I'm not much into gold, so I haven't tried any of MAC's gold shadows.
However, a really good shimmery pure gold shadow is Urban Decay's "Twisted."
It's discontinued, but you can probably get it on eBay. I like it because it looks pure gold, with no green, brown, yellow, or orange tones.

Must-have GOLD eyeshadows?
Just wanted to know what was really popular among girls on Specktra.
No pigments please, just eyeshadow
So far, all I have is Gleam that is really gold-toned. TIA

I also agree with Goldmine.
Gorgeous Gold is a really nice yellow-based gold but on some skintones (mine) it can give off a greenish tinge.
Also, Honeylust is a good choice.
Woodwinked is a gorgeous brown-based gold and should be a staple in every collection!!

If you like gleam then you'll love Expensive pink and Amber lights.

I have a colour called All That Glitters which is a really pretty pale gold. Think it's a LE though. Woodwinked ROCKS, so pretty!

Amberlights, Goldmine and Nylon are my faves. Amberlights is a rich almost bronze cast gold, Goldmine a true yellow gold, and Nylon white gold.
I also love Gold Dusk pigment which was a LE but is def worth seeking out.

I like Woodwinked, and I would also say Amber Lights, but it just blends in with my skintone, so it doesn't do much for me.
I hated Honey Lust... it was a pain trying to get it show up. All I got were little glitters, but in the pan it's gorgegous.
