Jen: I recommend Golden Bronze Iridescent Powder, for a shade similar to Gold Deposit MSF. Jessica : And for So Ceylon? Sorry for all of the questions, but I missed these when they were originally released Jen: Copper Sparkle Pigment.

Ok...here you go. I hope that this helps. I swatched them on my arm (nw 40) in natural sunlight without any foundation or base. I think Chocolate Brown and Metal Rock are the most reasonable comparisons. They are different but similar enough to give to the same effect. Once I swatched them I also saw that Copper Sparkle is not too different from gold deposit. I think if it is applied lightly and buffed into the skin, with a kabuki perhaps, that it would work as well.

These arent fantastic, but I thought I'd try to help since I was comparing pinks anyways

This one is un-natural light, no flash, inside wrist, I'm a NC 20, but my wrist is pretty much white!

top left is real doll, top right is bombshell
bottom left (kinda cut out) is please me, and the bottom right is snob

and this is un-natural light, with a flash

Bombshell has a bit more of a gold sheen in real life. And if it helps, Real Doll and Snob are *almost* identical on me on my unlined lips (and I have quite pink pigmented lips) only snob is just more matte and gives a bit more coverage/colour.

Green pigment (the d/c frost) vs. Humid es and/or Emerald Green pigment

Deep Blue Green pigment vs. Blue Brown pigment vs. Green Brown pigment vs. Forest Green pigment vs. Club es

Nocturnal Plum pigment vs. Burnt Burgundy pigment-****See Smoke Signals Thread-Request Filled****

Da Bling es vs. Pink Venus es vs. Pink Freeze es

Black Black pigment vs. Dark Soul pigment

Silver (D/C frost) pigment vs. Silver Fog pigment vs.

And, as many browns that can be swatched together out of:
Twinks es, Mythology es, All That Glitters es vs. Mulch es , Sable es, Bronze es, Chocolate Brown pigment, Coco Beach pigment
(Biggest request out of these: Twinks es vs. Sable es)****Request filled Previously in this thread****

I did not make this image of swatches, nor do I own it. However, the girl who did make this is lovely and she is bein_aranel on the mac_Cosmetics livejournal community - her swatches are always so awesome that i'll save many of them to my own computer or host them on my site myself. Here is her silver swatch photo hosted to my gallery, but all credit goes to her! (And if she's seeing this and doesn't like the fact I posted em, I hope she'll let me know so I can immediately take it down)

Bronze is more metallic than Mulch and has more red tones in it. Mulch has gold shimmer to it. (I'm bad at color descriptions though. Sorry)

NC35 no base
Natural lighting

No base, with flash

I don't own all your color requests so I'll do my best!

NC35 no base

Cosmic is more orangey

Firespot has much more gold in it. I prefer Firespot over OTR
