So without further ado, here are my favourite taupes, the ones I use again and again (and again)!
From L-R:
- Urban Decay Sidecar - lovely shimmery taupe with slight red undertones and some gold glitter flecks.
- CoverGirl Tapestry Taupe - awesome drugstore taupe, a little less pigmented but over a base it shows up nicely and has a gorgeous subtle sheen.
- NYX Iced Mocha - a loose pearl pigment, extremely shimmery and dramatic! Blends out like a dream though.
- Sephora 5-in-1 Color Play Palette, shades 2, 12 and 27 - 2 is a great dark smoky taupe, awesome in the crease or for one of my favourite evening looks, the taupe smoky eye! 12 is a slightly lighter but still mid-toned taupe, I use this one a lot in the crease for day looks to add depth. 27 is a slightly warmer taupe that has almost rose-gold tones in it, very pretty!
I don't have any of the colors you showed, but I do use this beautiful Maybelline taupe eye shadow almost every day.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shades.. I don't own any of those.. Sidecar looks stunning..
ReplyDeleteI love MAC's Satin Taupe and another great taupe is Bobbi Brown eyeshadow in taupe.. It's matte and looks SO boring but when I apply it to the crease, it honestly transforms my eyes in a very natural way.. Hard to explain but I did do a post on it if you're interested..
My favorite taupe is currently Too Faced Sitcome Siren x
ReplyDelete@ Sandra - do you know what the colour is called? I'll keep an eye out for it!
ReplyDelete@ Delyteful Speaks - Satin Taupe is one of those I've been meaning to try forever, I always hear about it!! And I sure need some matte taupes in my life!
@ G A B Y - I love Too Faced stuff! Don't own any yet but my eye has been on their palettes, I'll have to check that out!
Oooh I love them all, such gorgeous shades. Sidecar is one of my favourites too, except on me it comes out more gold than taupe hence I didn't put it in my taupe list. Great favourites, and thanks for the heads up about this post!
