I initially brought it because I was in need of a cooltoned, not too dark but not too light eye shadow to fill in my brows. I knowmany people usually opt for Omega or Charcoal Brown, and I do have CharcoalBrown but, in my opinion, it’s lightly too warm toned and no one wants orangeeye brows! I've never heard many peopleuse Coquette before- it definitely doesn't get the attention it deserves. | Mac Coquette and Charcoal Brown + swatches |
Secondly, I decided I could try using it as a crease colour,like a transition shade, and it works so well for that as well! It’s the perfecteye shadow as you get just enough colour pay off that it’s easy to controlbecause it’s buildable. I also use it under my eyes on my lower lash line for asoft, slightly smokey look or on my upper lash line for slight extra dimension-perfect!
Thirdly, and my favourite use of Coquette, is forcontouring. I've been on the extensive hunt for the perfect contour shade forus fair skin girls. Matte bronzers just seem too orange and harsh, I even triedthe ever so famous Benefit Hoola and it’s pretty good but for an everydaycontour, it’s slightly too harsh. I’d also heard that NYX blush in Taupe wasgood but it’s not very accessible in the UK. One day I was filling in my brows,I realised Coquette was a pretty similar match to Taupe. So I tried it and itsperfect! Even though it’s great for fair skin, it would also be great for allskin tones because it’s so buildable!| Mac Coquette + Swatch |
(If anyone could help me out by telling me what the bumpy bits are in this shadow it would be a great help please!!)
I definitely will be repurchasing MAC’s Coquette eye shadowwhenever I run out, I have it in the pan form to go in my quad palette and it’s only£10. Sometimes £10 for one little eye shadow seems a bit overpriced, but whenyou can use it for so many different things, it’s certainly worth it! I've beenusing it for 2 months religiously and there’s barely a dent. Very impressedwith this eye shadow and I recommend it to all of you!
Hope you enjoyed this post, next time you’re in MAC have alook at Coquette and maybe try it out for yourself- would love to hear youropinions too!
