Perfect staple base color. If you don't yet have one, pick one up on your next haul, you'll wonder how you ever got along without this beautiful peachy/pink light color!!

Orb is a pale peach in MAC's Satin finish (a non-frost sheen). See my profile for a pic. It looks great with my coloring, so redheads take note. However, it seems to magnify the crepiness on my eyelids. I wear it over another shadow that provides a smoother base to build on. Love the color, hate the extra work. I will not purchase again and probably will steer clear of the other Satin shadows if they're the same way.

Love this as a base or alone with a dark eyeliner. Great alternative to my HG Shroom. Wish I hadn't waited so long to try it. Its very versatile.

This color is so lovely! It's perfect for a matte base color. I use it with girlie and sable in my crease, and I get compliments on my eyeshadow all the time! It has wonderful texture, which is almost creamy, but it's not. Very pretty color, natural and lovely :)

Orb may not be a terribly exciting shade but the texture is WONDERFUL, its the most creamy blendable powder eyeshadow I have ever used. Great for a low key natural look or as a base shade.

This eyeshadow color is simply average. I purchased it to go with my black liquid liner. I know that clean look that everyone is talking about, and thats what I thought this would give me..however, I find that it kinda matches my skin tone so there's really no point putting it on. The only reason why I continue to use it is if I mess up w/ my other shadows when doing a smoky eye, I use this to blend out the mistake more evenly. I won't repurchase this color, but will try another MAC shade (All my eyeshadows are from MAC..they aren't expensive and are of good quality).

Pretty, neutral shade that "cleans up" and brightens my eye area. I wear it alone; I can't seem to master eyeshadow colors. One of the few products I have repurchased.

I bought this after seeing a MA applying it onto a customer. She used Orb on the lids, Cranberry for the crease and Sketch in the outer V. It was gorgeous so I just had to have it since I already have Cranberry and Sketch! I do love this color! I have yellow undertones so on me it looks like a pale beige w/the slightest hint of peach.

I got this as part of my wedding make-up 3 years ago. I wanted something conservative that would not look flashy in photos. This is a great, very muted base shadow that evens out your lids. I stopped wearing it a while ago but just brought it back out today. I put it all over my eyelid with brown eyeliner. It hardly shows up but like I said, it evens out your lids and gives them a clean look. Not too exciting so I don't know if I would repurchase. Wonder if there is a similar shadow for half the price?
