Very, very pretty peachy orange with light sheen when applied. For those of you trying to nab this discontinued color the recently released Straw Harvest is almost identical, so much so that I could apply one to each eye and no one would notice the difference, it is seriously that close, i'd honestly say an exact dupe but re-named.

I was lucky to pick this up at a CCO. Its a gorgeous, orange sherbert color, and the color reminds me of "Orangedescence" lipglass. The finish is soft, and the color applies beautifully. Its nothing at all like "Orange" eyeshadow. This is a gorgeous, soft color and could go with any skin color. I love this.

I love this because it's similar to d'bohemian (when applied dry). IMO if you have one you don't need the other. But since both are DC I would stock up on both if I came across them.

This is a very pretty light orange with a sheen. It's VERY VERY similar to Say Yeah, but to me Say Yeah has more pink in it. You probably don't need both of them, but since I have both and love them both :D I'm keeping both, lol!! I like Orange Tangent on days when I want a bit more of an orange effect, and Say Yeah when I want more of a peachy pink color. My favorite of the two right now is this one, Orange Tangent. I would repurchase and recommend. It's LE from the C-Squeeze collection by the way.

I love this shade! Its one of my favorite MAC eyeshadows. The orange color makes my blue eyes "pop", but it isnt too bright either. Its got great lasting power and texture like all the other MAC Frost eyeshadows.

i love oranges, but find many of them really harsh on my asian NC40 skin. orange tangent is part of MACs C-Squeeze collection (LE... like all of their best stuff!) and in the pan, it looks like a light orange color. on my eyelids, however, it transforms into a soft, shimmery peachy-orange that can be applied more heavily for an intense look, and softly as a wash for a natural, glowy eye. really subtle but pretty. so far ive worn this with bronze and cranberry, and all three colors blend together seamlessly for a really summery look. i will also pair this color with greens, some light violets, and simply wear it by itself for a fun neutral eye. brown-eyed girls, run out and buy this e/s. its fabulous!

I am not a fan of orange but MAC manages to make it work. Part of the C Squeeze collection released July 2005. This is limited edition so its only available in a flip top black pot and retails for $13. Orange Tangent is the lighter of the two orange shades with Sunplosion being darker. Orange Tangent is a shimmery light peach. Makes a great lid/allover shade. Really opens up the eye area. Definately on the warm side and works well with my brown eyes and NC 30 complexion. I am a big fan of this with Sunplosion in the crease. I would repurchase.

First a little about me: PPP/blonde and brown hair with green eyes.

I love this color!! This is what I wanted Motif to look like. Since this is a frost texture it goes on great with superb coverage. I think that the Veluxe pearls are too sheer. This is not. Orange tanget is a bright pale tangerine color. This is definitely one of my new favorites. It is differnt from Sweeten up, Paradisco, Rule, and Motif (I have them all). I would highly recommend this to anyone with green eyes. Today I wore it as a wash on my lid with Sunplosion in the crease and a tab of Mulch in the outer corner with Mulch wet to line. Gorgerous!

I was really excited for the release of the C-sqeeze shadows, especially Orange Tangent. I was hoping this would be a nice light orange shadow to use with some of my favorite orange shadows. It turned out to be far too light for my tastes. It is an extremely light orange color with a bit a shimmer. I have found that it is great to use as a highlight for the cheekbones. I like to use it with Rimmel's apricot blush. It is a nice color but I was very dissapointed with it.

This gets a big plus from me. I had been looking for a nice orange to fill out my color palette and this is it. Unlike other reviewers, this shadow does not appear golden or peach on me. It is a true light orange. Not harsh or garish, but intense as well. Very pretty for the summer.

I found this to be too much like my Melon pigment. It's a pretty colour, but if you have Melon pigment, you don't need it IMO.

Really pretty velux pearl! Great texture and just the right texture. Looks great on my tanned summer skin.

(From C-Squeeze) This looks like a vibrant orange in the pan but goes on a pale golden peach with a bit of shimmer. I use it as a wash over the entire lid and to highlight the browbone, and I think bronze, blue, or warm green would look great with it. Because it doesn't show up orange I think it would be suitable for most skintones.

I ♥ orange. Orange Tangent is a beautiful, light golden-orange color. It's perfect as a highlight or browbone color with other oranges (especially with Sunsplosion, the other C-Squeeze eye shadow.) Very soft texture like all veluxe pearls. Wheeeeeee! :D

C-Squeeze; Limited Edition. Shade description: Slightly tanned orange with gold pearl (Frost)
This shadow actually reminds me of melon pigment - but more frosty. Gorgeous shade that works well all over as a colour wash, or even as a highlight.

Oh this is such a pretty pale golden peachy colour on me. I love it! I would use it all over the lid just to make my eyes look wide awake (i'm a ggg) or in the inner half of the eyes, or even, lightly, on the brow bone. i'm extremely happy with it.
