Finish: Veluxe Pearl / Beige with gold pearl
Known Dupes: Naked Lunch, Gift O’ Glamour pigment, UD Sidecar
All That Glitters is best described as a true champagne color and is an absolute DREAM to work with! Not only is it super pigmented, it applies to the lid so easily and with little effort. This has a similar highlight effect (like Pink Freeze) when placed on the middle of the lid, surrounded by darker colors. I’m amazed at the large amount of colors All That Glitters pairs so easily with; my most favorite combo would have to be #6, as it’s unexpected to be so beautiful with Lucky Green and Sumptuous Olive. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box with this one!
Look #1
MAC eyeshadows used:
- Twinks (inner and outer third of lid; line lower lashline)
- All That Glitters (middle of lid)
- Quarry (crease)
- Blackberry (deepen and define crease)
- Vanilla (blend)

Love #7 – your so talented.
Aww, thank you for your sweet words!
1, 3, 4, 6 are my fav’s LOL And I have most if not all the colors-Except All that Glitters LOL. I was told more mature eyelids should use Exp. Pink instead. Whats a close shade to Brown Down? Cause #3 is my all Time Favorite being that I have dark brown eyes.
LOL! Too funny!
You could definitely use Expensive Pink in place of ATG – they are very similar (you can hardly see the difference between them in Look #7). A dupe for Brown Down would be Handwritten (MUCH easier to work with too!) – you could also try Mulch if you don’t have Handwritten.
Thanks Z-Do have Mulch. Will try that look.
i love all of these!! so beautiful
i was resistant to purchasing this one because i know it’s a cult favorite and that kind of thing automatically turns me off, but of course i couldn’t help myself and boy is this one of the best eyeshadows in MAC’s lineup. i wish they could all be so pigmented and buttery
Same here, Joanna! I kept hearing how everyone was always gushing all over this one and it made me WANT to avoid it. LOL! I feel the same – wish they all had this awesome texture!
Z! U totally came up with unique looks with this one! I do have this shade but really didn’t know what 2 do with it. Thank you for doing this and 4 being so creative! I have not forgot about u Z I’ve been hard at work with that project I told u about! Love ya!
No worries, G! Successful people are busy people! Haha!
Glad you liked the post! It helped me too – I’ve had ATG for forever and a day now and hardly used it before this post! Love ya back!
I love All That Glitters. I put off buying it fearing it would be too orange but I’ve had it for 3 or 4 years and just love it to bits. I’ve paired it with Mulch but never with Twinks so I’m going to give that look a try, for sure!
You’ll love it with Twinks!
Zabrena, any chance you might do a “Spotlight on Twinks” one of these days? (I’ve already burdened you with Tempting but Twinks might be another fun one to see).
Hey you! Yep! I’m hoping to get through the permanent collection by the end of 2012!
All that glitters is a great color and you can wear it with just about anything. I discovered it years ago when I went in to the MAC counter and asked for a shadow to go with a Christmas outfit. I knew I would be wearing red lipstick. All That Glitters was the one recommended. I’m so glad. I have dark brown eyes and love earth tones.
This is on my list for my next set of purchases! Do you have a good dupe for Twinks, especially in look #1?
Or is Twinks a one-of-a-kind color?
Thank you Z!
Hi Lisa!
Hope that helps!
Actually you could try Mulch in its place. Twinks is unique because it’s brown, red and purple in one, but Mulch has those same qualities.
all that glitters also works really well with on the lid with satin taupe in the crease
oops, I meant all that glitters looks really well on the lid satin taupe in the crease.
LOL! I love them both, actually! Thanks for adding those!
Look #1 — very sophisticated look. Great combo.

Hi Gargi,
Thanks for taking the time to ask.
Due to the amount of time needed for these types of requests, the work I put into customizing them, and the number I receive on a daily basis, I no longer am able to offer advice like this for free.
If you’d like a personal consultation, you’re more than welcome to book one on the ‘Consultation Services’ page of the site.
My apologies, I hope you can understand.
I wore all that glitter along with cork, embark and vanilla and got soooo many compliments! This color is so beautiful in many combos as you’ve shown. You have me more ideas to try on myself as we have similar coloring. Thanks Z!
You’re most welcome, Denise!
I’m so happy you’re enjoying them, and getting compliments from others! YEAH!!
