Expensive pink is one of the prettiest eyeshadows that MAC has. It's a pink/coral color that goes on beautifully and is super pigmented.

I love this color. I'm NC35 w/ black hair and dark brown eyes, and on me, this color is more of a golden peach with a pink tone. I usually pair it with Star Violet (a plummy purple), and some kind of black liner. Expensive Pink blends amazingly well and has good color payoff. IMO, it looks darker in the pan than what actually goes on, and I didn't find it "too frosty" for my liking. I would definitely buy this again!

Gorgeous! This is a pink/peach shade with a significant amount of gold shimmer. It goes on smooth and the color remains consistent & even. Definitely one of the more "girlie" shades that I own and I love it! continued >>

Eeek!! Ugly color!!
This is one of those strange shades. Duochrome I guess you would say. It is a cool pink with a warm gold undertone. It rubs me the wrong way, so too speak, and I really don't like it!!
May work for some, it has good texture, but not me!

I wanted this for so long and when I finally did get it, I realised it makes my eye look sore. I am NW20 and anything with red tones does not suit me or I have to blend really well to get it to work.
Expensive Pink is in the same colour family as Mythology, just a little lighter with more gold. On my skin it looks red/pink with a gold sheen.
It does look good paired with All that Glitters which brings more of the gold out.
Edit: I have stopped using this as an eyeshadow, I kept getting asked if I had been crying, instead it makes the perfect blush shade, I get so many compliments when I use this as a blush so I have now upped my rating.

This is one of my favourite eyeshadows as it's such an unusual shade of pink! It can look pinky/goldy/corally depending on the light, it really is gorgeous!

Love! I haven't really gotten into eyeshadows until recently and I find myself using this alot. Pretty pinky color with gold that goes so well with my NC30 or so skintone and brown/green eyes. I use it by itself alot of the time or with other eyeshadows for more drama. Very pretty!

I'm an NC25, asian, light skin, and dark hair.

This color looked awful on me. It was very frosty (which I usually like) but super orange not pink. Like another poster, it gave my eyelids a "weird tan". I went back and exchanged it the next day.
