But because this is a dupe post, and not a full-out review post, I will now tell you what the beauteous metallic taupe is a near-dupe for. I wore the duo out for one entire day, and I found both colours to be awesomely pigmented, have no creasing problems, and stay vibrant all day.

Try combining wet and dry application for added dimension - just allow wet shadow to dry before adding another layer. And then my brain started screaming "TAUPE TAUPE TAUPE" again, and I headed back to Walgreens to get it. So "TAUPE TAUPE TAUPE" and "But I have a gazillion" battled in my head for a grand total of 15mins (it doesn't sound like a lot, but if you actually stood in front of a display looking deep in thought for 15 mins, you're going to look like a weirdo!

Nothing too exciting, but certainly a basic well done, and a great complement to the taupe shade, bringing out it's complexity with the purple tinge of the brown. Other than the big differences in pigmentation and frostiness, I do believe that the colours are very, very similar, if not near-identical. Case in point – its award-winning Skin Foundation is designed to complement your skin’s natural luminosity.HIGH-IMPACT: Highly-concentrated pigments deliver colour-true, deeply saturated shade intensity and clarity for a dramatic payoff.
