MAC Woodwinked Eye Shadow

Like me, if you always gravitate towards golds, bronzes and neutral shades, Woodwinked is a great addition to your stash. Woodwinked is probably one of the best, most skin flattering shades of gold I've ever tried! It does have very slight duo chrome quality to it which is visible under certain indoor lights. Otherwise, it is definitely a warm, antique gold as perfectly described my MAC.


The finish is Veluxe Pearl so it has a beautiful metallic sheen and blends very well. I usually use it all over the lid with black eyeliner on the waterline and some mascara for a super natural, daytime look. This versatile shade can be paired with a variety of darker shades for a more dramatic or a festive look too.



It perks up a dull face, adds a lot of warmth and doesn't look overly foiled like a lot of gold shades do. If you love warm gold shadows, I highly recommend Woodwinked. Even otherwise, it's a gorgeous shade to own. You'll love it as much as I do!

Have you tried Woodwinked? Do you like gold eye shadows? What is your favourite shade?

    I always think it's odd that this is referred to as gold as it looks bronze-y beige, to me. But let me just say, it's SO flattering on you.

    Lovely color for a natural, pretty look..... appears to be a warm bronze shade to me though.

    @Vijii - Thanks :) It does look bronze-y under certain lighting. Antique Gold does justice to the color though :D

    Woodwinked never looks golden on my skin tone.... It's always like a
    Champagne'y beige. UD eyeshadow in toasted looks exactly like this one on me.

    @Jan - Toasted is a beautiful shade. Maybe try layering this with a golden/bronzy base? That might help the color pop more? :)

    Yeah, UD shadows are really buttery but I wish some of them were just a teeny bit less shimmery for my liking. They even blend better than so many others out there :) I love Expensive Pink too :D

    I have very few, if any, MAC eyeshadows from the permanent line. *sheepish smile

    Woodwinked is a great color and very versatile too. Looks great on you.
