Mauve Monochrome: A One-Palette Look for Eyes, Cheeks, and Lips | AllureEssence Boutique
Share
Prologue
Monochrome makeup is restraint as luxury. By harmonizing undertones across lids, cheeks, and lips, you create coherence that reads expensive—even if the process is simple and fast.
1) Undertone Audit
If veins read blue/purple, cool mauves sing; if greenish, choose neutral-warm rose-mauves. Swatch along the jaw and wait a minute; oxidation tells the truth.
2) Eyes (two brushes, three moves)
-
Wash a soft mauve over the lid; keep edges blurred.
-
Deepen the outer third with a muted plum; lift at the tail.
-
Tap a satin shell at the inner corner. Tightline with brown—not black—for softness.
3) Cheeks (veil, not stripe)
Use a sheer mauve-rose and apply higher than you think; upward placement sculpts without bronzer. A whisper of balm on cheekbone peaks unifies texture.
4) Lips (your anchor returns)
Finish with mauve-pink gloss as the tonal echo that ties the face together—comfortable, glossy, and low-maintenance for touch-ups. Allure Essence Boutique
5) Tools & Time
Two brushes (fluffy + pencil), one soft blush, one gloss. Eight minutes, out the door.
