I’m usually all about color, color, color when it comes to my makeup, nails, and wardrobe. You won’t find me in all black everyday like Angelina Jolie or sporting a fresh makeup free face like Jennifer Garner. I’m much more high maintenance than that. However, there are always exceptions to every rule, and lately, and I’ve been feeling the ultimate easy neutral…TAUPE.
My new favorite wintry, plush, and sophisticated taupe polish : Essie “Mink Muffs,” $8.50.
Taupe shadows I’m really into now. WITH FLASH.
Same taupe shadows WITHOUT FLASH.
Left : MAC “Satin Taupe,” $15.
This has a beautiful shimmer base to it without being too flashy. I find I use this shade a lot on my bridal clients who don’t want to look too overdone but want some interest to their eyes. It is the perfect balance of warm + cool eye shadow which makes it very wearable.
Right : Bobbi Brown “Slate,” $22.
Some might consider this to have an almost charcoal-like base to it’s brown side of taupe. This is a gorgeous matte shadow that I sometimes use as a brow filler as well! I’ve owned this color for years.
Wearing only MAC “Satin Taupe” on upper lid and on lower lash line accompanied by a black winged liner.
My newest winter bag purchase by Hobo, Gabor style in “Charcoal,” $288.
The close up of the leather with my flash shows how taupe it is, and the further away pick is with no flash. The description of this purse is described as “charcoal,” but I beg to differ. It is definitely more taupe-brown based than gray. Either way, this bag is going to go with everything and is a great big slouchy size to hold all my stuff required for a mom of 3! It’s got pockets for days which I live and die for.
Now all I need to complete my love of taupe are these stacked suede booties from Nasty Gal…
Shoe Cult Mischief Bootie, $110.
So as you can see, taupe is truly having a moment in my life and look. Are you totally into taupe too??
