Using some of these pigments…
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010Swatch 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.
Simple Old Gold Look

I don’t think the pictures do the look justice 
I love Old Gold, I have no idea why I do not use it more often! It’s been just about the only MAC product I went insane trying to get!

Painterly applied as base. Heritage Rouge spread all over lid and up into crease with 239 brush. Old Gold applied in inner corner corners with 219 brush, and under lower lash line. Magnetic Fields applied in crease and outer Vwith 217 brush. Soft Brown used to blend out crease, 217 brush. Vanilla used to further blend, 275 brush. Shroom applied as a highlight, 275 brush.
This was my first time using Heritage Rouge, so that’s good! This reminds me of the look I did a few days ago with Old Gold, just the colors reversed.

New Old Gold
Friday, October 30th, 2009My empty pans that I have coming so I can press my pigments have been out for delivery for 2 days now… it’s really starting to annoy me! I thought they were coming yesterday… no. So, ok, today! NO… Luckily I have stuff going on tonight so I wouldn’t have time to press anyway. But I swear if they don’t come tomorrow, I’m placing an angry phone call!
