MAC El Dorado Eye Kohl ($17.50 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “bold gold.” It’s a medium-dark gold with warm, bronzy undertones and a pearly sheen. It had semi-opaque coverage in one stroke, which was buildable to mostly opaque coverage in two layers. The texture was firm but not stiff, and it didn’t drag or feel uncomfortable to apply. The color lasted for eight hours on my lower lash line. ColourPop Captivating (LE, $7.00) is warmer (95% similar). NARS Campo de' Fiori (P, $24.00) is lighter (95% similar).

MAC Paragon Eye Kohl ($17.50 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “champagne gold.” It’s a light-medium, peachy gold with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good coverage in one pass, and the texture was firm but not sharp. It didn’t drag or tug on the lash line, but it isn’t a waxy or creamy eyeliner either. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me. Estee Lauder Pink Gold (P, $28.00) is warmer (95% similar). Zoeva Myth (P, $7.50) is lighter (95% similar). Estee Lauder Pearl (P, $28.00) is lighter (90% similar). Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood (Metallic) (PiP, ) is more shimmery, lighter (85% similar).
