On MAC’s website Midimauve is described as:

“An evenly balanced rosy mauve with pearl.”

It has a Lustre finish. [LUSTRE: Demi-sheer with wet-look lustre finish. Very slick. Makes lips look soft, smooth, ultra-moist.]  It feels like a lipstick, but has just enough softness that it’s like silk on your lips. It’s also shiny enough to be worn without a gloss on top.

In the picture above, I am wearing Midimauve without gloss and without a lipliner so that you can see the true color. It is a sheer color, so if you have highly pigmented lips, this may not be what you are looking for. But if you want a soft finish, with just a bit of color, this may work for you. For me Midimauve the perfect compliment to cool toned eyeshadows. [Purples, pinks, grays, blues, etc.]

*If you have a lighter complexion than me, Midimauve going to come off more nude, than mauve.  I’ve also heard that if you have a fair complexion with lips that aren’t very pigmented it can sometimes appear gray.

*If your complexion is darker than mine, it will definitely be ashy. To solve this, use a brown or red lip liner to bring the color down a bit. Or, use a similarly colored lipgloss.

The next time you’re at a MAC counter, give Midimauve a try, you just may like it.
