are you familiar with MAC melon pigment? the two are very similar, but gleam is a little pinker - it's a very pretty golden pinkish peach. also check out motif, which is a really cool peach/pink duochrome e/s - SO versatile! Jest is another great peach too. hths!

Honestly, I much prefer the Melon pigment, especially for what you are looking for. It is peachier and, in my opinion, just prettier than Gleam. Gleam tends to be gritty and overly glittery, not to mention more red-toned (I'm NC35-40 with neutral undertones).

I have been wearing this everday with NYLON & OMEGA. I use NYLON as a highlighter, OMEGA in the crease, and GLEAM on the lid. It is a really nice trio. I saw it under the Wedding section on MAC online.

It is terrific for a "Spring" daytime look.

something is wrong with mine. It was alright for a while, but as time passed the surface became really really bumpy and feels so gritty. I first thought it was because of the glitter, but it's not. Maybe I got a bad one? :confused: I'm not sure, but I don't like it. I think I should take it back.... :( It's a really pretty color other than that, just make sure you don't get a bad one! Good luck :)

mine is like that too actually. are these lustres? i don't remember what formulation gleam is, but it's known for having kind of a crappy texture. :(
