Really Love this color as a base or highlighter for brow bone. Little of this for me goes a long way. It works very well with other colors. Definitely a must have for me with my other MAC shadows....

I really love this color. It is very pigmented. I usually wear this layered with coppering or a gold color. It is great as a base color, but I would not wear it alone.

I hate this shadow...it looks like NOTHING on me. I've been told to use it as a highlight...that looks awful, too. I honestly can't believe all the good reviews saying how this is just as...

The worst MAC shadow I have ever purchased (and I have quite a few). It was a let down because it appeared to have a color reminiscent of MAC's Expensive Pink, with a lighter application....

As other reviews mentioned Gleam is very pretty color in the pan. However, it doesn't go as smooth on the eye lids as I would like it too .You have to really pile it on to see any color but by...

This color works well on me (brunette with light-med skin and green eyes), but I do not think it would be flattering on every skin tone. I think on some people it could pull out the pink "I'm...

I'm surprised at the low score this MAC shadow received. Gleam was recommended to me by a MAC on-line specialist for my coloring (blonde/hazel/NW15). This shade has become an everyday staple of...

This is one of my HG eye shadows. This is one of MAC's lustre formula eye shadows which means it has pieces of glitter in it (the glitter is not flashy though, very subtle). The color is a goldish...

I purchased Gleam back in 2005. It caught my eye just sitting there on the rack, and looked great when I swiped it on my hand. The peachy pink lustre is very complimentary to my NW15 skin, and the...

Gleam appears to be a gorgeous shimmery neutral in the pan but turns into a glittery, SLIGHTLY pigmented mess when applied on my eyelids. I'll say right off of the bat that I'm not a huge Lustre...

I bought this eyeshadow to layer over Rubenesque paint pot... the MA told me that it would be better to wear Gleam over something because its more of a texture than high color payoff. I took this...

I had a mac makeover in my local store and the MA suggested gleam teamed with Green smoke for my green eyes. I must admit when used together it makes my eyes *pop.* She put this colour all over,...

I bought this color to go with Satin taupe, and I love it. It has a nice shimmer to it. The only downfall is that I have to apply a little more than usual for it to show up, but it's an overall...

This is one of my faves! I love the peach undertones and the shimmer. I use this when I want to feel extra girly. The only annoying thing for me about it is that it doesn't show up very well if I...

Lustre shade. Need I say more? If you have used the MAC lustres before, you know that a lot of them don't have very good color payoff (except aquadisiac and a couple of others). They also are kinda...
