MAC Goldmine vs. Gorgeous Gold comparison swatches

I meant to buy a gold from MAC a long time ago, but I couldn't decide which one to get! I ended up with both Goldmine and Gorgeous Gold after swapping. Here's Goldmine:


Goldmine is a true gold (like a pirate coin) while Gorgeous Gold is a very light. almost white-yellow with green undertones. Goldmine on left, Gorgeous Gold on right:


I am nc37, and my undertones REALLY bring out the green in Gorgeous Gold. I'd like to see what this looks like on lighter skin because it's so green on me. Goldmine on left, Gorgeous Gold on right:


The lippie on the left is MAC Velvet Teddy.

They both looks great especially the green.

Hmm Gorgeous gold doesn't come off as green on me. More like a light golden color. Isn't it weird they all look different depending on skin tone.

I'm about NC30 and Gorgeous Gold is like a soft gold on me. You can see a little bit of the green in it. I find that the green mostly comes out when I pair Gorgeous Gold with a green eyeshadow look. ;)
