Reader Request: MAC Lipstick Comparison - Warm Me Up and Brave New Bronze



I went to my MAC counter at Nordstrom today (Nordstrom by the way is having their semi-annual sale), and got these two lipsticks, Midi-Mauve and Warm Me Up. I really love these kinds of shades - mauvish and neutral pinks and peachy bronzes are right up my alley. I also use a lot of these shades for work, so I didn't hesitate in getting more of these shades. Midi-mauve is the perfect mauvish pink for me. Warm Me Up is from the Warm & Cozy collection that I'd really planned on getting.







A reader has requested that I do a comparison of Warm Me Up and Brave New Bronze. They are similar but they are still different enough to warrant me to get both, and maybe because I'd been forever lemming for a back up of Brave New Bronze, so perhaps this would do. First of all, their formulas are different. Brave New Bronze is a satin and Warm Me Up is an Amplified. Nonetheless, both have peachy undertones, but Brave New Bronze has definite bronze, even slight grey undertones.

Anyways, hope you find these swatches helpful!

Hi Aileen! Happy New Year :D

Warm Me Up is still not available in Manila. The color really intrigues me! I have Brave New Bronze, but I was hoping for a little more pink. Is Warm Me Up comparable to Cosmo or Brave?

Crissy- Warm Me Up is not pink to me at all, it's in the peach family, peachier than Brave New Bronze. Cosmo and Brave are pink, WMU is peach. HTH!
