Very pretty color. However, I prefer to use this as a highlight (cheeks) opposed to an eyeshadow. It would work as a light eyeshadow... but I tend to gravitate to more bold colors for eyes. Pale shimmery gold color.

This pigment is amazing. Apart of the 2008 Holiday collection, my roommate gave it to me among the others as a late birthday gift. Love that it can be used on the inner eye or as a highlight color. It does wonders for making you look awake and vibrant. It will be a sad day I run out of this pigment. Pricing is based on the fact that I got it free! :P

Gold Dusk was part of the Little Darlings 2008 Holiday Set (warm colors). It's a beautiful shimmery pale yellow color. In the container, it looks way too pigmented to wear as a highlighter, but the sheerness definitely surprised me. I thought I'd only be able to wear this on my adventurous days. This is just great as a highlighter and on the inner corner of eyes. The other colors in the set are Melon, Gold Mode, Gold Stroke and Reflects Antique Gold. They come packaged in a cylinder case covered in shiny red patent fabric.

Gold Dusk is absolutely gorgeous!! I can't see how someone couldn't find a habitual use for this stunner! This is softer than the regular "gold" pigment, less bright than golden lemon (see picture I've attached in the header, which shows it swiped on my hand, for reference, I'm an MMM skintone). It's the perfect neutral pale buttery gold highlighter. I would describe this as a marriage of cream, gold and buttery in color. This is stunning on the browbone, inner corners of eyes, as a light "wash" for a deeper crease color. The possibilities with this are endless! Definitely one of my most reached for and prettiest pigments in my stash!

Gold Dusk is a yellow-ish gold. It's very shimmery and goes on very sheer on the lid. It's great as a highlight for the browbone or inner corner of the eye when applied just a little. It goes well with ANY darker or funky color, like fuchsia. I love it!

I received a free sample of Gold Dusk with a puchase. I think it's the perfect sheer gold shade! Looks lovely with purple :)

I love this pigment! I got a residue jar from someone on lj and I just realized how much I love it. It's a great highlighter and overall lid color. I just bought a jar of this for $24 and I am happy! :)

love love LOVE this pigment.. im a big fan gold sheer gold shadows and this is the HG of them all... as a lot of the previous reviewers mentioned it does look intimidatingly yellow in the jar but it goes on beautifully... great to use as a wash, highlight, or stand alone color...


if you ever have the chance to buy this pigment do yourself a favor and buy two

Gold Dusk is a pale creamy yellow gold. It is a good highlighter and goes well with greens, blues and browns. I find it very useful. It is not a strong gold colour - definitely a highlighter. Go for MAC's Golden Lemon or Gold if you want a strong gold coloured pigment. The texture is good and fine (some MAC pigments are too chunky). Thumbs up!

A dear MUA friend of mine was so kind as to give me a generous sample of this pigment. It's a really pretty light yellow-gold. To me, this didn't apply very shimmery on me at all. I stole the Sundressing postcard look one day, except for the Softwash Grey, I used the Asian exculsive: Softwashed, with Naked Pigment as my highlight color. It came out fabulously! All I would say is that it is so light, it needs a base under the pigment just so it will "pop" more. If you don't it is so sheer it can make you look tired.

best. pigment. ever. it looks fantastic with darn near everything under the sun and brightens up ANYONE's eyes. it goes on so smooth, i don't have to use mixing medium or dust myself off afterwards. i really wish they'd bring this one back...it's a beautiful light yellow-gold, not chunky at all, applies like a dream and blends easily.

Gold dusk is a shimmery yellow-gold that is quite sheer. I forgot the collection it was a part of, but I'm so glad that I picked this one up since I *think* it was limited edition. It will seriously last me a lifetime! I don't wear it that often but for some reason, whenever I do wear it, I get compliments. It looks very shimmery and one might think to wear this only when going out, but I wore this to work (ex-work now) several times! Even the office "weirdo" made a comment, "Ooo, I like your eyes". Creepy, but maybe in a good way? Haha. I like to keep things simple, so I just use Gold Dusk on the lid, Soba on the crease and Dipdown to line. Somehow the gold looks extremely flattering on my brown eyes.

Gold Dusk has become repetitive in utilizing when I do my make-up. It's a perfect highlighter that goes with practically any shade combination for the eyes that I can think of! I wish I would have purchased another container!

Gold Dusk is gorgeous. Shimmery and really close to the colour of real gold metal. It works great for me as a highlight, wash and for a subtle nude eye on days when I just don't feel like doing the big deal...definitely full jar worthy.

I only wear this pigment on my eyes along with the Softwash Grey pigment that was a LE also in the Sundressing collection. I love these and I think they work work on anyone and also make a very suprising color combination. I would have never thought of using these two together.
The color is a very smooth, very light, neutral gold color and also can be worn mixed with a gloss on the lips. These make my skintone (nc35) really pop!!

This is a very pretty and unusual pale yellow gold. I think it would look good on a range of skintones, especially medium and dark. That being said, I'm fair and can wear this, although I find that it really only looks best with greens on me. I tried it once as a wash with black liner and ended up looking like a bee! It was slightly better with brown liner but on my skin it's just too yellow to use just as a wash without any other color. I also tried pairing it with bronzes and browns but they didn't work either, I think the yellow tone was too strong. I took a lipstick off for the lack of versatility for me since I can only wear it with greens, but overall it's a very nice and interesting color.

Typically I really like MAC pigments, but this one was a disappointment to me. I am a MAC NW20 w/hazel eyes & dark hair. This yellow gold did not flatter me at all. I tried using it with several different color combinations and nothing worked. Additionally, I used it w/my UD PP which has never failed yet except w/this pigment. After several hours of wear, the pigment from my lid was all creased & faded. The quality of the pigment is typical MAC - well pigmentated, smooth texture, ect. but it just didn't work for me. Typical MAC pigment packaging so nothing remarkable there. I definitely would not repurchase this pigment & I will probably not use this again. Glad I split the jar in thirds w/a couple of others.
