First - I have to say i am a huge fan of MAC shadows. I love the convenience of being able to buy them by the pan and putting them in 15 pan palettes. This is HUGE! Anyways, GG is a beautiful...

This color is so gorgeous! Highly pigmented and easy to blend. I use this color alot to blend with other colors. It is a yellow/gold-ish color with a hint of green sparkle. I love this!

One of my very first colors, and most used. It is a subdued gold, but goes with browns, greens and even blues. Versatile color! This color also pairs well with greens, because it is slightly...

I love this shade. Is is a warm yellow (not gold, LOL) with a green "duochrome" finish. Unlike most Veluxe Pearls it doesn't go on very pigmented so you have to go over it a few times (I use my...

I love MAC eyeshadow. My HG is sumptuous olive, and I bought this to go with. It's great, especially on the lid with the sumptuous olive in the crease--stunning! Great for green/gold eyes (I wear...

I wanted a Gold e/s so I bought Gorgeous Gold. The color was very pretty and shimmery in the pot but once I put it on my lids it turned greenish. If you want a real Gold color try Goldmine instead....

It's hard to make this color show up on my skin and the color reminds me of highlighter pencils?LOOOL It's a little too green for my taste. If you want a true gold color, try Goldmine.

I love this color. I use it for highlighting. It is not garish, and you can layer it if you want it more intense. Just like the name says, gorgeous gold. Good for playing up blues and greens.

This is a beautiful shimmery gold-yellow color with a slight tinge of green. A girlfriend and I (similar coloring--blonde hair, blue-green eyes, and pale skin) went to the MAC counter where the SA...

I LOVE this shadow- with the perfect name- "Gorgeous Gold!" Don't know why I never bought this one before! I bought Goldmine a few years ago and hated it. It did not look good on me at all, and...

This is absolutely my favorite eyeshadow. It was also the very first MAC product I ever bought, almost a year ago, and I still have more than half of it left! It goes on me a lovely bright yellow...

I just want to say Jordana's Oro e/s is pretty much identical to this. I had both & swatched them next to each other & couldn't tell the difference. Plus Jordana is only $1 and will fit in a mac...

I don't know if you can really call this a gold because it's more like a yellow, and when you hold it up to the light it has a nice green iridescence that I like. It works well with just about...

I've noticed that all VPs blend extremely easily, but some are soft in the pan and densely pigmented (Freshwater, Coppering) and others hard and somewhat sheerer (Stars N Rockets, Shimmermoss)....

I really like this color for my lid, with a little gold micro-glitter slicked on top for that lame (as in gold lame, not lame leg haha) look. Paired with a gold-stroked red like Fresh Morrocan on...

I have to agree with everyone that reviewed this e/s before me, in saying it is not a gold, it is much more a georgous shimmery yellow. I love this color paired with almost everything. It looks...
