Gleam

Gleam is described as a "barely pinked gold [with a Lustre finish]." It's a light-medium, peachy-pink with a gold, frosted finish. It had good color payoff (but it's actually too pigmented for this type of finish, which is usually sheerer) with a slightly looser, more sparkly consistency where some of the sparkle fell out during application and didn't bind with the underlying color. This shade lasted for eight hours before fading, but I had some fall out over time. This shade is part of the permanent range. NARS Goddess (P, $28.00) is less shimmery (95% similar).
