Swatch of the Day: MAC Old Gold Pigment
Sunday, July 18th, 2010One of my favorites!! Not sure why it took me so long to swatch this, as it’s a completely fun pigment!
MAC Old Gold Pigment
Description: Frosted tarnished gold (Frost, Permanent)
This is a duochrome pigment, and looks either gold or green depending on the angle and light. The base you apply it over can dramatically change the tone, so I decided to swatch over several different paint pots.
My skintone is a MAC NW20 and all photos were taken under “natural light” light bulbs, which mimic natural daylight.
First up is Old Gold applied over Painterly paint pot.
Now Old Gold applied over Artifact, Blackground, Greenstroke, and Delft paint pots.
Blackground and Delft really brought out the green in the pigment, while Artifact enhanced the gold. Always neat to see how paint pots can change a color!
As a side note, the photo of Old Gold on macpro.com looks horrid. It looks like a muted bland pink peach. I have a calibrated monitor for photo editing, so my colors aren’t off… Another reason why I do not go off of the swatch photos on the MAC sites when looking at colors.
Happy 4th of July!

I used an insane amount of shadows for this which I don’t think I really had to do, but oh well, got me using some stuff And still managed to take pictures before I applied my liner… a little too eager this morning to get going to the festivities!
I LOVE Prrr lipglass, I can’t stop wearing it everywhere.
Look for April 10, 2010

Later after work I decided to add some Blacktrack Fluidline to my waterline because I heard it’s awesome on waterlines. Well… ha. It adhered to my contacts, and wouldn’t come off! I ended up having to take my contacts out, putting them in to soak (I think they might be ruined honestly), and wearing my glasses the rest of the day. BUT… it DOES last longer than Urban Decay Zero does on my waterline, so that’s a good sign! I’ll just have to figure out how to apply it and not get it all over my contacts. Did I finally solve my black waterline liner issues?!
I received some new goodies as well from a sale off of Specktra… I got Sunbasque blush and a vial of Teal pigment. All for $15 shipped! I’m pleased. Sunbasque gives me a nice warm glow, and luckily it’s fairly sheer so it can be built. Teal was just an impulse buy, I figured for that price I might as well get it!
