True Gold (20M)

True Gold (20M) is a bright, sparkling antique gold with hints of green and a cooler champagne sheen. It is a chunkier shade that really has to be pressed and worked into the skin to avoid adding texture to the lids, thickening, as well as to manage the excessive amount of fall out during application. Once in place, it can look lovely, but it can take a little effort; if used with a slightly dampened brush, I found it helped a lot to apply more smoothly without the work.
