patina is amazing! i saw it years ago in a makeup look on some celeb in a magazine and had to get it. most of the time i wear patina alone with a bronze/brown liner (like the pearlglide spare change from the previous season) or teddy. i also pair it with other MAC browns, most of which it looks great with. i am an NC15, so this color stands out on my “dollface”. my latest thing is using a lovely neautral like this and adding a bright pop of color on the inner corners of the eyes (like parrot, a le blue from about a year or so ago or a bright pink, i can’t think of the name it came out as a limited color with an organe, lime green, yellow, etc). you can add a little more drama with a mid-tone grey liner like technakohl in greyprint. i feel you can wear a look like this everyday because the bright flash of color is only really noticable when you blink. so flirty.

HI Karen,

I’ve own PATINA and SATIN TAUPE for years and years…. I cant live without my PATINA. During the daytime, Patina is pretty enough to wear alone for a natural look. But at night, Patina goes with perfect underneath almost any color.

Its about time Patina got some love!!!

Hi Karen,

I have a few MAC colors like that, too. It seems like everyone loves Satin Taupe — I just can’t get it to look right on me.

What other MAC colors do you love?

Hi Karen,

I held on to Patina for awhile I wanted it to work and it just didnt and I am NC 45. So i gave it to my neice who is a tad lighter and it looks good on her. I really tried to like it but Patina just didn’t like me.
