The reality star stripped down to her lingerie and showed off the mesmerising look in nude makeup with MAC and we are telling you the exact shades she used to achieve the seductive look
I’m A Celebrity star Maura Higgins has joined the MAC Cosmetics family as the latest UK ambassador and she stripped down to her favourite MAC Nudes to celebrate her boldest, most authentic self with its new campaign “I Only Wear MAC”.
The 34-year-old Irish beau joined other Hollywood icons, including Martha Stewart and Julia Fox, to show off with MAC Nudes – a collection of 28 naughty nude shades for lips and eyes, proving that nude is anything but neutral.
In the series of risque images, Maura looked incredible in a very sexy boudoir-esque lingerie and she was seen wearing the MACximal Sleek Satin Lipstick, £25, in shade Fleshpot in the bedroom shot. The lipstick provides eight hours of hydration with lip-plumping moisture. It gives full coverage with a rich pigment payoff to reduce the appearance of fine, dry lines.

In another picture, which was taken in the bathroom, the reality star swapped to MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick in Cool Teddy, £25, a mocha beige tone nude to add dimensions to the lips. The matte formula you know and love is upgraded to a silkier, smoother texture so it is non-feathering and non-bleeding for 12 hours.
For her base makeup, it started with Strobe Cream, £32, as an illuminating base to brighten and hydrate skin before putting on a mix of two foundation shades – NC45 and NW25 from Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation, £35 each. The one-step powder and foundation gives skin an ultra-matte finish with medium-to-full buildable coverage that lasts for 12 hours, while controlling shine.
The base makeup is a MAC bestselling icon for a reason – it does not oxidise and stays on true colour with sweat and humidity-resistant power. One shopper shared: “It’s not a heavy powder, and it doesn’t settle into fine lines. It controls oil and has a natural matte finish.”
To achieve a subtle glow like Maura, makeup artists also used Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in the shade Give Me Sun, £34, for a slow-baked, low-level pearlised effect. They also used Glow Play Cushiony Blush, £28, in the shade Grand for a subtle flush of petal pink hues across the cheeks.
As for the eye makeup, Maura had an eye pencil in Coffee, £20, smudged around the eyes and pulled out with 219S Pencil-Shaped Brush, £21, for a smoky-looking eye.
“Starting off the year as the face of Mac’s newest Campaign. Such a pinch-me moment! Keep an eye out for more pics and videos around the UK & irl @maccosmeticsuki,” Maura shared on Instagram.
Elsewhere, Charlotte Tilburys’ Matte Revolution Lipstick in the iconic Pillow Talk Original shade is a solid fan-favourite for those who want softer, smoother, and more youthful lips. Charlotte developed this warm-toned shade so that it is suitable for everyone in all skin tones.
If you want to get a nude lip like Rihanna, then Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Stix in Blaz’d Donut is a lipstick lip gloss-hybrid to give you luscious lips in ‘explosive shine’ – and now they are reduced from £23 to £18.40 at Boots.
