More Natural Makeup with MAC Warm & Cozy
Here’s another simple look I did with Warm & Cozy. There’s really not much to it! I just wanted something easy, functional, and neutral. I thought about wearing By Candlelight in this look, but MAC’s mineralize products tend to break me out, so I didn’t want to risk it over the holidays. I just went with my new favorite Sugarbomb instead! :)
You will need the following…
- Eyes: MAC Nurture Shadestick (soft pink), MAC Chamomile Eyeshadow (soft off-white), MAC Expensive Pink Eyeshadow (dirty pink), MAC Modelette Eyeshadow (soft medium brown), MAC Mulled Cider Eyeshadow (medium dark reddish brown), Urban Decay Underground 24/7 Liner (brown), Dior DiorShow Extase Macara (black)
- Cheeks: Benefit Sugarbomb Powder (peachy pink)
- Lips: MAC Warm Me Up Lipstick (medium, yellowed pink), MAC D’Nouveau Lipgloss (plum)
- Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 214 (smudge brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Nurture = Fresco Rose, Chamomile = Blanc Type; Modelette = Era; Mulled Cider = Folie; Comfort = bronzer; Warm Me Up = Cosmo; D’Nouveau = Star Nova
Directions: Start by applying MAC Nurture shadestick as your eyeshadow base all over the lid with the 249. Using the 239, apply Chamomile eyeshadow on the inner third of the eyelid. Next, apply Expensive Pink eyeshadow on the middle third of the eyelid and lightly blend with the inner corner. Darken the outer third of the lid with Modelette eyeshadow with the 239, gently brushing it into the lower crease. Next, define the crease by applying Mulled Cider eyeshadow with the 226. Lightly tap and brush Modelette eyeshadow directly above the crease to soften. To finish the eyeshadow look, sweep Chamomile eyeshadow as a highlighter on the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying Urban Decay Underground Liner on the lower lash line, and then sweeping lashes with Dior DiorShow Extase mascara.
For cheeks, apply Benefit Sugarbomb powder to the apples of cheeks with the 116.
For lips, apply Warm Me Up lipstick first, and then layer D’Nouveau lipgloss for soft, neutral lips.

Christine! I’m trying to skip these shadows, but you’re making it impossible. I’m heading to mac now. You didn’t give such a great review on these shadows, but they look so pretty and I need neutral shadows. I’m so torn. Lol
Christine
Saturday, December 26, 2009
I’d take a look at MAC’s permanent eyeshadows — these really are so, so subpar in comparison, IMO!

I just got back from mac and these really are subpar when swatched in person. I got a lot of other stuff from this collection, though.
Christine

What other stuff did you get!

I loveeee it! It works with practically everything :)
Thank you!

Very pretty! Expensive Pink adds a nice twist to the look :) (PS: I think you used a picture with the wrong swatches!)
Christine
Saturday, December 26, 2009
Thanks, Roxanne! LOL, I didn’t actually swatch everything in the look, but I figured most of the shadows (except Expensive Pink) were in that photo :P

I really like this look. Anything with expensive pink is good in my book. But is Modelette really that poorly pigmented? Cuz it hardly shows up at all.
Christine
Saturday, December 26, 2009
Modelette isn’t very dark, so it’s very soft/light. I think it’s pigmented enough to show, but it’s not by any means a dark or intense eyeshadow.

Hi Christine! This is such a great look, and Chamomile actually looks like a really nice highlighter, so I’m definitely going to pick it up. I like the addition of Expensive Pink, too.
Christine
Saturday, December 26, 2009
Thanks so much, Doreen :)

What a beautiful, soft glow. You look like you are bathed in candlelight. Just from looking at your closed eye, it looks like the lovechild of Expensive Pink and Modelette would be Patina. Since Patina is my favorite MAC shadow, I’ll just have to check out the lippie. I love that you used a plum gloss. Very pretty!!
Christine

Aww! Thank you so much, Jodi :)

You’re tempting me with Sugarbomb. ;) It looks great on you. I saw it today at Sephora, but maybe next payday.
Christine
Monday, December 28, 2009
I lovesssss it!! :)

That is a great natural look for work and school. I saw Sugar Bomb today at Sephora and liked it at first swatch and I will probably pick it up soon. The Diorshow Extrasse mascara looks great on your lashes!
Christine
Monday, December 28, 2009
Thanks a lot, Amy! I hope you enjoy Sugarbomb as much as I am :D

Gorgeous! Also, I’ve never really noticed til now, but it looks like you’ve got an animal print of some sort in parts of your eyes…..weird but cool! lol
Christine
Monday, December 28, 2009
Thanks, Paloma ;)
LOL, I always thought they looked like DNA or trees…

Ive never been fun of satin eyeshadows because they usually dont show up that easily unless you pack it on alot
I was wondering Christine if you take time to pack on the color to let it show?
Gloria
Saturday, December 26, 2009
Can you provide dupes of them in the permanent mac eyeshadows which are pigmented?
Thanks & love the look
Christine
Monday, December 28, 2009
I always list all of the dupes in the beginning of the post:
Substitutes: Nurture = Fresco Rose, Chamomile = Blanc Type; Modelette = Era; Mulled Cider = Folie; Comfort = bronzer; Warm Me Up = Cosmo; D’Nouveau = Star Nova
Christine
Monday, December 28, 2009
I don’t really pack on eyeshadows, I just pat them on. I don’t think I felt like these were difficult to get to show, though!
Tami
Saturday, December 26, 2009
Very pretty Christine! I checked out the collection today and only walked away with the Cuddle and Nurture shadesticks. I believe I have some shades similiar to the shadow colors so I will try my hand at this look:)
Christine
Monday, December 28, 2009
Thanks so much, Tami :) Good luck!

Christine, I wanted to ask you before but somehow I forget always… anyway, I wanted to ask you – which camera do you use to take your photos? :) Beside beautiful makeup I must also say that your photos are always perfect! And not only makeup, swatches too :)
Thanks!

This is a very pretty look on you! I just came back from checking this collection out. I agree the colors are pretty but not wow. I picked up a color I wasn’t necessarily interesed in but I really love it. That is the Light That Fire! lipglass.
Christine
Monday, December 28, 2009
Thanks so much, Jodi :)
Glad you grabbed Light That Fire lipglass!
Brenda

I have to agree that Comfort MSF is very orange. Seeing Sugarbomb in this pic really shows the difference. I will not be picking up any MSF’s.
This pic turned out great btw!!!!

Christine, would you recommend the Warm and Cozy e/s or the Chanel e/s quad?
Christine
Monday, December 28, 2009
Chanel eyeshadow quad… but if you were looking for a more budget friendly alternative, I’d go with some neutrals from MAC’s permanent line.
