And do you know a better everyday MAC lipstick to wear than a beautiful mauve brown or mauve pink shade?

I’ve written quite a bit about some of the best MAC mauve lipsticks and lip liners here and there.

You’ve been able to read about a few amazing MAC Mehr lipstick and lip liner combinations, and all the matching lipsticks for the Soar lip liner as well.

Lately, I’ve been diving deep into colors, though.

Some of the best winter MAC lipstick shades are mauve.

Yet, with my fair olive skin tone (NW15 to NW20 when I tan), I feel like this color looks absolutely beautiful whatever the time of the year.

I guess there used to be a time when the season used to be especially important, above all when you felt like purchasing a new MAC maroon lipstick for fall or winter.

But from what I’ve seen, mauve has become one of the most-worn everyday lipstick colors.

As for me, I fell in love with mauve lipsticks for the first time with the Inglot matte lipstick in 411.

This one is actually a perfect dupe for MAC Soar lipstick, and in time, I’ve kept looking for more beautiful mauve lipsticks from every brand possible.

In this guide, you’ll see some of the most famous MAC mauve lipstick shades like Soar, Mehr and You Wouldn’t Get It.

They’re some of the best MAC matte lipsticks for fair skin, olive skin, Indian skin, and anyone with warm undertones, really.

But as usual, I really wanted to show you some new things as well.

So, if you’re not used to the Love Me lipsticks or the Powder Kiss lipsticks, now’s the time to discover some of the most beautiful MAC mauve lipstick shades from these ranges as well!

Deep mauvey pink

The Love Me lipsticks were released a few years ago, in 2019, if I remember well, and they provide some of the best everyday MAC lipstick colors for all skin tones.

In this guide, I won’t only show you some of the best MAC mauve lipstick shades as in, purely, truly mauve pink.

I also want to share some brownish shades that look amazing from Indian skin to dark skin.

One of them is Coffee & Cigs, which we’ll see later, but the first one I wanted to share is the As If I Care lipstick.

You’ve got one of the purest and best mauve MAC lipsticks with As If I Care, with a slight tinge of red. It’s easy to wear on medium skin, fair skin, and even Asian skin.

Asian skin tones are not those I would apply mauve lipstick on from the get-go; I prefer applying peach, coral, or some reddish brown lipsticks on Asian people.

However. the MAC As If I Care lipstick is still very wearable and beautiful on Asian skin, so that’s something to try.

Pair it with Half Red, Plum, Soar, or Mahogany – or even Chestnut to create a deeper contrast between the lipstick and the lip liner.

Mid-tone cool mauve

If you think about the best MAC mauve lipstick color, chances are you’ll think of the Soar lipstick.

It was released a few years ago along with Down to An Art and You Wouldn’t Get It, two wonderful everyday nude lipstick shades for most skin tones.

The Soar lip liner is perfect with the Soar lipstick, but if you’re looking for a more interesting combination, I’d probably apply the Nightmoth, the Cork lip liner, or the Chestnut lip liner with Soar.

And if you don’t want to get Chestnut because of the price, there are plenty of cool MAC Chestnut lip liner dupes available!

A real, true winter MAC mauve lipstick, and perfect for all times of the year for medium to dark skin tones.

Mid-tone mauve pink

If you ask me about the most iconic MAC lipstick shades, I’d have to say Mehr.

I’ve written a full post about the best MAC Mehr lipstick and lip liner combos, because indeed, there are plenty that can give you interesting results.

And in my opinion, it’s truly one of the most beautiful pink lipsticks MAC Cosmetics has ever created in my opinion.

It looks beautiful on its own with black eyeliner, but to make things even more interesting, a bit of blue eyeshadow looks incredible with the Mehr lipstick.

The mauve shade of the Mehr lipstick is more on the blue, cool-toned side.

That means that if you’re looking for the best MAC lipsticks for olive skin tones, it looks perfect.

Two of the most famous lip pencils that go with Mehr are Soar and the Whirl lip liner, and they look incredible combined to create that super wearable, everyday combination.

Best MAC Matte Mauve Lipstick: Kinda Soar-Ta

Mid-tone cool mauve

Kinda Soar-Ta is one of the newest MAC Powder Kiss lipsticks.

It’s roughly the same color as the Soar lipstick, but since the matte finish is more powdery and glides more, Kinda Soar-Ta is much more comfortable.

If you’d like for your lipsticks to last longer, I always recommend investing in the Prep + Prime for lips, as it makes all lipsticks more comfortable.

Especially in the case of the Retro Matte lipsticks like Ruby Woo.

They tend to drag a lot when you apply them – but if you’d like the lipstick to stay in place all day, it’s a perfect product.

Kinda Soar-Ta is perfect on Indian skin tones, tan Asian skin, fair, medium, dark and olive skin tones.

Basically, if you’ve found that the Soar lipstick looks good on you, it’s another one of the MAC mauve lipstick shades you can go for.

Deep mauvey nude

Hey, Frenchie! is the second one of the MAC mauve lipstick colors from the Love Me Lipstick range, and it’s one of the most wearable in this entire guide.

The Love Me Lipstick range provides some really pigmented, hydrating, and long-lasting lipsticks, and Hey, Frenchie! is no exception to that rule.

It looks perfect with the Soar lip liner around the edges, but you can also use the Whirl lip liner or something darker, like Half Red or Plum to complement it.

Hey, Frenchie! is one of the MAC mauve lipstick colors which look perfect on pale and fair skin, whether you’re Indian or Caucasian.

Truthfully, it is also fabulous on medium, dark, and Asian skin tones.

One of the most perfect MAC mauve pink lipstick shades, super versatile and wearable on a daily basis.

What I’d do is apply some shimmery olive eyeshadow with Hey, Frenchie!, just a bit of mauve blush and mascara, and we’re good to go.

Best Mauve MAC Lipstick: You Wouldn’t Get It

Midtone pink

I remember when the MAC You Wouldn’t Get It lipstick was released; I wore it time and time again, and I just couldn’t let go of it.

This is in my opinion one of the best MAC mauve lipstick shades for fair skin tones: whether you have fair skin with cool or warm undertones, Indian skin, or even medium skin.

You Wouldn’t Get It is seemingly the little brother of the Mehr lipstick, and I’m here for it.

It’s part of the Matte lipstick range, which means the color really is fully pigmented and long-lasting.

It’s also utterly beautiful whether you choose to wear it on its own, with some Lipglass in Clear on top, or with a lip liner combo!

Greyish brown

Now, Coffee & Cigs from the Love Me Lipstick range is one of the more mauve brown lipsticks from MAC Cosmetics.

Honestly, I was debating whether to include it in this guide, but this kind of greige mauve lipstick vibe is way too interesting to dismiss.

I could literally have included it in my guide to the best MAC brown lipsticks as well, but I thought that the mauve tinge in the Coffee & Cigs lipstick was way too pinkish to leave it aside.

If you’re looking for the best fall and winter MAC lipsticks, it’s probably one of the most underrated.

Wear it with a cool-toned lip liner like Plum, Half Red, or Chestnut, and it will look absolutely beautiful.

I’d recommend it for pale skin, medium skin, and dark skin with warm or cool undertones in combination with some light gold eyeshadow, or even some brighter duochrome eyeshadow to switch things up a bit.

When you start applying it on darker skin tones, you don’t see the greyish side of the color that much.

It just becomes a really beautiful lipstick for medium skin and darker, so if you just want a neutral lipstick to wear on a daily basis, it’s a really interesting shade.

Creamy mid-tone pink brown

Like the Coffee & Cigs lipstick, I could literally have included the Cremesheen lipstick Crème in Your Coffee in my guide to the best brown MAC lipsticks.

However, if you’re looking for some kind of MAC mauve brown lipstick, I feel like it’s a great option to have here.

Whether you have dark skin, very fair skin, Indian skin, or olive skin, I feel like Crème in Your Coffee is the kind of shade that looks good on any skin tone.

Pair it with the Whirl lip liner, the Chestnut lip liner, Stripdown, or, if you want something a bit more colorful, the Plum lip liner.

One of the most hydrating MAC lipsticks, and a beautiful mauve brown color to wear on a daily basis whatever your skin tone, really.

And if you want to create some contrast on the eyes, some navy blue eyeshadow or some electric blue eyeliner could look beautiful!

Best MAC Mauve Lipstick Shades: Faux

Muted mauve-pink

If you’re a MAC Cosmetics fan and have fair skin, you probably already know all about the Faux lipstick.

It’s part of the MAC Satin lipstick range, which means you have full pigmentation, great color payoff, and a lipstick whose shine fades a bit during the day, becoming almost completely matte.

Some of my favorite berry lipsticks, Captive and Amorous, are part of this range, and another one of my absolute favorite brown lipsticks, Paramount, is also a Satin lipstick.

If you want a kind of matte finish but don’t want your lips to dry out too much, these are always my go-to’s.

Now, for a really light MAC mauve pink lipstick, it’s hard to do better than the Faux lipstick.

With my fair olive skin tone at NW15, I have always felt that Faux was just a tad too light, and I prefer wearing Brave when I want the same kind of result.

However, if you have pale to fair skin with warm or cool undertones (something like NC15-NC20), that’s definitely one of the best MAC mauve lipstick shades for you.

And on medium skin tones, boy… One of the most beautiful MAC pink lipsticks for every day.

Best MAC Mauve Pink Lipstick: Fabby

best mac mauve lipstick shades - mac mauve lip liner - best mac mauve pink lipstick - mac mauve brown lipstick - best mauve mac lipstick - best plum mac lipstick - best winter mac lipstick colors - best fall mac lipstick - best everyday mac lipstick for fair skin - best mac nude lipstick for medium skin - best mac mauve purple lipstick for indian skin - best mac lipsticks for dark skin - best dusty rose lipstick - best mac lipstick shades for all skin tones - best everyday mac lipstick nude pink - mac fabby swatch

Mauve w. gold pearl

Fabby is probably one of the lesser-known MAC mauve lipstick colors.

This is due simply to the fact that it’s part of the Frost lipstick range, and people don’t tend to reach for these on the MAC Cosmetics racks in-store.

Yet, if you have pale or fair skin with blonde hair, or are a brunette, this is probably one of the most wearable MAC mauve lipstick shades to wear all year round.

Since it’s a Frost lipstick, Fabby has a pearly finish, but it’s honestly super discreet and just looks healthy on a day-to-day basis.

Pair it with some of the most beautiful pink MAC lip liners for fair skin like Dervish, Subculture, or even Edge to Edge if you want a brighter pink finish.

If you have dark skin, though, you could also apply this particular MAC mauve lipstick on top of a dark lip liner, like Nightmoth or Chestnut, and get a sligthly different color.

On the eyes, you could go for some darker mauve eyeshadow, or create a graphic kind of look with one of the waterproof MAC eyeliners and eye pencils!

Plum frosted with bronze

I debated whether to include the MAC Plum Dandy lipstick in this guide, but it does look mauve on some skin tones, so why not give you as many options as possible?

Plum Dandy is probably one of the most underrated MAC mauve lipstick shades, since it’s part of the Frost range.

And the Frost range, with its beautiful duochrome colors, is definitely one of my favorite if you want to make your lips look bigger.

The slight duochrome effect attracts the light, and gives extra dimension to your lips, something you can’t have with a classic matte lipstick unless you add a lip liner/lipgloss to it.

Plum Dandy is also one of the most beautiful berry lipsticks from MAC, and whether you want to wear it at nighttime, during fall or winter, it always makes the prettiest effect.

What to wear on the eyes with this?

Since the duochrome on Plum Dandy is bronze, I would go for some orangey or yellow eyeshadow for this one, or something with warm undertones.

That could also work with some strong, red-toned purple eyeshadow in a smokey eye look, for instance.

The possibilities are plenty, and you can also go for some simple black eyeliner and mascara – always looks stunning with a MAC mauve lipstick!

Soft muted brownish-pink

Funnily, I thought I wouldn’t include the Twig lipstick in this guide, and after all, since it’s a mix of a pink and brown lipstick, it does make sense.

Also because if you’re looking for the perfect nude MAC lipstick for medium skin and dark skin, you’re going to love Twig.

I’ve always preferred the real deal, but there are also lots of beautiful dupes for MAC Twig on the market, in case you’re not too sure about the shade.

However, in my experience selling dozens of Twig lipsticks while working at MAC Cosmetics, it’s the perfect shade whether you have Indian skin, olive skin, fair or dark skin.

And definitely worth the splurge if you’re looking for the perfect MAC mauve lipstick for everyday!

It’s also gorgeous to wear with some beautiful metallic eyeshadow, no matter whether you want to go for some champagne, light pink, or even silver eyeshadow.

Just make sure you match the blush to the lips well if you choose a different undertone for the eyeshadow!
