Best Gold Eyeshadow? MAC & other brands

[slipnslide]

I find the key to Honeylust is to apply it with a flatter brush to pack it on, and/or use a nice dry finger to apply. More of the glitter stays on that way, although yes- it's quick and dirty.

Do you mean Gold Mode pigment? Or is there a Gold mode e/s too? Too many gold colors, yet they are all so different LOL.

I like the gorgeous gold, but it's more of a yellowish/greenish gold on me (I am NW25). It looks different on everyone so you should try it if you haven't on your skintone.

[nightinggale07]

The pigment, Lol.

[mdjmsj]

Fyrinnae Aztec Gold (slightly greenish cast when applied) and Genie Lamp (true gold) are my two favs.

[gabi03]

the gold shades from the mediteranee or isolde eyeshadow duos from NARS, they are amazingly silky.

[BeccalovesMAC]

is gold mode piggie part of the perm line?

[kayley123]

I really like Gold Dusk pigment, and Shu Uemura Gold Silk duo!

[miss_bailey]

I really love this one from the body shop in gold.
it has a really beautiful irridescense to it.
Eye Shimmer: Eyeshadow & Eyeliner: Makeup - The Body Shop

From MAC in terms of pigments I love Blondes Gold and Jardin Aires (both LE).
I also like goldfinger from NARS.

Goldmine is great. Another fun Goldish is Old Gold MAC pigment, high color payoff with great tones!!!

[MissAlly]

I dig Goldmine,and Gorgeous Gold.

[rachelkr]

Goldmine, gold stroke, and melon. Pigments are definitely best for gold because they have so much shimmer and sheen.

i've found a new love for amber lights. an orangey gold that looks stunning as a wash on the lid! great for summery looks.

and of course the amazing old gold pigment that i used today! has a wonderful greeny tint that flashes!

[L1LMAMAJ]

yellow gold pearl pigment from nyx is so lovely. it's like a more yellow version of mac's goldmine

[zoegeorge84]

It is more ambery/bronze than gold, but Amber Lights is my favourite eyeshadow colour in taht category. It has a great depth adn intensity to it that doesn't make it look trashy or tacky, but still retains a great metallic shine and a goldish vibe to it.

I'm pale and I really like Urban Decay's Half Baked.. it's a true gold and it comes out pretty bold on me (i'm NW 15 but I just started wearing NW when an MA tried it out on me.. I have worn NC 15 for years and I always liked Half Baked)

I've bought about Amber Light from MAC since I discovered it. I am NC40 and my NC45 friend LOVES it too!

Goldmine would be a LOT more obvious on your complexion.

Just throwing this out there, but a GREAT drug store brand gold I've tried was from the Black Radiance line. I don't know if anyone's ever heard of it, but some years ago - and by years, I mean a LOOOOONG time ago, maybe some 6 years or more - I was just randomly walking down the beauty isle of a local drug store. I came across Black Radiance's Eye Shadow Quartet in 8801 Desert Clay.

The colors are SOOOO pigmented! The gold is definitely one of the best gold's I've ever tried! And I believe they're only $3-$5!

(this is the only image I could find of the quartet - don't let this image full you, it seems like the colors aren't right, but the colors in person are VERY bright and extremely pigmented!)

I've swatched Urban Decay's Half Baked when I was in Sephora, and I think it is a gorgeous gold- not too yellow, dark, or light. Does anyone know of a MAC eyeshadow that is a dupe/very similar to UD's Half Baked?

[elementaire]

I like urban decay's honey (deluxe e/s) - this shows up on me best and it's so pretty!
Gold mine is also gorgeous; I always use it over base light paint.
gorgeous gold is kinda meh on me.

but Bare Escentuals True Gold is exactly that. A true gold. its GORGEOUS!
