Orb is a matte light pinky flesh colour very similar to the one in Naked Basics. I mainly use it all over rhe lid when in the mood for a classic cat eye and works perfectly for that. It's a bit less c...Read more

This is a great, subtle highlight and/or lid color. For references, I’m between an NC35-NC41 and this plus a crease color is my everyday neutral shadow look. Beautiful with wedge or cork in the crea...Read more

This shade is a great base colour for 'natural' look eye makeup. It isn't shimmery, but gives an even cream-coloured coverage on pale skins. I agree with some reviewers that it can be a little chalky,...Read more

I really like Orb. I have a few MAC highlighters, but I find myself reaching for Orb quite often right now. Much more than Vanilla which surprised me. I got the pro pallet refill so the price was righ...Read more

This is a peachy ivory hue that is useful for base and highlight. It subtly enhances blue eyes but looks nice against all skin tones and eye colors. I used up several pans of this over the years. I...Read more

For reference, I'm pretty pale. This was not very pigmented or creamy. It was dry, applied sheerly so it really had to be built up, and the color just looked like I had put my face powder on my lids. ...Read more

I use it every day. Just brightens up the eye and makes me look fresher. Stays all day too.

This color has a great undertone that helps neutralize the red/purple that some people may have on their eyelids. Since eye primers tend to sting my sensitive skin, thus needing to be avoided, I rely ...Read more

This is one of my oldest M•A•C shadows, and I used to use it often as an all over color that made all my other colors more blendable. Unfortunately, I've since found that other similar shadows (like ...Read more

Use this or brule under my eyeshadow almost every day. This is peachier than brule for more warmer looks. Love it!

Orb is a matte, very light beigey-vanilla color. This is my favorite to wear as a base underneath my eye shadows. Goes on very easy and smooth. Perfect for smokey eyes. I also use this to hi-light und...Read more

MAC Orb is the little eyeshadow that could for me. It looks like the most boring thing in the pan, in the same vein of Brule or Blanc Type etc, but it transforms completely on the face. Initially wh...Read more

Whilst this shadow doesn't show up on me, it's a handy one to have on hand as I use it to tone down other shadows if I've been heavy handed (and can't be bothered to start again!) or to soften any har...Read more

This is just an OK color. It doesn't really come off as a satin IMO. It's much more matte. It barely shows up on me, it's pretty much a match for my NC15 skin. I thought this shadow looked familiar an...Read more

I had to return it because it went quite yellow on me. I'm extremely cool toned & this just wasn't a good pick, but the quality of the product itself is good & it doesn't make the eye skin look like ...Read more

I bought this on a whim and it has become one of my (surprise) HG products. It's hard to describe its color - it's both pink and beige at the same time, and it's so light that it leans white-ish. It's...Read more

Orb is a really great base "wash" for other eyeshadows. It's not glaring white and not boring beige either. Pale, rosy cream. Hard to describe, actually. If you like Orb but want more frost, try G...Read more

I've used this as a base for years and I don't plan on looking elsewhere. It looks nothing like the swatch on MAC's site-- it's actually a paled-out peach with a touch of pink that matches my light, ...Read more
