Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!
Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).
We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!
We try to approve comments within 24 hours (and reply to them within 72 hours) but can sometimes get behind and appreciate your patience! 🙂 If you have general feedback, product review requests, off-topic questions, or need technical support, please contact us directly. Thank you for your patience!

Favorite matte taupe eyeshadow?
-Sydney Grace Frappe (Light) from the Coffee Talk palette
Favorite cool-toned taupe eyeshadow?

Favorite warm-toned taupe eyeshadow?
– SG x Temptalia Phosphenes from the palette Radiant Reflection
– Terra Moons Palladium
– SG Tiara
– Fyrinnae Reindeer Fur
I was so torn on the Coffee Talk light vs dark – Frappe is the light tone I miss the most!! I just did a look with Coffee Talk (deep) and Tiara the other day 🙂
I was too! It seems hard to go wrong with either!
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Favorite matte taupe eyeshadow? Probably Inglot 349 Matte, though there are several others (MAC Omega, Anastasia Twig and Slate and many more) that I also love
Favorite cool-toned taupe eyeshadow? I’m not very good at differentiating between warm and cool, especially when it comes to taupe shades. Maybe that same Inglot 349 or Smashbox Hang from the Minimalist palette??? Or Anastasia’s Cyborg (if that’s considered Taupe). There must be others but I can’t think of them just now!
Favorite warm-toned taupe eyeshadow? Again, I struggle to tell the difference between warm and cool most of the time with taupe shadows. Maybe Dior New Look #1???
Your skin tone/coloring:light, MAC NC 20
Favorite matte taupe eyeshadow? MAC Charcoal Brown,
Favorite cool-toned taupe eyeshadow? Sydney Grace Troops, MAC Vex
Favorite warm-toned taupe eyeshadow? NARS Stud,
MAC Prissy Princess, Dior Cool Neutral, HUDA Jaguar and Viseart Cashmere Theory are some of my favorite taupe based palettes!
Thanks for the reminder to use NARS Stud. It’s such a beautiful shadow but I’ve not used it in ages and should use it more often. Seeing everyone’s answers reminds me of just how many (perhaps too many….NAH!) taupe shadows I own.
Can never have too many taupe shades😉
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)
Favorite matte taupe eyeshadow? UD Tease, MAC Kid, SG x Mel Thompson Tiny Marvels has several khaki toned taupes that I LOVE (Death Moth, Walkin’ Stick, Spyder), Huda Precious (from Rose Quartz) and also the ones in Huda Panther.
Favorite cool-toned taupe eyeshadow? SG x Temptalia Phosphenes and Heart-Dog, UD Verve and Huda (from Rose Quartz) Energized and Abundance.
Favorite warm-toned taupe eyeshadow? MAC Superwatt, UD YDK, MAC Satin Taupe, and the two from Charlotte Tilbury Bejeweled Palette in the Seduce Glow trio because they’re chocolatey taupes.
I’m likely forgetting a few, but I do love chocolate-tinged, purplish or pale silvery taupes with my eye color. I love PML Divine Mink, but don’t know whether I would call it warm or cool? Oh, and for my favorite palette of all kinds of taupes: Natasha Denona Glam!
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Favorite matte taupe eyeshadow? Nope – I don’t have one
Favorite cool-toned taupe eyeshadow? Mushroom by UD, All Eyes on Me by City Color
Favorite warm-toned taupe eyeshadow? Satin Taupe by MAC, Tiana by SG,
Plus all the beautiful taupe shades in ND’s Glam and Naked 2.
Yessss All Eyes on Me is a beautiful color!
Your skin tone/colouring: above
Favorite matte taupe eyeshadow? Unearthed by Lethal Cosmetics (it’s just so cool)
Favorite cool-toned taupe eyeshadow? Fallen Empire by Sydney Grace
Favorite warm-toned taupe eyeshadow? All Eyes on Me by City Color (just reminded of this one and yes it’s so great!)
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertones, dark brown hair and eyes
Favorite matte taupe eyeshadow? MAC Omega (since I had to put Quarry in the cool category)
Favorite cool-toned taupe eyeshadow? MAC Quarry (which surprisingly shows quite dark on me, but I don’t mind at all)
Favorite warm-toned taupe eyeshadow? The Holly Grail of the Holly Grails… MAC Satin Taupe (if I was forced to only own one eyeshadow, it would be this one)
