nARS Silent Night is a great gold, opaque shadow. Its gold , not a beige gold. Its even golder than NARS Goldfinger. There is nothing golder. The runner up is Estee Lauder Gold Nugget, its opaque, 18 karat goodness and goes on like velvet. Much smoother texture than MAC's if it matters, and rediculously long wearing. Its been my go to gold for years.
