I have searched for a swatch of this eyeshadow but can`t find it anywhere...
Anyone have a swatch of it they could show me?
For reference I have Tailfeather and Taupetastic.

Thanks so much in advance :)

I don't have a swatch, just a etod

It's pretty much all over my lid and crease, if I remember right. It's a matte, unlike tailfeather, and more brown, I think. I don't have taupastic(sp).

I wear eu-taupa-ia when I want my very pale skin above my eyes to sort of look like what other darker skinned girls eyes look like without makeup. If that makes sense. Like their natural pigmentation. Or if I want to wear a light highlight color all over and have just a tiny amount of definition. My have very hooded eyes and don't always want to wear a dark crease color. It makes my eyes looks like this chic's eyes...but in this video she has no eye makeup on:

I've redone her look with all SN actually.

I'm a Big fan of eu-taupa-ia. It's definitely in my top 5 shadows ever.

Thank you Silverfern :)
It may be my monitor, I am not able to see much of it... :oops:
Or it is really so neutral and with not much color so it blends in real good in your skin :D

Anywho, it made me more curious about it so I may have to put it in my wishlist and see when I can get it, because I think it WILL be mine one day, lol :lol:
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out! :D

Yeah that pic doesn't do it justice. You see the lighter color on the side of my nose? That is the natural color of my eye lids also. So the slightly darker brown along my eye lashes and little above is the color.

I'll get you a better swatch maybe tomorrow. I'd like to have it in photobucket so I can show it off more often :)

Anytime :) I use Eu-Taupe-Ia quite a bit, it is such a nice color. I like to use it as a nice neutral look or sometimes I will just do a wash of color with it and then line with something bold like Teal. It is a staple for me.
