I looove taupe eyeshadow. I haven’t tried those two Inglot ones yet.
Wait, no. I may have 349. I can’t remember. Damn number system lol
Haha!
Me too! 🙂 Taupe is lovely.
I love the look of #349! Looks like THE crease color I have been on a hunt for! 🙂 I really like Bobbi Brown matte eye shadow in Taupe as well.. but its very expensive so dupes are welcome! 🙂
#349 is an amazing shade 😀
I listed Inglot 349 in the earlier “5 Shades of Warm Taupe” listing but I guess it’s cool so I’ll have to re-root for it here, along with Inglot 434, which I got earlier this month and just love. I’m thinking that perhaps TheBalm Insane Jane and Stila Cloud both belong here too, as does MAC Sweet Satisfaction and maybe even Dalliance. I have Tough as Taupe but don’t use it often as I find it just “too” matte, if that makes any sense. I also really like UD Pistol and Kat Von D Delaney (from the Monarch palette).
The texture is so nice on those Inglot shades! Very smooth.
Lovely picks 🙂
my fav are :
classic shade … mac satin taupe
shades from Dior Earth Reflection palette n
one shade from Guerlain Turandot palette 🙂
I need to check the Inglot one if I have or not 🙂
pls do something like this with olive shades 🙂
I hope you have the Inglot one 😀
I really need to get my mitts on Tough as Taupe. It’s readily available here, but somehow I’ve never managed to take the plunge! The Giorgio Armani one looks really cool as well 🙂
You must try it 😉
I think I might need the Inglot #434 and the Dior.
The Inglot shade is amazing!
Love me some taupe! I really like MUG’s prom night as well as the Balm overshadow in “if you’re rich, I’m single”
Prom Night is such a pretty shade!
I love Tough as Taupe! It actually makes a nice neutral eyeshadow base on me. I’d love to add the Armani one to my collection though. The color is so pretty!
I love it as a base, too! 🙂
Love the color Taupe! Have the Maybelline Tough as Taupe, but somehow it does not look right on me, I think I need to play with it more. Maybe it’s because I generally use powder shadows and I may not be applying this with the right tools to make it look better?
I like Tough as Taupe mostly as a base!
Chanel Hasard from Fall 2013, Bobbi Brown Slate, Mac Copperplate.. these are a few of my favourite taupes (I can hear Julie Andrews in my head..) argh.
Copperplate!!
Ditto what Christine said (though to me, Copperplate and Coquette both seem darker than taupe, which is why I didn’t mention Satin Taupe either; I think I’ve got me a few too many taupes but it never stops me getting another!)
haha me either! anything Taupe’ish and I’m there. I can’t resist.
These are gorgeous! I also love UD Mushroom and Pistol.
Mushroom is great!
COOL TONED TAUPES!!!! I do it all for the taupe. :3 I don’t own any but the Maybelline one, which is unfortunately the shade from their line that dries out the fastest. (Shame cause it’s the best base out of the bunch!) Some of my favorites that I do love are Chanel Fauve, Japonesque Eyeshadow #1, Urban Decay Bust, Mary Kay Metallic Taupe (cream), WnW Silent Treatment (lid shade), and Maybelline Silken Taupe.
I love Urban Decay Bust 🙂
I so wish to grab maybelline tough as taupe. It is not available here in India. 🙁 It is such a gorgeous shade and highly affordable too.
Awww 🙁
The Dior one is my favourite out of these. Sparkle! 🙂
Definitely a go-to for me!
I love Maybelline Tough as Taupe!
<3
Me too! Such a great base color, too!
