Re: Suggestions for a taupe smokey look!!
i love mac's satin taupe.
you can use it on the lid with a black e/s in the crease and as a smudged liner. then line your bottom lash line with satin taupe and the black e/s on the outer 1/3 of the lower lash line.

Thanks Liz!!! I hesitate about the black e/s I've never used before and I'm afraid that it would look to much on me and that will make my eyes look smaller and they're already small!!

I know I tried it...and I thought it looked pretty good but I know what you mean by making your eyes look smaller.

What's the shade of the Revlon e/s Melissa??

Hi Sophia!
I know black e/s can be a little hard to use but you can go with a dark metallic grey, it' s not that dark (like black) but still, you can create a nice smokey look.

Sophia, you might be interested in Cargo SmokyEye Eyeliner Duo in shade Budapest; I am thinking of getting it myself but did not have the time to go to Sephora lately...... also, I know that Mac has a great selection of dark shades. Hope this helps!

Re: Suggestions for a taupe smokey look!!
Chanel's Tamises trio looks great on everyone and you can get a variety of looks from it, very natural to nice and smokey.
Or Shu Uemura has some pretty shadows. Do you want more of a matte smoky look or do you want shimmer?
Oh and what price range are you looking for, because I can probably think of cheaper products if those are out of the question.
