Greens Using MAC Colour Forms' Gilded Green Pigment

A lot of you know that I love greens, but MAC Gilded Green is one of my top faves. Why? It's a very pretty, unique green because I couldn't immediately think of something that can dupe it. There are similar greens, like maybe Juxt eyeshadow, but none that is so similar that can be an exact dupe. Here's a rather simple step-by-step Gilded Green look. All products MAC unless otherwise noted:


Apply Beige-ing shadestick on lid to brows and lower lashline. Apply Greenstroke paint pot on lid using a concealer brush.


Using the 239 brush (or any flat paddle-shaped brush), apply Gilded Green pigment foiled on inner lid to 2/3 on the way out.


Using the 222 brush, apply Gulf Stream on crease and outer lid.


Using the same 222, apply Black Tied and Club on crease and outer V, blending into Gulf Stream.


If needed, apply Gulf Stream above crease to blend harsh lines. Apply Solar White on browbone and inner corners.


Apply Almay liquid eyeliner, fill in brows, apply mascara. Not in pic: I applied glitter liner in Peacocky over the black liquid liner. Using 219 brush, apply Gilded Green on inner to mid lower lashline, and Gulf Stream on mid to outer lower lashline. Apply Graphblack technakohl liner to waterline.

decorative diva, askmewhats, gio- thank you! =)

mary-I'm loving all your pigments!

Vanessa- thanks! :) I was about to use it with Humid too, but my other greens were a little too unloved, so I used Club after a long while.

Hey, Aileen.

I answered your question about Crown Brush under the same comment, but here it is just in case.

They did e-mail me an invoice, but the actual invoice was a PDF file that I couldn't open for some reason, and even though they sent it again, I still couldn't open it. If they haven't contacted you by phone already, they most likely will, but if not, then I would suggest calling/e-mailing them about your order.

I haven't done a green look for awhile, so this may just inspire me to pick up my green shadows soon :) I love the lip color!
