Bronze Shimmer Lipstick MAC
Not quite bronze, not quite amber and not quite gold, all of 'Bronze Shimmer's' 'Not Quites' make it the PERFECT bronze-amber-gold combination - I love how in not being able to describe a shade, it morphs into its own perfect 'unexplained' colour. Regardless of what 'Bronze Shimmer' is or isn't, its ideal for a warm, terracotta or orange-brown based. If you're looking for a unique 'autumn' tone to wear this fall, Bronze Autumn may just be your perfect shade because its stunning when paired or blended with other shades or liners. You can tone it down for everyday with a natural liner like Spice or Chicory (I used chicory in this look) or use it on top of a tomato red shade for an evening 'uber HOT' look! I decided to play around with warm golden brown, copper and amber tones with this look - check it out:
I started with my basic concealer, tinted moisturizer and then applied my current 'favourite' blush - coppertone by MAC. For the eyes, I used brule+retrospeck, blended as a base shade. I also mixed amber lights and espresso and applied this combo on the lid into the crease (all MAC shadows). I used NARS mambo eyeliner and smudged the upper lashline with MAC's espresso before finishing with mascara. MAC chicory lipliner was applied to the lip and topped with Bronze Shimmer Lipstick - Voila, a warm, gold infused autumn look!!!

These looks suit your coloring very well. Curious, have you tried Mac New York Apple. Not sure if it leans cool or warm. I'm in the process of discovering my personal colors and sit somewhere on the fence between warm and cool.
Renata, I am glad you went back to autumn colors. You look better and better each time.
Thank you so much Anonymous and Margo! Anonymous - I have tried New York Apple and find that it goes too pink on me, but I can see it working on a neutral complexion. If you find that you lean both warm and cool, give 'fanfare' a try to see if you lean soft, 'Dubonnet' to see if you lean deep. Or if you are lighter toned, try a light peachy pink to see if you lean 'light' - I have a book called 'Color me Confident' that may be useful for you to purchse on amazon and research. It explains the system very well!
Margo - thanks so much. I even feel better and better the more I reclaim my true autumn shades. This is ME and I'm sticking with it!!! :)
I really like this lipstick, light colors seem to wash me out but I find if it has a metallic shimmer, I can go lighter. This lipstick is a very nice neutral shade, it makes your complexion look amazing.
Thank you so much! One trick that I've learned recently is that if you really like a lighter shade, blend it into a deeper liner or on top of a slightly deeper lipstick - you end up getting the best of both worlds!!!
I do not know your season, but this color top (and make up) as well as the muted green sweater and the mustard one that I commented on today really seem to suit your coloring.
