Golden Lemon & Old Gold

Other than the Crush Metal Pigments from last year’s Spring Forecast Collection, I don’t own any pigments from MAC’s permanent range. Recently, I obtained some pigment samples to try out for a gold look. The most golden pigments available at the MAC outlet I went to were Golden Lemon & Old Gold.

Yellow wouldn’t be my first choice of eyeshadow colour but to be adventurous, one must try as many colours as possible. Golden Lemon is more of a lemon shade than golden. It’s a vibrant, sunny yellow which really brightens up the eyes. There is quite a lot of shimmer and I use it on the inner corners of my eyes blending towards the middle of the lids.

Old Gold is such a beautiful colour, it’s gold with olive-green undertones. Paired with Golden Lemon, it gives the eyes such a golden glow. It tones down the brightness of Golden Lemon. I like Old Gold more than Golden Lemon, it has a lot of potential as I can pair it with my two yellow eyeshadows (yes, I have very few yellow shadows).

I used these 2 pigments in just 4 steps:-

Apply Impeccably Rich Big Bounce Shadow
Apply Golden Lemon from inner corner of eyelids
Apply Old Gold to outer corner of eyelids
Blend both colours together

The pigments apply very smoothly and are easy to blend. I used Impeccably Rich Big Bounce Shadow as a base because I wanted longer staying power and it’s always easier to apply pigments over some sort of eyeshadow base or primer. You can even use concealer as a base if you don’t have any base/primer.

MAC’s pigments are only available at their stand alone outlets and they are 4.5g/RM82 each.
