I'm not a huge fan of MAC, but I do use this. It's the only MAC product I own. I use this as a bronzer. It's currently my go-to bronzer. Other bronzers tend to be too brown and look too harsh on my...

I have yet to find another bronze color I like more than NARS Laguna. While this is a blush, it looks weird used as a blush on my light skin. I am NW15. It works like a bronzer for me and while it...

I debated between this blush, Margin, and Warm Soul before purchasing it. I have worn it for several days, and I am now at the point where I accept that it doesn't look good on me. I am so...

I actually struggle to describe Trace Gold; is it a blush, highlighter or bronzer? To me, it's a combination of all three, and I really enjoy using it. In the pan it looks like a brown with plenty...

Trace gold is something that i would have probably never given a second look to at the mac store. It looks pretty bland and yellowish brown in the pan. But I saw this being used by someone with a...

Hmm, I'll have to disagree with the majority here-this didn't work for me. I didn't really see how this is suppose to be a blush. It would make a lovely eyeshadow (but I own many similar shades...

Another score from MAC! I am pretty much addicted to MAC blushes...prior to trying one, I had never worn blush before. I wouldn't really ever consider wearing Trace Gold alone,just because it is...

Haha, the 'if you lost or ran out' part of the writing this review makes me laugh as I actually DID lose this...and after only a couple uses. Still hasn't turned up and that's been forever ago, but...

When I first put this blush on my NC30 skin, it was a lovely subtle shimmery bronze glow. However, as the day went on, it started to change into a more reddish and ruddy hue on my cheek. What a...

This is not a colour I ever would have picked out for myself. Being pale, I've always been scared of bronze/gold tones that I thought would look harsh, orange-y or otherwise 'fake' on my skin....

I absolutely LOVE Trace Gold. I border the fair/medium line quite a bit and I purchased this looking for a very soft, natural looking bronzer. This fits the bill perfectly. Let me tell you, it's...

I love this blush. I'm around NW25 right now and it's perfect. I love the glow it gives my cheeks with a slight bit of tint. This product really brings light to the face in a very summery/natural...

I am actually writing this review as a reminder to myself to quit reconsidering this blush! I am NW20 and no matter how I cut it, it looks ruddy on me (color, but with sheen). The idea of a gold...

Effin beatiful. I'm an NC25 with hazel eyes and dark warm brown hair. I wear it as a blush, on my eyelids, on the cupid's bow. Makes me feel like Oscar Wilde's Salome..."Why does she look at me...

No pigmentation in the blush at all, I can hardly even get a swatch to show on my wrist. I really am starting to feel like MAC isn't what it's at all hyped up to be. I can't seem to find a product...
