One of my most exciting discoveries has been MAC REFLECTS GLITTER. Microsized particles make up this product, and for the first time you can wear glitter and not look like you fell into a vat of craft glitter at Michaels Arts and Crafts Store!

I have several of these colors and found them to be a vital part of my makeup kit.

WHAT IS GOLD REFLECTS LIKE?

MAC GOLD REFLECTS GLITTER is an interesting cloudy white translucent glitter that flashes gold when the light hits it in certain directions. It is very small in particle so that it looks very beautiful without looking gaudy.

The gold color is not overly yellow, but is more of a cool metallic yellow- like you would see in lighter gold jewelry.

MAC GOLD REFLECTS GLITTER has a capacity to adhere to skin very well.

HOW TO USE GOLD REFLECTS GLITTER

Gosh, the uses for this stuff are almost endless. Here are some ideas.

EYES

Although MAC does not recommend this for eye use, many people use it with great success. I have even talked to people with contacts who use it succesfully and love it around the eyes. Just remember it is your responsibility if you choose to use it around the eyes.

Mix into pigments- makes a lovely glimmer in pigment colors!

Spread over eyeshadows or pigments after they are on eyes.

Use with MAC MIXING MEDIUM FOR EYELINER to apply as an eyeliner.

HAIR

Spray hair in a fancy style like prom or wedding style and then quickly take a pinch of MAC REFLECTS GOLD GLITTER and sprinkle it in the air so it will settle on the hair and stick when the spray dries- GORGEOUS effect- just a tiny bit of twinkle.

FACE

For a nice dressy look, just take a tiny but of glitter on a brush and swoosh it down the highlight area of the cheekbones.

LIPS

This is my favorite- I love MAC REFLECTS GOLD GLITTER mixed in lipsticks or glosses. I also dip some of my fancy lipsticks into the glitter so it sticks to the lipstick and then as I apply , I get just a touch of sparkle when I apply the lipstick.

A tiny touch of MAC REFLECTS GOLD GLITTER over metallic red lipstick (such as MAC Queen's Sin, Port Red, NYC Retro Red, etc) in the center lower lip and then pressed to mix into lip color adds a beautiful regal touch to dressy makeup.

FINAL COMMENTS

I absolutely LOVE MAC REFLECTS GOLD GLITTER. If you ever have seen red lipstick or other colors of eye makeup or lip gloss and love the tiny itty bitty gold particles in it, chances are that you are seeing something just like this glitter.

If you have seen MAC Solar Bits in Black Ore and like the gold glimmers in that- you will get an effect like that MAC REFLECTS GOLD GLITTER- it can be sheered out or used smooth and metallic.
