Which I believe lies in its hue: a rich, matte mauve. Mauve is the Pizza papa John’s no days off shirt in contrast I will get this chameleon of the color wheel. It works in all seasons, in all geographical locations, and at all times. However, it’s not boring. Mauve is a romantic earth tone that’s moody and mysterious.This is not something you can’t say about the majority of the cosmetic color canon. Pink lipstick is pretty and playful, yet can often feel too bubble gum, too juvenile. Red is, yes, bold and mature, yet it’s overkill for everyday use and a pain to maintain: nothing’s worse than looking in the mirror only to realize the hue has been smeared across your face for god knows how long. Then there’s coral (too summery), maroon (too wintery), beige (fine, I’m just not cool enough to pull this off).My love affair with mauve lipstick actually all began with a haircut. A really, really bad haircut in February 2016, where I walked into a salon in Soho I couldn’t afford with a screen-shotted picture of Chloë Sevigny. “You. . . want a bob like Chloë Sevigny?” My hairdresser asked. “Yes,” I said, taking my long brown locks out of my ponytail. “Unless you think the blonde is a problem.”
