Yeah, I dont know any non-metallic gold shades, as natural gold does have a metallic sheen....?

La Femme e/s Gold, perfect gold.. none of the MAC e/s to me are "gold". They're either too orange, too yellow.. the La Femme e/s are true to the names they have

Best Gold MAC Eyeshadow?

I got a MAC gift card today, and am considering what to buy.
I need to replace my UD "Twisted" eyeshadow, which is 1) a little greenish, 2)too glittery for this contact lens wearer, and 3) about 1,000 years old.
What is the best MAC soft gold highlight shadow?
My coloring: pale pink-ivory skin; dark brown hair; jade green eyes.
Nothing too yellow, orange or peach, please.

Re: Best Gold MAC Eyeshadow?

If you want it as a highlight, you can use Goldmine, but apply it very lightly or else it may look odd (like, maybe with a blending brush). You may also want to try Motif, which is a soft yellow with a pinkish reflect, but you should probably try that one on in the store. It can look either very odd or very beautiful, IMO, depending on your undertones. But from your description I think it would look good.

Goldmine is lovely! and theres also Gorgeous Gold but you might wanna swatch that first cuz on some people it could look a little greenish

I love Retrospeck for gold but it is very shimmery. Gorgeous Gold is chartruese green on me so definately try that one on in the store first.
