I bought this after seeing Makeupgeek use this in a tutorial and it looked great on her. I was ecstatic to find it a CCO, once I brought it home it all changed. Its not very pigmented, the colour was unflattering, and the texture was very hard to work with. I returned this.

To me this looks like a slightly lighter version of Tan pigment. It's very pretty but I would not repurchase it because I think you could find a color like this somewhere cheaper and it's not really suited for my skintone. IMO this would be for warm complexions.

I love this color! Great color to have in your makeup collection, as it can be used in many different ways and looks.
I honestly wear it almost everyday.

I am sad they no longer make it. It was a little expensive but all pigments are worth the price they last forever!

I have been searching and searching for this color. I might just have to purchase the Haute High Jinks pigment vials again just so I can have a back up of this. I've been using this sparingly since I have fallen inlove with the color and I simply do not want to run out. It is a beautiful neutral champagne color, that gives just the right wash of shimmer on my lids. I use it as a middle lid highlight if I want just that extra sparkle in my eyes. I cannot stop raving about this product. I simply think it is beautiful, beyond words! Oh MAC if you're reading this please repromote this PLEASE!!! Oh and if anyone has this up for swap let me know ;)

Jardin Aires is a very pretty champagney shimmery color. It's a steep up above melon and very pretty for a neutral eye look. It's not too dark. I wish they still sold this color I'm almost empty :(

Gorgeous shimmery goodness! This really brightens up your whole face. It's a light, cool, champagne pink colour with a double dose of shimmer. Perfect for green eyes!

For as long as i have been using pigments, (about 10 years, now) i have always gone for the obvious option first. I'll bring it home and go straight for the eyes. Now, while Jardin Aires was only so/so as an eyeshadow, i tossed it to the side, favouring Goldenaire, Vapour, Phloof! or Nylon as an inner third or highlight colour.
As an NC15, i have to be careful about what i use for a highlight, as i am super pale. My lastest obsession with MSFs and other multi-purpose highlight products, i can say this is my current favourite, possibly HG?

The warm, golden tones really compliment my NC skintone and it really gives me a beautiful glow. Better than anything i have ever used on my face. That coming from me is something else, as i'm not easily pleased when it comes to higlights. - My latest love affair with Soft and Gentle MSF is waning, thanks to this!

I find the 150 gives just enough colour, rather than the 168, which packs the pigment onto the face.
All in all, i'd say for pale girls, this is such a beautiul brightener and i urge you to try this if you were a little less than impressed with it as a shadow.
FYI: I have pressed this pigment, which also gives better control over the amount of product used per application.

I like Jardin Aires a lot more than I thought I would. It's my favorite inner corner and browbone highlighter. The problem is, I don't find it to be long lasting even when I apply it wet (I use UDPP too). Other than that, gorgeous color and I'm happy I bought it.

I don't understand the low ratings for this pigment. I got a sample when it came out in a set of pigments just before Christmas '09 and I am still using it. I think the colour is so pretty on the lids - just lights up my eyes. I haven't had a problem with fall out, perhaps because I'm really careful, having read that fallout can be a problem. But I love this colour on the lid, on the inner corner or as a cheek highlight (a little goes a very long way).


I would love to purchase this product again, if only MAC would repromote it.

I like this product but I am not in LOVE with this product. I feel like this is one of the pigments I own that has the MOST fallout. It is a beautiful color, but I never reach for it because I am a more toned down makeup kind of girl. I am not on of those foiled metal lid girls. It is very beautiful in the jar.

This MAC pigment looks like a shimmery frosty champagne pink with a tiny hint of orchid on my lids...very pretty. Its very pigmented, easy to apply, & long lasting.

I prefer this over melon pigment as melon was way too bright orange on me. I am NC20 and find wearing orange extremely unflattering on me. This looks great with patina for a neutral look. It looks great with mink and sable as well as there is a nice contrast between the peachy tone in jardin aires and the green in mink and sable and this look still look toned down enough for work. I probably will not buy again as there are probably dupes that I can find in other brands.

Jardin Aires works wonderfully as a browbone highliter/inner corner/lid colour in warm looks. I use it with Rushmetal pigment.. pretty!

I really love this pigment! It may be a bit too glittery for some but I adore the pinky-golden sheen of this product. I just swatched it next to Fairylite, thinking THAT had a nice sheen - but Jardin Aires just knocked it out of the ball park! Will definitely be wearing this alot.

This was a suprise for me, as I expected it to be too orange or golden, but it was a pleasantly peachy butter yellow that was almost neutral with golden microglitter. It is a lovely color for the browbone and would likely be a beautiful addition to face powder or as a highlighter over blush.

The consistency is buttery and silky making it smooth in application and blending. Used with a primer, I don't get a lot of fall out, but I could see without the primer it could have a tendency to do that. This had a nice shimmery finish, not metallic or too shiney which I don't like too much and not really opalescent either. I guess it is semi-matte with subtle shimmer.

I would definitely repurchase this, as I have only a small amount in a sifter jar, and would love to buy a whole jar. I would also love to try this mixed with mmu for a complexion enhancer.

Lovely color. It can probably be duplicated, but it is lovely I recommend it to be tried if you can find it--it is LE but many etailers will sell a sample for less than 5 bucks and it is well worth it.

I too got this product in the Mischief Makers kit and I have to say its one of my favorite colors in the collection. Its such a versatile color - lid color, highlight color, lipgloss, maybe even skin finish? I'm definitely considering buying it again.

My very first pigment.
I got it at my local CCO last month for $13.75, what a steal!

It's a gorgeous peachy tan with shimmer, and is great to slap on in the mornings, swipe on some mascara and go. Very nice for bringing out my yellow/green eyes. :)

Love it, I may have to consider buying a backup, since it's limited edition.

I got this pigment in the new Mischief Makers collection released this holiday season. I think Jardin Aires is best used as an inner corner highlight. It's not too bright or sparkly, just a subtle highlight. To me Nars makes a similar colored eyeshadow called Alhambra, which I also love to use in the inner corner. JA is an "open my eyes up" color. Definite must have.
