This color, while beautiful, is a bit too orangey (more orange than peach). Did not work at all well with my very cool, pale skin. Perhaps the warm folks will have better luck with the color.

I still give this color a four star, because this shadow is on par with other LORAC eyeshadows. It just happens that this shadow is not as accommodating to the cooler folks than I expected.

This is perfect. Especially for me, I have been really obsessed with all things peach-colored lately. This is a flattering peachy gold shade that looks great as a wash all over the lid. Love it, would buy 100 more (especially at the price- I got it off Lorac's website on sale for 4.99). The consistency is awesome. The one (minor) downside: the packaging looks kind of cheap. The product is great, so who cares, but it's just so.. tiny and plastic-y. Whatever, I don't mind.

I have warm medium skin. This shows as a very shimmery peachy color. It is wonderful for when I do a more subtle smoky eye with browns. The coverage of this formula is excellent and it blends easily. I have only been able to use it with dry application, I wanted to try wet but the water beaded up and sat on the eyeshadow, leading me to believe that this is not a dry/wet shadow. All in all I like this color and it's my go to lid color for day.

Other reviewers have said that it's peachy in color and while I can see how it might appear to be that for some people, it's more orangey on my Neutral20-25 skin. Still, like all LORAC shadows, the quality is amazing- finely milled powder and great texture. I may end up giving it to someone who can appreciate it more.

I bought this as part of a set from LORAC's website and this is my favorite shade of the bunch. Soft, high quality and a beautiful, easy to wear color. Kind of a cross between MAC's Jest and Motif. Has more sheer/gold than Jest, but no purple/green undertones like Motif. I'm NW20 in MAC (fair and cool) and the color works well for me. Easy way to brighten up my face - perfect for work :)

This eyeshadow is so soft and beautiful, its like a dream. Its a shimmery extremely light light orange, more of a melon color and the texture is unbelievably soft, it looks great with browns, coppers, golds and certain types of green or by itself it looks marvelous, it has been sold out a couple of times at sephora, i'm lucky i got my hands on it.

I never thought I'd go for a peachy shade since I was afraid it would look orange on my pale skin. Surprisingly, this shade looks quite natural -- simply gives my dark brown eyes a bright boost. I was looking for something simple for work, and this works perfectly.

I bought this color based on the great reviews here and the fact that is was featured in a magazine recently and seemed to look nice on the model, who was fair skinned with blue eyes like me. It's normally not a shade I would go for--I'd say it's a warm orange/tangerine color with some pinkish shimmer and it looks very bright in the pot. I would have preferred more of a copper tone. I'm not into the warm orange-y look for my eyes and while it doesn't look as bad as I might imagine (thanks to some shimmer and a sheer enough finish), it doesn't necessarily blow me away either. I'm not sure if it is the fact that I have deep blue eyes and maybe that just doesn't work, or maybe it is my skin tone is wrong. Nonetheless, I like LORAC's shadow quality in general and while it's not cheap, a little goes a long way. I will probably find something to do with it, maybe as a base color or a highlighter of sorts for the summer.

Velvetly rich and highly pigmented, Mesmerize is an opaque pearl peach shimmer e/s that makes my blue/gray eyes pop. I like to use Mac's Embark e/s to line with, an earthy rust brown that complements and balances the peach frost shimmer of Mesmerize. It's also pretty worn with Lorac's Jade e/s in the crease. The name speaks for itself but all of Lorac shadows are mesmerizing!

This is one of my favorite colors. It's a peachy shimmer that instantly brightens up my eyes. It's dark enough to wear on it's own and on me it's not light enough to be a brow highlighting color. The texture is better than MAC's eyeshadows!!! It blends effortlessly. I just love this!

Received this from a lovely swapper, and it's so beautiful! A shimmery, peachy orange that resembles a toned-down MAC Paradisco in the pan, but on eyes is so natural and warming. Shimmery and wonderful for summer!

Lorac makes wonderful shadows that are very neglected here on MUA. The texture is smooth, blends easily with nice pigment. Lasts all day without creasing. Mesmerize is a lovely medium peach shade with golden undertones. Very pretty! Excellent quality shadows. Retails for $16 each for a small pot same size as MAC shadow.
