Though the packing on the paints leave a lot to be desired, I absolutely love them. Mauvism is a shimmery lilac color which I think would be flattering on most everyone. It makes a great base...

I have just about every MAC paint ever released, and there's a few that I have more than one tube of .. Mauvism is one of those. It's not really "mauve" by any stretch .. but rather a light...

I get more compliments on my eyes / makeup when I wear this color than any other product. I can't believe they discontinued it!!! I will definitely purchase it when/if I find it again!

It's a lovely shimmery lavender, but it's a shame that it can go on a bit unevenly if you use anything but a very thin layer at a time. The lasting power is wonderful and a little bit goes a long...

Mauvism is not mauve at all, like the other reviewers have mentioned, but is a light lavender-purple with silver frost. <br>It comes in a little metal tube with a screw on cap, like all paints....

Not really mauve(pink-purple). Mauvism is a lavendar frost. Brightens my dark lids. Great as a base for me purple based e/s. Apply over HIP e/s base. Holds pigments in place w/o creasing too. ...

Nothing mauve about this despite the name- all I saw was sheer lavender with lots of silver shimmer. Not my favorite paint, but works well with plums and purples when used as a base or highlight....

neh! i don't think so. There's no Mauve in this Mauvism Paint.. it's more like Silver with some Lilac or Lavendar. Heavy on the silver. On my NC44ish skin (or CoverFXI40/B15) it just doesn't work....

With my oily skin, cream shadows aren't good for me, and this was no exception. It just feels weird on my eyes. Also, the color is lighter than I expected. The package isn't the best either. I'm...

This is one of my favorite paints. Mauvism is a light shimmery lilac. Not overpowering at all, yet still purple. It looks good alone or a base for other purples or pinks. I love all the paints,...

Gorgeous shimmery lavender that lasts all day! I mostly wear Mauvism on it’s own (I rarely wear e/s and when I do it’s mostly as a wash). When used as an e/s base, my makeup lasts all day, even...

This is my second MAC paint ever and I have to say it's my favorite. I am a cool-toned olive and this color is perfect on me. It's a gorgeous, shimmery light violet/lavender mix. It's great on...

I got a generous sample of this in a swap and I really like it. A smooth texture, lots of frosty lilac colour, I can wear it all alone. As a base for Idol Eyes though, it really makes me happy! I...

Mauvism has been on my wishlist for awhile, so when I was at a Cosmetic Company Outlet yesterday and saw they had this color, I just felt the need to get it. Since the color swatches on MAC's...

This is a lovely, shiney, purple color. It makes a great base for powder e/s. It really works to stop creasing and makes the lavender & purple powder shadows pop. I also think it would work well...

This is a great purple to use as either a base or a wash on its own. Wonderful lasting power, but beware when applying because a little goes a long way. However, I got this after I got Matisserie...
