This is a great medium bronzey gloss that reminds me of L'Oreal's Shine Delice "Gingerbread" (one of my favorite shades). It looks "natural but better" when worn alone or gives you a whole new look over your favorite nude/brown lipsticks. I have auburn hair with pale, pale skin, dark lips (for my skin color) and green hazel eyes -- I would definitely recommend "Precious Metal" for anyone with coppery or red hair or highlights. This gloss wears about as well as any other gloss but does not dry out or turn sticky. "Precious Metal" is a great color for natural, summery lips.
