Top of the Taupes!

If i could only wear one eyeshadow for the rest of my life it would have to be Taupe. I love the fact that it isn't a brown it isn't a grey but a mysterious combination which seems to suit so many different looks and so of course i am always searching for the perfect Taupe.
Here's some of my favourites that i have come across.


NYX Slate & GOSH No14 Grey/Brown

 MAC Satin Taupe & Stila Kalahoo

 Everyday Minerals In the garden & Barry M 51


A recent find is the No7 Stay perfect eyeliner in Chainmail which was love at first swatch. Its a beautiful taupe which is smudge proof, waterproof and once its on it literally doesn't move.


Anyone else having a Love affair with Taupe?

    I love taupe as well :) My favourite is probably Satin Taupe as well as MAC's paint pot in Vintage Selection from the Champale collection, I find the 2 go well together :) I love the look of that NYX eyeshadow, will have to note it down!

    I'm going to have to see if our Target carries that Boots liner! Yes, taupe seems to go with almost everything.

    Cute colours, if I could only wear one eyeshadow shade it would probably either be Taupe or Brown.

    For a quick taupe eye i like Heather Mauve Shimmer Wash Shadow by Bobbi Brown. It'a quite sheer (but buildable) and has a slight shimmer so you can't tell if it's a bit messy!! My kinda shadow for early mornings!

    I loave taupe too. I love all you have above and Heather Mauve by Bobbie Brown and Chanel Saphari. Great taupes. And of course the famous Shu Uemura ME silver 945 which is really a taupe but that's very hard to find now.

    I am totally in love with taupe eyeshadows! I agree with you, if I could only wear one color of eyeshadow for the rest of my life, taupe would be it!
    I have a ridiculous amount of them, but some of my favorites are Guerlain L'Instant D'Un Soupir, Bare Minerals Queen Tiffany, and NARS Bali! You should check them out! =)
