cool hip 😛 On lips, it looks pretty much as it does in the tube for me.
So mauve on down to see the swatch. hurhur 😛
I wore it in a fairly everyday sort of look because this is a sort of everyday colour lipstick. In fact, this is a colour I started with back in college (from Maybelline) and its still a colour I like wearing.
- Face: Dior Nude Glow Complexion Enhancer, Diorskin Nude liquid foundation, Guerlain Meteorites Nacre des Mers
- Eyes: Prestige single eyeshadows – Verdigris (dark green), Iguana (deep green), Gold, Lancome Virtuose Precious Cells mascara
- Cheeks: Guerlain 4 Eclats Sculpting Blush Rose Plein Vent
I wore this to work, as I do. I kept the overall look on the cool side to match the lip colour and its a lovely everyday sort of lipstick colour that adds a touch of colour to your face yet doesn’t scream out “I’m wearing lipstick! Look at meeee!”
How would you wear Mauve? 🙂

May 25, 2010 at 6:53 pmThese are colours best swatched yourself 🙂 Mauve is a very safe colour for me – its colour yet not super striking.

May 25, 2010 at 5:17 pmMauve looks great on you! Not really my color though 🙁
ParisB says
May 25, 2010 at 6:57 pmNope though Blush should do it for you! 😉
gio says
May 25, 2010 at 5:19 pmThat’s a very pretty shade. I thought it looked kinda boring in the tube, but on the lips, it looks gorgeous! But blush is also very pretty too. 🙂
ParisB says
May 25, 2010 at 6:57 pmThank you Gio – Yes Mauve did kind of surprise me
Isabel says
May 25, 2010 at 6:49 pmI have more or less the same colouring as you and mauve would be something I stick into my handbag and that I carry around at all times. It would be my “to-use-when-I’m-too-lazy-to-think” colour. =P
That makes it kind of boring and would love to try Blush. That might be the perfect nude for me. Most nudes make me look washed out.
ParisB says
May 25, 2010 at 6:58 pmSame! I don’t usually wear nude or neutral lipsticks because they make me look terrible. Blush worked because there is a rosy tint. Otherwise, for a touch of colour, Mauve does it fine 🙂
