Golden Shine

MAC Golden Shine Mineralize Eyeshadow Quad ($46.00 for 0.07 oz.) contains warm-toned neutrals to the tune of beige, copper, rosy copper, and brown. They can come together and create a nice, cohesive look (assuming one likes a lot of shimmer), but they need to be used with a dampened brush to apply well.

Champagne

Champagne is a soft gold with warm, orange undertones and a pearly sheen. The consistency was drier and felt a little loose, particularly when used dry as the powder sheered out and did not stick well to bare skin (or even over primer). I felt like this shade had to be applied with a dampened brush to get even, smooth coverage out of it. It wore well for five hours on me when I applied it to dry to the lid and seven hours when applied with a dampened brush.

Golden

Golden is a rich, medium copper with warm, orange undertones and a metallic sheen. It had sheer coverage that lasted for five hours and was prone to fallout when applied with a dry brush. The pigmentation was opaque, while the texture was easier to work with as the powder gripped the lid better and did not produce tons of fallout. The eyesahdow lasted for five hours with some fallout when applied dry and longer at eight hours when applied with a dampened brush.

Brown

Brown is a deep, red-toned brown with warm undertones and a satin finish. It had medium color payoff in a single layer when applied dry, while the texture was dusty and a bit prone to sheering out. When I used a dampened brush to apply the eyeshadow to the lid, the color payoff increased to opaque and was easier to blend out without it sheering out. It lasted for six and a half hours when applied to the lid dry and almost eight hours when applied to the lid with a dampened brush.
