I’ve wanted Shu Uemura’s IR Brown 850 for quite a while… I think it was ever since I read it likened to MAC’s discontinued Smoke & Diamonds which I craved and couldn’t get hold of before it had sold out.
Shu Uemura IR Brown 850 is a very pretty silvery taupe. It’s perfectly neutral, leaning neither too warm nor too cool and as we have come to expect from Shu Uemura shadows, applies with a beautifully smooth texture.
By the way, incase you’re wondering where you can get it from… I’m taking a leaf out of PinkSith’s book. Sorry. Nice though, innit?
Now there is a taupe I can get on board with!
Charlotte – you should totally try isa dora’s icy khaki eyeshadow – its also on Pink Sith’s taupes you can’t have list! Its not khaki at all – its a silvery tape – i wear it all the time!
This is gorgeous! x
Have you ever tried ‘by terry’s’ taupe? it’s called ‘misty grey’ and words can’t describe how much I love it – it’s kind of… well, without going overboard or anything, mystical – it’s got depth, it’s buildable, it can be a sheer wash or a deep deep stain. It’s a breathtaking taupe and I HAD to tell you! I have never spent £23 on an eyeshadow in my life before but oh my gosh – SO worth it! (I found it in spacenc on a rare trip to that there london last weekend)
ps. In real life I’m actually quite sane.
Aww. Thanks for the link! I warms my cold black heart when other bloggers torture readers with Taupes they can’t have! This is a good one to torture people with! Awesome review & pictures!!!
