Would you buy this product again? No - I'd Get Samples

General Comments on this product: I picked up Pink Bronze pigment because I love other duochrome pigments like Golden Olive, and thought I'd give it a try. In certain lights, Pink Bronze will change from pink, to orange, to coppery/bronze colors. I find that on me, the color that it looks the most is a majorly orange-y pink, which wasn't what I was expecting. Overall it's a beautiful color, but I'm not sure that it's "MY" kind of color. (I have a pale face and dark features).

Buy again? Yes

A copper/terracotta base with shocking pink shimmer is the appearance of Pink Bronze to me. The shimmer is so intense that it does tend to tone down the orange factor. I like to use Pink Bronze as an accent when wearing bright pink as I find that the pink draws it into the equation without making it look weird. I put it with chartreuse sometimes, and work with it in the crease.

I also love it as a lipcolor. Challengning color that I am still playing with and will post any new discoveries I have made in the future. Love the intensity of it and the older formulation which is more shimmery and better coverage and wear than the newer ones.

i wouldnt buy again cuz i will never run out. This is a pinky/orangey color. Its like a orange color that reflects pink. I hardly and almost never use this color. i have only used it like 3-4xs and i wore it on the crease and lid, with some coco beach on the outer corners. Its a nice summery look. Its pretty, but i just dont have a lot of uses for it.

General Comments on this product: I recieved this in a swap as a sample and really didnt think id like it cause i didnt like Rose ... but that was when i was thinking of it as just an eye shadow ... silly me. This is the BEST blush i have ever used. I havent used it at work cause i'm a bit scared that its too glittery but i might give it a go tomorrow ... Its such a nice rosey/bronze colour ... i just rub it on my cheekbone ... very very pretty.

YOu could also use it on your lips ... i put it on and then use a coloured gloss on top .. it holds really well.
This went from being one of my least favs to my most fav!

It looks so orangey in the container..but it goes on niceley for me. If I mix it with Vanilla or Provence, it looks nice with my eyes.

Beautiful unique color, earthy orange with hot pink reflects and lots of shimmer. I especially love this color in the summer. Looks great on eyes and cheeks, + makes a gorgeous lip gloss.

Very pretty color, coppery orange in the pot but once on it turns a lovely soft orange with pink shimmer.
I have a sample at the moment but I plan to buy the full size because I love it so much.

I recently got a sample of this and I love it so much. I couldn't get it to work as an eye color, but it looks simply fabulous on lips. I'd say the color (with clear lipgloss) on the lips is a bit similar to 'Pleasureseeker' lipstick, but a bit less peachy. Love it!

Would you buy this product again? No, but only because I will never use it all

I bought this colour because when I was in the store and I swatched it on my hand, it jumped out as being very strange. This is part of why I enjoy MAC's pigments so much: so many of the colours are incredibly unique (my favourite ever is Old Gold) and strange and not something you see every day. I have a rather large collection of pigments and I try to wear them all occassionally, but this one I don't wear too much. Nonetheless, I love it. It's very ambiguous. It is pink/copper/bronze/orange/coral/neon-y all at once. It is quite finely milled, so I enjoy the texture very much because it goes on smoothly and stays on, and is very easy to work with. Also, depending if you apply lightly or go for a heavy application, it is either an incredibly subtle, pretty day look, or you could do something more dramatic with it (in conjunction with some other bright colours).
