    Gorgeous Gold is a major misnomer for this color! In the pan, it appears yellow/green but on my lids it comes out to be a sheer shimmery light lime green. Very odd! MAC's description calls it...

    Yes, Gorgeous Gold is a bizarre color, but its also a pretty amazing one. If you're looking for a true gold color go with Goldmine, but if you're looking for something lighter and more easily worn...

    Bleh. I was hoping for a light gold, and figured "gorgeous" gold would be the way to go. I battled between goldmine and gorgeous gold for a while, and wish I had gone with goldmine. Gorgeous gold...

    Gorgeous Gold is a strange color. In the pan it is very yellow and shimmery, not at all gold looking. It's a bit softer than most of my other MAC shadows. On me, this shows up as a pale shiny...

    When I first put this on, I thought my eyeshadow brush was dirty because it came out so green! I thought it would have been a creamy gold but nope. So I tried this again, but I had Jurlique Silk...

    I love gold looks because they bring out copper flecks in my "more green than brown" hazel eyes, so this color was, of course, a necessity. I mean, it has the word "gold" in it and it is also,...

    over all I like this colour although it is quite deceiving in the pan. It looks more yellow. It does have a green undertone, which paired with the right colours is quite pretty. I use it with...

    definitely a cooler rather than a warmer undertone (like goldmine), which sort of surprised me. nevertheless, i always enjoy using this shadow... unfortunately, because of its green undertones,...

    I like this eyeshadow, however, without a good base, its so hard to get a good colour payoff. When applied with my Too Faced Shadow Insurance, it shows up as a light pale gold, whereas, in the pan,...

    I am always looking for an e/s that makes brown eyes pop and this really does!! I wasn't sure how it would look when I bought it but I have been really pleased. Will buy again.

    I agree with past comments that this gold is indeed gorgeous but you need a base or primer if using as a lid color. And yes, it does have a green undertone and if layered, the green highlights...

    Why, oh why did I not consult my MUA friends before purchasing this? Gorgeous Gold would be gold, one would expect, right? No. It is yellow with green. The more one packs on, the greener it...

    I like this color but I don't know why I bought it. Gold just doesn't look good on my eyes. Its such a pretty, sheer gold and I'm sad that I can't pull it off
