TKB Trading’s Monochrome Orange

Part of TKB Trading's "monochrome" mattes. They are all loose powder, and since they're an unblended colorant they're a bit chalky. I find that I get the results that I want when I apply it wet, and mist with setting spray after I've got the color in place. When I've needed to do a lot of blending with this color, I'll apply and set, then apply the "blending" ridge or stripe that I will physically blend into whatever color is directly next to it.

Even though this is a deep color, it doesn't have strong brown tones or a visual "heathering" that I often see with autumnal shades. This shade is very clear. Because of that, and because it is so pigmented, it makes a nice liner.
