Gleam never showed up on my nc40 skin. I even paird it up w/ other shadows, and did nothing for me. I use it sometimes as a highlighter but thats about it.

This is a peachy pink color that shows up on me as somewhat neutral (my skin is NC37 tan), it was recommended to me by my local MAC artist when I saw it on her. At first I thought I would use it...

I love this colour. It's a bit hard to describe, I thought it was gonna look more pink, but it shows up like golden peach actually. I like mixing it with fuchsia and bronze shades and it looks...

This is my basic, everyday eyeshadow. I really do love it, but it's not that noticeable. I'm not sure if I would buy again, seeing as I'm eager to try out other MAC eyeshadows. I own three, and I'm...

This e/s is sort of similar to Melon Pigment, but there's no pink in Melon. Gleam is perfect to wear with peachy (Paradisco, Expensive Pink) or bronzey (UD Baked, Mythology, Woodwinked) e/s. The...

This color has the same consistency as the gold color, Retrospekt and for some reason, the top of the shadow hardens to the point I have to scrape the top layer off. I'm a PPP so Gleam really...

No, the colour doesn't show up as intensely as I'd like, and yes, the little shimmery flakes chunk off under my eye sometimes...but I'm really loving this colour with phloof and with paradisco for...

I LOVE THE COLOR, A PINKISH PEACHY GOLDEN COLOR. IT DOES GO ON VERY SHEER AND IS CHUNKY. IT FLAKES ONTO YOUR FACE AND EYELASHES, BUT I APPLY IT WITH MY FINGER RATHER THAN A BRUSH WHICH HELPS THE...

Gleam is a pretty pinkish peachy gold with a shimmer to it. When applied dry it's barely there making it perfect for every day wear or work. I love it paired with Sushi Flower for a light, girly...

Gleam is a shimmery shadow, which looks slightly orange to me in the pan. However, it goes on a lovely pink in the 'nude' family, with a shimmer. Very nice!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous in the pot, but the flecks of glitter sat chunkily on my eyelids, fell off everywhere.

Such a pretty shade in the pan, but wow, is it intense on me! It's the first and only time in the 15 years I've been with my husband that he looked at me, screwed up his face and said, "What the...

I don't see why some people are complaining. Mac describes this shade as "barely pinked gold." The main word here is "BARELY." Those who complain about lack of pigment should know that it was...

I first tried it on bare lids and it was a subtle peachy wash of color. I found the tiny sparkles to fall under my lid. When I apply it over a base, the color really shows true to the pot. ...

My fustrations with MAC eyeshadow continue. Gleam is a great color, but I have a really hard time making it show up. It's a pinky peachy gold with a great, smooth texture. Too bad I have to put on...

I find this a pretty spring color. For me, the color stays nicely, but I always wear a base. It certainly is more intense wet. I wear it with Naked Lunch and Paradisco. UPDATE: I am actually going...

I use this colour with stencil and it looks really great. I like it a lot, the best way to apply it is with a sponge brush! When you use a normal e/s brush it doesn't stay on your eyelid.
