Golden Green is what I expected MAC's Kelly Green to look like. Much brighter green like a true kelly, compared to MAC's Kelly, the shimmer is more intense, and the color is brighter and leans a bit more toward the lime side. MAC's Kelly looks more matte compared to Golden Green.
Used with mixing medium, Golden Green looks like liquid metal. Very beautiful color. Gold and Green interference shimmer give it a nice depth too.
Do not confuse this with MAC's Golden Olive, by the way. They are not even in the same family. Golden Olive looks like olive green compared to this color.
Dry application of this pigment is lighter- you can wash it out to a nice translucence or you can pack it on for more intense color. Mixing Medium will make it brilliant. Goes nicely with MAC's Green Brown Pigment.
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!
