MAC’s Old Gold Pigment is one of my favourite eye products.  This pigment has an interesting mix of gold, orange and green and looks different depending on the angle it is viewed.  I used a turquoise coloured paint pot underneath the pigment and applied blue eyeliner to provide an interesting contrast to the gold tones.
