FOTD: Old Gold Debuts A New Haircut!

If there is one MAC pigment that I've been wanting to try out, it's been Old Gold. I've seen many FOTDs using this tarnished gold pigment and could only wonder what it's powers were until I got to test it out firsthand. All I have to say is WHAT A BEAUTY! It has this antique sheen to it that just glistens no matter what angle. Gorgeous for earthtone looks and enough to get a little spicy with.

Here are the details of the look I did using MAC Old Gold Pigment:

Here's how you can get this Old Gold look!

Brushes You'll Need:

1. MAC 252 (or 242)
2. MAC 239
3. MAC 222 (or 224)
4. MAC 219
5. MAC 208
   

Eye Products You'll Need:

1. Indianwood p/p
   
2. Old Gold p/m
3. Daisychain e/s
   
4. A Little Folie e/s
5. Shroom e/s (or highlighter of your choice)
6. Blacktrack f/l
   
7. Graphblack Technakohl
   

How To Get The Eyes:

1. With a firm bristle brush like the MAC 252 (or it's kid sister the MAC 242), apply Indianwood p/p to the lid blending out the edges.
2. Using an eyeshadow brush such as the MAC 239, pick up some Old Gold p/m and apply over Indianwood p/p concentrating color on the inner parts of the lid and closer to the lashline.
3. With a blending brush like the MAC 222, blend Daisychain e/s into the inner crease. This will soften any of the harsh Old Gold p/m in that area.
4. Apply A Little Folie e/s with a MAC 239 to the outer 1/3 of the eyelid. Do this by placing the brush vertically, bristle-side down. Pull the color up towards the crease but concentrate the color near the lashline so as to naturally blend out the color.
5. Using the MAC 222 again, pick up a bit of A Little Folie e/s and starting from the outer crease, blend into the crease to further blend the Old Gold p/m and A Little Folie e/s. This will eventually meet with the Daisychain e/s we blended in Step 3.
6. Dot a pencil brush such as the MAC 219 into Signed, Sealed e/s only a couple times (you don't want to start with too much). Place the tip of the brush at the corner of the outer crease and draw a line towards the middle of the lid allowing the brush to follow the crease. This will create depth in the outer crease.
7. Using the side of the MAC 219, blend the line out. Don't drag the color into the lid, but away so as to keep the lid color from becoming dark. Follow through with a blending brush to further blend out the line if needed.
8. Highlight the brow bone with Shroom e/s and a MAC 239.
   
9. Line the upper lashline with Blacktrack f/l and a MAC 208.
10. Fill in the waterline with Graphblack Technakohl.
11. Curl eyelashes and finish off with your choice of mascara.
    

And with some great Old Gold eyes ready to go, I continued on the excitement of the day and (finally!) went to go get my hair did! Split ends and grown out dye is a thing of the past. Thanks to my cousin who put her Cosmetology skills to work, I got a fantastic cut!
