MAC Nude Model Art Library Palette Review & Swatches
Nude Model
MAC Nude Model Art Library Palette ($48.00 for 0.6 oz.) is a new, limited edition neutral-hued palette that leans slightly more mauve/plum than overtly warm-toned. Of the three palettes launched in the Art Library collection, this has the most repeated shades (past releases and/or permanent shades). If you feel like a lot of matte eyeshadows are too powdery, you may you enjoy MAC’s formula, which tends to be firmer, a little stiffer and better for gradually building color with little to no fallout. Most of the mattes were blendable, but the darker shades–Sugar Plum and Dance in the Dark–could have been easier to soften along the edges. LES Artiste had some fallout and a tendency to emphasize my lid texture, so I’d recommend using fingertips or a wet brush to apply it, and I felt like Nude Model was overly slippery.
Shroom
Shroom is a pale, peachy-pink with subtle,w arm undertones and a pearly sheen. The pigmentation was opaque, while the eyeshadow had a smooth, blendable consistency that was firmer without being stiff in the pan. It lasted nicely for eight hours on me before fading a bit.

Gogh Lightly
Gogh Lightly is a deeper, medium-dark gold with warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The sparkles seemed to blend away during application, which meant fallout wasn’t a concern during wear, at least. It had opaque pigmentation with a soft consistency that easy to work with. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Sandstone
Sandstone is a muted, light-medium taupe with subtle, warm yellow undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was opaque in one layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out without too much work, though it could have been a little more blendable. It had a smooth, firmer consistency in the pan, which would work particularly well for those who build their pigment. It lasted for just over eight hours on me before it started to fade.

LES Artiste
LES Artiste is a light pewter with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It could pulled grayer or more bronze depending on what it was paired with. The texture was soft but very loosely-pressed in the pan, and there was chunkier sparkle, so it was prone to fallout during application and difficult to apply without using fingertips to press and pat it into place or a dampened brush. If I applied it dry, there was fallout after a few hours, but if I applied it using my fingertip (no water or adhesive spray), it lasted for nearly eight hours with minimal fallout.

Drop the Robe
Drop the Robe is a bright, light peach with warm, copper undertones and a metallic sheen. It had opaque pigmentation with a smooth, soft consistency that wasn’t too firmly nor too softly pressed in the pan, so it applied evenly and blended out easily. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Tete-a-Tint
Tete-a-Tint is a light-medium, peachy orange with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good color coverage that was buildable to full pigmentation with a second layer. The consistency was soft, blendable, and not too firmly nor too softly pressed in the pan, so I didn’t have issues with fallout but it still diffused easily along the edges. It lasted well for eight hours on me before I noticed slight fading.

Pleasing to the Eye
Pleasing to the Eye is a muted, light-medium peach with subtle, rosy undertones and a matte finish. It appeared more mauve in the pan but applied rather warm-toned. The texture was soft, lightly dusty, but blendable and not prone to sheering out too readily. It wore for seven and a half hours on me before I noticed fading.

Nude Model
Nude Model is a plummy bronze with warm undertones and a glittery finish. The texture was rather soft, more loosely-pressed in the pan, and it had a lot of slip. I find that eyeshadows with more slip often go on unevenly as the pigment tends to slide rather than adhere, which was what happened with this shade. It applied best with a dampened brush, as it helped minimize some of the sliding around. It lasted for eight hours on me with slight fallout.

Sugar Plum
Sugar Plum is a muted, medium-dark mauve with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a slightly drier, stiffer consistency. The eyeshadow could have applied more evenly and blended more readily, though it was workable. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before it started to fade.

Dance in the Dark
Dance in the Dark is a deep, charcoal brown with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had a drier, firmer consistency that worked best for a more gradual, buildable application of color. It could have blended out more readily along the edges, and I had to be careful to buff the powder out to get even coverage. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably on me.
