This is not the best MAC eye shadow but it's nice to coat over other gold eye shadows. It makes it more shiny and pretty. I wouldn't wear this shadow by itself but blending with others makes it...

This color is very unique. It's not really gold but more of a lighter iridescent yellow/green color. It sounds gross but it reminds me of the color some insects have on their backs so it changes...

This is a nice, pigmented eyeshadow, but comes off more yellow than gold on my lids. I tend to use this as a subtle blending color, or whenever I feel like having a splash of yellow. I would...

This has a lot of fallout so tap your brush to get rid of excess and pat rather than swipe on. Or try applying with a damp brush, sheered out. Applied this way it makes a pretty highlight to wear...

I wanted to get Goldmine but the MAC store only had this color in the gold group. I was like, what the heck it's still gold. I read the review after the purchase and they made me nervous because of...

This is great! I have very oily lids, and have to use a primer, such as UDPP, or MAC Paint, to make any shadow last, even so, most shadows crease inside two hours. Not Mac. With primer, this shadow...

I was a little nervous because the gold is REALLY gold in the container. However, it is really nice. Like everyone else says, it definitely comes out greener on the eyelid. It's nice though and...

This eyeshadow is the exact color of a may-bug's back as it reflects the sun. Weird comparison, but no matter how gross insects can be, this one at least has a gorgeous color. This one. Gorgeous...

I like this color. It wasn't what I had originially expected. The reason why is because, when applicated, it doesn't look the same on my lid as what I expected in the pan. That being said, it is a...

This pretty gold highlighter has a green cast because of the iridescent green shimmer in it. This takes on a split personality depending on what color you use it with. It looks great for a smoky...

Great colour payoff (easy to apply and whatever) and very pigmented, but I don't like the colour. It's a very yellow-green gold - not what I expected. I was hoping for more of a frosty colour....

For a veluxe pearl, gorgeous gold doesn't have the same buttery texture of rose blanc and warming trend. It took a good base and numerous swipes of the eyeshadow before the color will show. It's...

I'm NC30, btw. I really like the texture of this eyeshadow. It's got a nice fine soft shimmer, but the color is kind of surprising. It looks like it could be a lighter cousin to Goldmine, but it...

I recently purchased Gorgeous Gold after seeing it used in several FOTD's. As others have said, it's a golden yellowed green shade. I personally like the veluxe pearl formula - it has a soft...

I love this eyeshadow a lot. It's more of a light shimmery yellow then a gold. It is a very pretty color on the lids and pigmented, but the staying power for this eyeshadow on me is not as good as...
