FOTD: 5/15 Golden Lemon, Coppering, Cranberry, and Brun

I recently gave my best friend a sample of all of my MAC pigments. I asked her today what her favorites have been and she responded that she absolutely loves Golden Lemon Pigment. I was very surprised.

I originally bought this color because it is absolutely gorgeous. I used it once when I first got it (almost a year ago) and have yet to use it again. I could not for the life of me remember why I had this stigma against it. As I was getting ready today I decided to bust it out. Then... it happened. I had golden yellow glitter bits sprinkled all down my face even after brushing and the eventual (and dreaded) wiping. The only way to completely get rid of it (which I still sparkled a bit) was to wet a rag and wash it away. There went my undereye concealer...

Now, don't get my wrong. I love this color. It has the prettiest shimmer to it. I just abhor fallout. When I use it in the future I'll put a thick layer of face powder around my eyes to help protect me.
