Antiqued ($15), is a metallic, coppery-bronze with a beautiful, veluxe pearl finish. I love my browns, golds and nudes and it comes as no surprise that Antiqued is one of my favourite shades as well. It works in so many ways - as a sheer wash all over the lid, as a liner on the upper/lower lash line and with darker shades along the crease.
I like the versatility of Antiqued and how well it works with every skin tone. Most of the times, I use a MAC 217 brush for a wash of color all over the lid with just some liner and mascara. It is such a warm, beautiful color that looks effortlessly chic and is super easy to blend. Antiqued isn't extremely pigmented like a lot of MAC eye shadows but, the color is buildable. You could use a flat shader brush if you want to pack it on instead of a sheer wash. Also, like most powder shadows, you need a primer to increase wear time. I like to layer it over a shimmery brown base like the Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Busy Signal to make the color pop!
Overall, if you tend to gravitate towards golds, bronzes and coppery shades, you need Antiqued! I don't think anyone can not like this shade! It is so gorgeous, doesn't look overly foiled for a shimmery eye shadow and one of the best browns from MAC.
Have you tried Antiqued?
