This is the most beautiful lipstick ever. I asked the MUA at M.A.C what would be the best nude lipstick that doesn't washes me out. For reference, I am a NC 43. At first she recommended Blankety...

Great caramel nude lipstick for olive skin tones, reminds me of NARS Bahama but with less of a pink undertone. I also love that prices are affordable and the hydrating formula of their lipsticks!...

Taupe is a gorgeous, medium intensity brown with hints of both plum and red. Very flattering. I am a lipstick junky and this is one of the few lipsticks I have used up several times, even though...

HG for me. NW45 for ref. this shade looks great as nude shade and it's matte. Win win in my book. It's not a drying matte like ruby woo but it's absolutely shine free. I think the soft brown color...

This is a great matte, nude lip for darker skintones. I have Indian, NC44 skin and this is one of the only nudes that does not wash me out. It is a peach/pinky-brown on me, but more brown than...

The make up artist suggested this color when I mentioned I wanted a neutral /coral color for my NC45 coloring. The name is misleading to me, it's in the warm family. I love this color! It's very...

I have been looking for this colour. I melted some of my old neutral colour lipsticks into something resembling this colour but hated using it because it was in a jar and came out slightly lighter...

MAC Taupe is my go to lipstick. I wear this shade every single day and I've had it for months. I love the way it looks on my skin (I'm an NC43 for reference) and it just looks flawless! I highly...

I purchased this MAC lip color per their recycling program. The very minute I tried it on I loved it! I've been trying to find the perfect nude for many years and I think I've found it in Taupe. It...

Colour descriptions by other reviewers are accurate...but I will add that the name is a bit deceptive as I think of taupe as cooler or more purple (like Satin Taupe MAC e/s). Regardless, this is a...

Expensive version of Revlon's Cocoa Craving, tbh. While this retails for SG$28, Revlon's retails for SG$15. They are the EXACT same colour, with Revlon's being a smidgen lighter. Also - Revlon's is...

This is such a gorgeous color! On my lips, it's a dusty brick reddish brown. But the more I apply, it comes out to a dusty orangey brown. Love love love. This lipstick is perfect for a light brown...

I got this lipstick as one of my Christmas presents, and it was amazing! It's very high quality, and so amazingly pigmented. I don't have a problem with it being dry if I have lip balm underneath....

On me, Taupe is just...alright. It's nothing special at all. It's half a shade darker than my natural lips and just looks like a plain boaring wash of brown against my complexion. I much prefer it...

Taupe is the perfect fall color. It is a really nice brown based neutral lipstick with a bit of a red brickish color (think of the color of an adobe). I observed that some of the reasons for bad...

The description on the MAC website is pretty accurate: "Muted Reddish Taupe Brown". That's exactly how it looked in the tube. Unfortunately on my lips, it was anything but reddish/brown. It was...
