MAC Old Gold

 L: MAC Old Gold on skin. R: MAC Old Gold on top of black eyeshadow.




MAC Old Gold is a very interesting pigment. It looks like tarnished gold in the jar, warm gold/warm brown (like duochrome) with olive/green reflects on skin. When applied on a dark base, the green is pushed forward. The darker the base, the green-er it shows.

MAC Morange


MAC Morange is an Amplified Creme finish lipstick, described as a "loudmouth orange" by MAC. It applies smoothly and very opaque. In my opinion there's no other word that best describes this than INTENSE.


I was not entirely sure of this lipstick because I've never worn something so bold but after wearing it yesterday, I'm glad I got it. I absolutely love it.

I got this together with Ruby Woo through Back2MAC. I can't wait to try that. A few important issues I realise after wearing orange lipstick:

- Contrary to red lipstick, orange lips make your teeth look yellow. Which explains why there aren't any teeth-baring pictures here. Make sure your teeth don't have the slightest stain. If all fails, just smile with your mouth closed.

- It can make you look pale. Make sure to have some bronzer or flush of warm-toned blush on your cheeks.

- The key is subtlety in the rest of the face - it gives a more youthful and fresh look. I barely have anything in my eyes (Only frosty eyeshadow to highlight) but I think it would look great too with a hint of eye makeup. Instead of liquid foundation, I only did a light dusting of mineral powder. If you have the skin for it, I'd say flaunt it and don't mask it.
