Waking Dawn is described as a "light medium gold [with a Veluxe Pearl finish]." It's a bright, sunshine yellow with a frosted sheen and slight orange-y undertones. It had great pigmentation with a smooth, dense consistency that blended out easily without losing its intensity. On me, it started to fade after eight and a half hours of wear.
