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.

    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!

    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.

But I swear if they don’t come tomorrow, I’m placing an angry phone call!

    I am tempted to add some of my Reflects Copper glitter a little bit over the lid as I’m going out to dinner with friends, and it’s practically Halloween. I’ll see if I get around to it. I’m still being bitter about my missing empty pans :(
