Flat Gold is in the same family as Monarch Gold (also sweetscents pigment) but it is a bit more on the gold side. Easily used with Monarch, the two colors make a lovely duo.

Flat Gold is the cohesive shimmer style of pigment, which means if you use it with mixing medium, the effect will be liquid metallic. Coverage is better than with MAC's Golden Lemon pigment as the texture is finer. Next to each other, Golden Lemon looks very chunky and Flat Gold looks smooth as silk.

The three colors together- Monarch Gold, Flat Gold, and Brassy Fluidline from MAC make an awesome trio. Frostlite Fluidline as a highlighter, and the effect is magical.

If you add some MAC Golden Olive or Sweetscents Robins Egg Blue it really sets it off as an accent.

If this is your first sweetscents review....

If you want to check out these pigments, they are about $2 each for a 10g jar (MAC wants $18.50 for a 7.5g jar) and the quality is as good as MAC in most of the colors.

Go to http://www.sweetscents.com/mica_2.html and look for Mica Pack Combos at the bottom of the page.

Some of the colors that I am reviewing are not on the site yet, it is supposed to be revamped soon. You can talk with the sweetscents lady via phone or email (it is on the site) and tell her that you read my review of the color if you do not see it on the site (she knows me by now since I ask endless questions- I am the artist capri) and that way she will not wonder how you knew about the color.

She will also help you find colors you might like if you tell her what you like or are looking for. That is how I found so many awesome colors. She is a pigment addicts DREAM!
