I am your friendly next door mauve makeup lover! You may recall in recent times I penned a blog post dedicated to mauve lip color. I am not stopping there. Now I am compiling a list of mauve makeup must haves to round out your experience. I am digging through my collection for non-discontinued mauve finds for the eyes, cheeks, and face. After I share and discuss these items, I have a lovely monochromatic makeup look featuring as many of these items as possible. These drugstore and high-end recommendations are all of top quality and worthy of your dollar.
Mauve Makeup Must Haves
Profusion Mauves 10 Shade Palette
I am starting off the mauve makeup must haves with the perfect palette. Meet the Profusion Mauves 10 Shade Palette. This drugstore beauty is super affordable at $5, yet the pans are huge, and the quality and pigmentation is shocking. Do not sleep on any of these small Profusion palettes! You get a mixture of mattes and shimmers that are velvety and easy to work with. There is one true mauve plus a variety of shades that compliment each other well.
Physicians Formula Rose All Play Eyeshadow Bouquet
Second is the Physicians Formula Rose All Play Eyeshadow Bouquet. It plays with rose hues, which includes mauves, deep pinks, and neutrals. You can even seen its resemblance to the Profusion palette in a way that it almost extends the shade range. Not to mention, how beautiful this palette is.
Laura Geller Multitasking Eye Lip Cheek Palette in Shades of Mauve
Third is the Laura Geller Multitasking Eye Lip Cheek Palette in Shades of Mauve. This is a cream-to-powder palette that can be used on the eyes, lips, and cheeks. I prefer to use the first two shades as cream blush, and the final shade as a cream highlight. What I do is I apply the blush with a stipple brush, and the highlighter with my finger. This formula is easy to build up to get the right amount of glow or blush without any clown face. I accidentally applied these over powder one time, and this product still looks good! I do refute the cream-to-powder claim a bit. This product will stay slightly tacky on the face, never fully drying down to a powder. Because of that, I would not use these on the eye for fear of creasing, but the lips will be fine. Ultimately, I really like using this as a cream blush/highlight palette.

wet n wild megaglo Hello Halo Blushlighter in Flash Me
Fourth is the wet n wild megaglo Hello Halo Blushlighter in Flash Me. These duo palettes contain a blush and highlight shade. You can also use the highlight as a blush topper, yet the blush is pretty sparkly itself. The highlight shade in Flash Me is much too dark for fair skin, but the blush is the perfect shade of mauve. Get ready to glow and sparkle!
Huda Beauty New Nude Eyeshadow Palette
Fifth is a high-end palette option, which is the Huda Beauty New Nude Eyeshadow Palette. It really combines the best of the Profusion and the Physicians Formula palettes, and then puts them on steroids. From mauve pink, to deep rosy hues, neutrals, glitters, shimmers, and even a cream concealer base, all pink fans need this palette. You will get so much use out of this palette outside of mauve looks.

elf Luminous Blush in Brilliant Mauve
Continuing on with the mauve makeup must haves is the elf Luminous Blush in Brilliant Mauve. This is a deeper mauve pink hue that pulls closer to a red. This blush line is all about super shimmery blush.
Eye & Lip
I am ending the mauve makeup must haves product list with three quick items.
- Laura Geller Waterproof Eye Spackle Hues in Mauve Majesty: This is a cream eyeshadow that serves a dual purpose of being an eyeshadow primer and an eyeshadow itself. It features a brush tip applicator. This product dries down to be fully matte and it does not budge/crease/fade! It absolutely works well as a primer and as an eyeshadow.
- Revlon Colorstay Longwear Lip Liner in Mauve: This deep mauve lip liner applies smoothly without tugging and lasts all day with a matte finish.
- wet n wild perfectpout Gel Lip Liner in Lay Down the Mauves: This gel mauve lip liner also applies smoothly without tugging and lasts all day with a normal finish.

I LOVE Mauves too. For a LONG time I couldnt get enough purples but now I adore mauves. I guess since Im in my 50s now.
Mauves are beautiful at any age! For some reason I’ve never gotten into purples. Not just with makeup, but with fashion too. Nothing against the color lol
