Best Gold Eyeshadow? MAC & other brands

[MissRobot]

Goldmine would be a great gold e/s to try out. I love it and it stays in my main 15 palette that I carry with me everywhere (especially when traveling) for every possible situation.

I only have MAC Gold (metal) pigment. It's very beautiful but quite a deep intense gold, not light and floaty looking...I need a more subtle gold but golds are really hard to get right IMO, they just look so different once on compared to the pan

My favorite gold ever is Urban Decay Half Baked. It is such a rich gold color and it applies so smoothly! It's my HG gold shadow!

I like using Paint in Base Light (because it has a bit of a gold hue to it) as my my base. Then I use a combo of Old Gold Pigment and Goldmine . You may also want to try Henna if it is still out there...its a more subtle gold shadow.

The best gold eyeshadow that I've been able to find this season is Prestige's Golden Retriever. It's absolutely gorgeous... it's very rich and metallic looking. I love it!!

Agree, I'm an nw30/nw35...yes, I vary between the two and Goldmine shows up on me when Gorgeous Gold is a light sheen barely registerring on my skin. I loved the gold pigment but in small doses because a little of that stuff goes a long way...it's very bold too.

ITA! I thought I had well-pigmented golds until I got Half Baked ... now that is some serious gold action!

I have various golds in my collection, MAC and otherwise, but I always wind up reaching for Urban Decay Honey - I really like the yellow gold look.

I really like amber lights from MAC. It can run a bit yellow/orange so a base is required mixed in with an even lighter color (shroom).

This gold is TO DIE FOR! Puts Goldmine to shame! LOVE this color, its literally like applying 24k gold dust to your eyes!

I've used and love Smashbox's 24k eyeshadow. It's creamy and so beautiful.

Well, I LOVE woodwinked. Its more brownish I guess, so its really neutral, but I think its so gorgeous.

I'm a big fan of 24k from Beauty from the Earth, it's a mineral powder but it's really awesome, I use it both as a sheer wash or I'll pack it on if I want a really intense gold shimmer effect. I really like it with chocolate brown pigment in the outer corner and vanilla in the inner, beautiful retro kind of effect!

I love Pearl Ex pigments, which I buy from Jo-ann Fabrics...they're not eyeshadow, but I use them as such all the time. Aztec Gold is an absolutely GOOOORGEOUS gold color; their other golds are pretty as well, but AG blows them out of the water!
