This is exactly the same colour as my little pot of concealer in NW20. I use it both as eyeshadow and as concealer, it matches the skin around my eyes well, so as such it doesnt really show but...

I bought this at my pre-wedding makeover from MAC. The lady recommended Orb for all -over lid shawdow. I pointed out that I wanted shroom since I already have Vanilla and Llama and she told me not...

Hmm...I'm a little torn on Orb. It's a bit too light for me, and the finish is more akin to a Matte e/s rather than Satin (I'm NC30-35 Asian). I was expecting it to be a more peachy version of...

I'm very pale so I was hoping this would work as an all over wash. But it made me look even paler, I need a little more color and steep does just that. But you can't go wrong with MAC e/s, I have a...

This may not be the most standout eyeshadow, but it's my favorite base shade. It's just a tiny bit lighter than my skintone and has just the smallest bit of shimmer to brighten up the eye area....

One of the more boring MAC eyeshadows out there in my opinion. A matte yogurt beige shade that is somewhat useful for blending down shades or as a barely noticeable highlighter. Is it me or do...

I think this color is totally underrated. Yes, it's just a plain old peachy beige but when used as a wash with a deeper/darker color used in the crease, it makes the perfect eye to balance out a...

I think Orb is my first huge MAC disappointment. It's a LIGHT pink beige, almost a cream color, and the texture is dry and unimpressive. Definitely could find much better at a drugstore.

This color is pretty much the same color as my skin (NW20), so I use it for 2 things: as an e/s base, or as a concealor. It works pretty well for both. I probably wouldn't repurchase it, though,...

This is a new fave of mine at any time of the week. During the work week, it looks great as part of a conservative office eye. And at any time, it serves as a perfect base. The color is a...

I like Vanilla as a base a little bit better. Vanilla covers better and stays on longer - you need to layer Orb a lot in order to get the coverage you need. I suggest using MAC Paint in Bare...

Great peachy-pink color! I usually use it as a brow highlight, but it also works as an overall wash for a more simplified look.

I bought this to use as a base and blender and am less-than-impressed. Very, very sheer--I could EASILY find a bettter base/blender at the drugstore.

Orb is a matte, very very light beigey-peachy-pink (but mostly beige). This is hands-down my FAVE e/s to wear as a base underneath my e/s, and the texture is great, and goes on my somewhat dry...

This eyeshadow is my favorite, it is the perfect peachy color, and you can wear it with so many other shadows.

This is one of my HG e/s. I use it pretty much daily as a base color. It's a warm & soft peachy-pinky base that isn't too white (use Vanilla for that). The color lasts very well and is...

I love this e/s. I use this as a base for other shadows or just as a wash. Totally brightens my eye area.

Absolute HG for me, and has been for over eight years. The perfect base color for my lids, no matter what I do to them afterwards. I am NW25, and I have bought this over and over and over. EDIT:...
