Gold shadow advice?

[kchalbi]

I'm wondering if anyone can compare some of the gold shadows or make a recommendation for me? I have and really like Mahalo and Spellbound. They both come off as cooler golds on me, which I really like for some looks but am looking for a little warmer of a gold, but in that same depth-something to wear on the lids. Does anyone know how 4matic, Bond, Caliber, or Mazel Tov compare in tone/depth/finish? Are there any others I might be overlooking? Thanks!

Most of my fav. golds are GWP shades. Of those available on the site, my favorites are homecoming queen, juiced, and tailfeather

Element- antique gold, very metallic
Bond-true gold. Very metallic
Bling- another fairly true gold shimmer
4matic- lighter more wearable pearlized gold
Tailfeather- gold blended with copper. very wearable. one of my favorite one-color washes.

I noticed that when you pull up golds on the site it doesn't really pull up the gold hilight shades which are actually the ones i wear the most.

Homecoming Queen- one of my favorites. A cream and gold blend
Juiced- An amped up more gold suede version of homecoming queen. another favorite.
Sonic- Similar to sprite.
Sprite- Very shimmery gold hilite. Too sheer to wear on its own

Second love for Homecoming Queen and Tailfeather. I wear Homecoming Queen nearly every day. One of the few shadows I've reordered because I used it all! Juiced is nice, too--Sam's description is spot on. Love Tailfeather as a subtle one color wash, and always have Homecoming Queen on inner corners to brighten up my eyes.

Thanks so much for your input! I have and like Homecoming Queen and Juiced, they're lovely highlighters, but they're very whitish on me-I'm looking for something a little darker. I also have Tailfeather, but remember that one being more brown? I'll have to try that again. Even Papyrus is more of a highlight for me, though closer in tone to what I'm envisioning.

Do you think 4matic is similar in tone to Mahalo (more of an olive-gold?)-I do like that type of color, but have a few and am looking for a more bronzey, caramel or even a rose-gold type color-something a bit warmer. I'd definitely go for a suede/pearl type finish over metallic, if possible!

i quickly checked through the eye shadow colours on the website, which ones could fit your requirements, and this is my preliminary result:

bronzey/coppery gold tones:
- touring
- meteor
- orbit
- luxe

rosey gold tones:
- cashmere
- loaded
- purrr
- fierce
- frills

others that might work:
- caliber
- bare
- velocity
- honey
- posh

i'm not sure if i have all of them, but of the ones i have, i can swatch them for you side-by-side once i'm back home tonight

I found a sample of Honey in my makeup box--it is a nice warm gold, not too dark and not too light. It has actually become my new favorite lid color! You might want to check it out.

Flash is a really pretty gold on me, even though it's listed as a neutral highlight.

I have come across O9 be my brightsmaid pigment from essence cosmetics

it is gorgeous in real life but full of chemicals.

Is there an SN gold eyeshadow that has silver and/or white pigments too and is fairly or very shimmery/glittery?

Sprite would be the closest I think.
