Hi Mona,
Thanks! I know, Innuendo is one of my favorite colors for simple daytime looks…too bad it is LE/DC. It’s just a basic light taupe, nothing fancy, but perfect!!

Remotely Gray (N collection) is kind of like a matte version of Innuendo, but a bit darker and warmer.

I think some people are saying that the new Illegal Cargo is similar, but on me Illegal Cargo is waaay more lavendar.

Clue is sort of similar but more cool/silvery than Innuendo.

and also you can mix a pretty good dupe from the 3 darkest colors in the Loreal Showstopping Taupes quad (also LE/DC) 🙁

There may be other dupes in MAC’s perm line but I don’t know, personally.

MAC, please make Innuendo perm! 😀
