hi all, i am looking for an e/s shade that is close to #3 swatched in this pic (it is swatched dry over primer first and then foiled):

IRL it is a little lighter than the pic shows. does anyone have Loaded, and is it similar to this? or do you know of another e/s that is closer to it?
thanks!

Loaded resembles the second swatch from the right more than the third, rather close, but no cigar.
Loaded when swatched dry on my skin without any primer looks slightly more intense and coppery-pink than that on yours

(but that might be my skintone interfering with the colour to intensify it)

thanks aud, so Loaded is close to the #3 Dry swatch? (i labeled them because it was too confusing without). close but more intense and more coppery-pink?

Here's a swatch on my arm
closer to #3 dry, but not an identical match.

(it is slightly pinker than captured on photo, especially when it hits the sun full on - this photo was taken in daylight with a weak-ish sun)

Got Loaded today, it looks almost like #3. More coppery-coppery-pink than coppery-pink... don't know how to explain better. Pink undertone is very-very subtle here. Loaded dry looks on me like Loaded swatched lightly on Aud's swatch. You can see my ratio in the sign. hih
Current ratio, Sept. 13: 1 Ebony : 1 Buttery Gold : 15 All Purpose : 5 Ivory : 2 Yellow : 1 Liberty : 1 Beach Bunny
The mix is pale and does't look yellow
