I love this little shadow. Cheap, easily available, and a total workhorse in my makeup bag. I just apply this to my lid and a bit into the crease, takes 5 seconds per eye, and I look presentable...

This is such an easy everyday eyeshadow for me because it's subtle but has enough shimmer to add 'dimension' - the cheat's way of looking like I've made more effort. It's completely foolproof as a...

This is a very light frosted taupe shade. I gave it 4 out of 5 lippies because it's pretty sheer...but it's a pretty color and would look great over the right base. Perhaps Maybelline's Color...

I'm not sure if I'd buy again or not. Maybe. I wish the shade was more pigmented, but it is nice. It is a light taupe that is close to skin toned with a silvery/lilac tone to it. Very neutral. It's...

I absolutely love this color. I was looking for a light taupe shade I could wear on my lids, and this is it. This shade is a very cool, silvery taupe with slight shimmer, but is probably neutral...

I have used this eyeshadow every day for months now. This is my go to base! I have green eyes and I feel like this compliments them so well. I can either use it alone or as a base to build up for a...

I bought this in the new black packaging. Mine is labeled "Silken Taupe 180S". Although this one isn't quite as pigmented as the others, it adds a dark shimmer to any eye. I like the way it looks...

This is just meh. I really like the color in the pan, but the texture is just awful. I almost have to scrape it to get any color, and it requires lots of patting like other reviewers stated to...

I have to say this is probably one of my favorite eyeshadows esp from Maybelline. I have since purchased the newer taupe shadow that theyve repackaged which is a touch darker than this one but i...

This is the only eye shadow that I actually use the included sponge applicator. The times I used my shadow brush, I spent quite a while trying to build up color. That said, I really like this...

I got this for 2.59$ at walgreens, because they are having a 40% off sale. The color is shimmery. It creases quickly without primer but it wears great with primer. Its subtle enough to wear all...

I was disappointed in the pigmentation of this eye shadow, and honestly don't much like Maybelline eye shadows at all for this reason. The color you do get is very pretty, contains a nice shimmer,...

I got this a few weeks ago when Walgreens was having 40% off all of their Maybelline products. I got this product as well as Covergirl's Tapestry Taupe to compare. I like this one a lot better! It...

I'm loving this! I thought I would hate it because I don't always like drugstore stuff, especially eyeshadows, but with this one I was pleasantly surprised. I don't have a taupe in my collection,...

Bought this on a whim looking for more of a grey colour but I fell in love with this shimmery light silvery- taupe shade. It is paler on than it looks in the pan, is not too glittery for us ladies...

I love taupes and browns but this has a lilac undertone that I do not like. Not very pigmented. Would not buy again. CG Tapestry Taupe is still my HG Taupe.

I got this on clearance at my pharmacy. I can see why. It's quite sheer, which it nice for those days when you don't want a dramatic look. However, if I'm going to go through the trouble of...
