As promised, here is a quick bonus post with the results of our extremely unserious investigation! Thank you so much to everyone who submitted votes on my “what is mauve” post. There was a surprising amount of agreement that that mauve is a muted pink-purple with some grey that sometimes leans brown but is never orange. Below you’ll find the products and shade names, as well as a summary of the votes.
In this post, all links are affiliate links (thank you for your support!), but all opinions are my own. Swatches are under a ring light to show true to color (photo #1) and then standard lighting to show the formula a little better (#2) for all the products.
The winner by a landslide is #14, Risky Blur-Rush Stick in Mauvement with 18 votes! In second place, is #3 Chanel Rouge Coco Longwear Satin Lipstick in 102 Flying Cloud with 13 votes. And in a surprising upset (to me, anyway!) is that #1 Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow in Mauve and #7 Victoria Beckham Beauty Posh Lipstick in Pose are tied with 10 votes each. This all started because I didn’t think the Makeup by Mario eyeshadow was very mauve, and Pose is one of my all time favorite lipsticks in this color range.
Seven products received zero votes, including six with mauve in their shade names.
