While spring-cleaning few weeks ago, I was greeted by a plush velvety pouch hiding beneath the rubble that is makeup, ugh! But seriously, how did it skip my radar? I knew I took photos but for some twist of fate, it just vanished into oblivion. Sounds like a big deal ha?
See, how can you not admire this beauty?
Encased in a luxe and mirrored chrome packaging with distinctive Burberry plaid design, this sheer eye shadow is a must-have for those who favor earthy neutrals day-in and out.
Taupe Brown No. 07 ($29, 2.5g/ 0.88 oz) is straight up grayish brown from the pan to peepers. It is semi-matte, buttery-smooth, and with commendable wear time. Over primer, it held up to seven hours before it started to fade. It has moderate pigmentation but is undoubtedly buildable if you prefer a more smoky look.
I’m all for easy, fool-proof, one-color smoky eyes so for my makeup below, I applied Taupe Brown on my lids quite a few times to build the color. Then with a crease brush, I blended it out to create a soft-sheer transitional effect. I also smudged my lower lash line with the same color. For finishing touches, I tight-lined my upper lash line with black liner, used a bronze eyeliner for my waterline, and applied mascara on my upper and bottom lashes. Trust me, this eye makeup can be done in five minutes or less!
Okay spill the deets, have you forgotten some of your makeups? I’m 1000% sure I’m not alone!

Gorgeous as always!
Many mahalo's Naomi
Um, yes I can honestly say I "forget" I have certain makeup items all the time. #beautybloggerproblems I guess right? Love your brows in this pic!!
I knew it! Cheers to that, haha! Thanks much, eyebrows were behaved this time, haha!
Amazing shade and look super gorgeous on you!!!! Love it!
yay, thanks Jamie!
That shadow is so pretty!
Indeed.
Oh, I'm so guilty of forgetting makeup. But it's like a present when I find it again! lol. The one-color eyeshadows are the worst offenders of this for me – I get sucked into using palettes and forget about that lovely gotta-have color I picked up all by its lonesome. You did a lovely look with just that one shadow, though! I need to try that.
I know I'm not entirely alone with this "forgetfulness". True, it feels like a present or winning a lotto, haha! Thanks Nidia, you should try this one-eyeshadow thingie
That is such a fab color!
super agree!
Love this natural look on you. And ohhh, fancy with the Burberry.
thank you!
I love shoppin' my stash like this.
yeah, it's fun, like really fun!
It looks great on you!
thanks Leelo

Ditto what Brooke said! That's a great, pigmented brown.
Wow ! The shade is very pretty and the packaging as well
That is a beautiful shade. I think it would be quite versatile for most people.
