Orange #3

Orange #3 is a bold, bright, medium-dark orange-coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque coverage, so it wasn't what I would call buildable, as it is hard to get very sheer or light color without the barest tap of the brush in the pan (which is the same technique you'd use with any very pigmented blush). The texture wasn't too soft or too firm, so it was easier to work with and sat well on the skin. This shade started to fade after eight and a half hours of wear.
