i hate goldmine, i have it and NEVER use it cos it looks so ew on me, it's not gold is some sort of yellow brassy colour, hate it

my fave gold is pure ore, one of the metal-x eyeshadows, to me thast's what i call gold, no hint of yellow or orange, just gold... BUT it's a cream eyeshadow and don't know if that's what you're looking for

I personally think Goldmine is a yellow gold. It's too yellow for me, which I find suprising because I've got lots of yellow undertones. It's still not my best color though, and I'm yet to find a true gold in MAC.

maybe woodwinked? I'm thinking of getting that now..

Totally agreed with the Gold (metal) pigment. This is just a beautiful color, so is Rose Gold, but it sounds like you might be looking more for the Gold.

I really like MAC's Tempting. It's very sparkly, but it's the best gold I own. I have Woodwinked but it's not as gold to me as Tempting. HTH!!

goldmine is a true-gold on me.
gorgeous gold is a paler yellow-gold.

I second this exactly!

Golpari Beauty makes the best gold eyeshadow on the planet, however; because it is made from real gold, it is a bit pricy.

I really love Chanel's new gold collection for Fall of 2008. It is gold and the shade is very beautiful. The quad eyeshadow palette is amazing and looks to have an amazing gold shadow in it.

I think my favorite gold eyeshadow by MAC is Gorgeous Gold or Goldmine. Gorgeous Gold has that champagne gold kind of color that I truly love. Goldmine is a beautiful striking gold. They are both very versatile and just beautiful. I also love (and recommend) Urban Decay's half baked, as well as, Hard Candy's Buttered Popcorn.

I have a friend who uses her Girlactik Face Glimmer in 14k as an eyeshadow base. It is a beautiful gold. If you are looking for something like MAC's paintpot, I would recommend Bloom Eye Paint in Champagne.

The best affordable gold eyeshadows would be: Golden Pearl or 24 karet by NYX, Golden Glow by E.L.F., Golden by L.A. Colors, and Antiqued Gold by Milani.
