    This looks like a frosty murky greyish white on my eyelids, which I don't really care for. Probably my least favorite taupe that I've tried. The pigmentation is decent, but the color is no good.

    Something about this color makes it the perfect contouring shade for my NW15 skin. It's easy to blend, it's buildable and just perfect in every way. I like the packaging too, I expected it to be...

    I bought this as a contour shade and it is excellent for that. Although I think I prefer the Stone color. This does come off as slightly gray on my warm skin tone. I have also used this as an eye...

    This is one of the best purchases I've made recently. Like other reviewers, I've been using this as a contour powder and it does a great job as long as you don't over-apply. Works great on eyes too...

    Just like everyone else, I love NYX taupe for contour. I rarely used any contour before this powder because they all looked unnatural on my light skin. This color is med-toned cool taupe with a...

    This blush is a perfect, natural looking contour colour, pure grey-toned taupe with not a hint of warmth. There's no need to fork out for other popular contour powders, such as MAC Harmony or...

    Like most reviewers, I use "taupe" for contouring my nose bridge and cheekbones because, for my NC30-ish skin-tone, "taupe" is the closest match to what a shadow looks like on my skin. It is so...

    I use this for contouring for my NC20-25 skin. It's highly pigmented, at a reasonable price point, and buildable. This matte shade is great as it looks natural.
