Antiqued is a veluxe pearl from the permanent line (though that doesn't mean it won't be discontinued in the future!). MAC describes it as an "ash brown with bronze" but I don't see any ash tones to this at all. It's a medium toned brown with a coppery shimmer. This pulls it slightly to the warm toned side, but it doesn't have too much red in it to make it unwearable on my skin tone. Texture-wise, it sits in about the middle of the veluxe pearl shades I have. It's not the softest and it's not the hardest.
While it looks better with a primer, this is one of the few MAC shadows I have that shows well on the skin without a primer. The shimmer does show better with a primer though and it does fade on my quite quickly unless I have something underneath. With a primer I get about 8 hours wear from this.
I usually use this as a crease colour, but I have to be careful not to over blend. It can pull a little too warm if the colour is too blended on my crease. It's also pretty nice packed onto the lower lash line. Those with blue eyes might like this, the coppery shimmer will help bring out the blue of your eyes.
MAC Shadows are available from MAC (website/stores/counters):
-Pro pans are £9.50
-Pots are £11.50
I always look at this in Mac and pass by it for some reason -- I have Amber Lights and Coppering and I know it'd look so good with them!
