Welcome back to my five-part series on gold makeup. There are so many different gold eye shadows on the market right now that I found it challenging to come up with my three favorites. If you have any gorgeous and glimmery gold-metallic shadows that you especially love, please leave a comment with your recommendation below.
Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Glimmer in True Gold ($13) is a very sheer, almost translucent shimmer shadow that works to create a hint of subtle sparkle to your eyes. It's similar to gold dust in that it can also be worn on your décolletage and cheeks, but this also has a special quality because it can transform from wet to dry for a more dramatic effect.

Glam Rocks by Lorac in Metallic Gold ($16) is a loose-powder shadow that is packed with richly-pigmented, sparkly color. This is the opposite of subtle, so go easy at first because it tends to spread. The good news is that it lasts really long. I also love this salt shaker–like packaging, which makes it easy and fun to sprinkle!
Too Faced Shimmer Veils in Angel Hair ($18.50) is a golden copper with gold-glitter shadow that provides crease-proof, medium coverage. It comes with a built-in wand for easy application and creates a super-shimmery, almost shiny look on your lids.

That Lorac stuff looks awesome
1I think I need it!
I am addicted to gold eyeshadow!
mineral makeup is THE BEST!
2I'm a BE girl and I have this shadow that came from QVC in a Today's Special Value. Awesome! I love BE but I also use others cause I'm a makeup junkie and proud of it.
3I have that Glam Rocks by Lorac - it's awesome! Its kinda weird because the shadow is clumped into little rocks - glam rocks, I guess.
So, I have to shake the little rocks into the palm of my hand, then
swish it around with the brush until its more loose shadow-y than clump-y. But, still...its a beautiful gold and a great shadow.
4I love Amber Lights by MAC. It's my everyday eyeshadow (blue eyes) because it's a perfect gold coppery shimmer without being too in-your-face. It also applies very well
5BE Glimmers are my favorite eyeshadows...I love how long they last, the colors they come in, and the shimmer is just gorgeous.
I don't have this gold one, I might have to pick it up!
6Love BE but not into the gold...
7Love gold, but dislike cream and loose powder formulas... am a big fan of Urban Decay Baked ...
8Gold eye shadow is great for the holidays! Can't wait to create looks w/ the gold!
9This looks quite nice and wearable - not too garish at all!
10Gold really does wonders to your look. I use it quite often actually.
*Since Im corporate, I cant do anything other than suits at work, so I really take advantage of accessories, shoes and makeup. And gold is one of my faves.
Nars has a great gold toned cream shadow as well. Its called El Dorado. Its one of my everyday shadows.
11love love love bare minerals...and the glimmers are gorgeous, so very sparkly =)
12aahhhh how i love anything gold! its just sooo pretty!

13I confess, gold has been a yearlong staple for me, works well with my eyes and skin.
14Does that make me soo yesterday, current and a trendsetter? : P
15I love gold eye and nail colors. I love MAC and I think that I will try the "Amber Lights" that was suggested (after I finish my hoiday shopping of course!).
16The two faced one looks really cute and easy to use.
