Taupe Notch isn't going to blow your mind or leave you fantasizing about fun looks you can create.  What it is going to be is a bread and butter shade.  One of those shades that you find yourself using daily and that can be used for many different purposes.

It is a nice neutral taupe shade with a slight shimmer, kind of a satiny finish.  Again, no sock knocking, just enough to keep it from being a dry matte. It is very buttery and because of the pigmentation it is a good idea to tap out your brush as it can be a little powdery.

The pigmentation on this is good and it blends out very well.  I have been loving this on the outer V and blended into the crease.  I think on different skin tones this would have different uses.  It is good for a summery smokey eye, when you don't want your colors to be too harsh, to ground a more dramatic color, or as a simple neutral shade for basic eye look.  

It has good lasting power and I'm very happy with this purchase.  It is quickly becoming a favorite shade.

You can see it in action in this Fresh Summer Look by Maya Mia, in this smokey look by Lisa J, Summer "Mermaid Eye" by Jessica Rembish, and in this Summery Smokey Eye by Elanna Pecherle.

* No one paid for me to have Taupe Notch or for me to think it is top notch sort of shade.
