Our verdict

A light gold loose pigment for anyone who wants a frosty wash or an intense highlight on the eyes. Loose powder is messier than a pressed shadow, so it takes some care.

Overview

Makeup lovers who like a frosty lid get a very light, warm gold loose pigment from MAC. The concentrated powder can be dusted on for a subtle wash or applied damp for a stronger, foiled effect.

One jar that goes from sheer shimmer to intense metallic, depending on whether it is used wet or dry, makes it flexible. The limited-edition packaging adds collector appeal. Loose pigment can fall onto cheeks during application.

Who it's for

Fans of shimmering, light-catching eye looks will use it for washes and highlights. People who dislike fallout or want a matte eye should choose a pressed shadow.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Highly concentrated pigment
  • Works wet or dry
  • Light gold suits highlighting
  • Builds from sheer to intense
Cons
  • Loose powder can fall out
  • Limited-edition packaging may not be restocked

Performance notes

Intensity depends on how it is applied: dry gives a sheer, frosty wash, while a damp brush packs the pigment for a stronger metallic finish. Tapping off excess before application reduces fallout. A primer helps loose powder grip the lid.
