When I want something less warm and more neutral than Taupe, I reach for this one and it’s gorgeous! It’s a rosey-taupe that’s mistakenly (?) listed as a shimmer on the Bobbi Brown site, but is most certainly a flat matte. The shade Nude Beach is also awesome for everyday wear. I’ve taken it on countless trips with me (when I used to travel), it’s just the bee’s knees! I’ve been obsessed with this shade for years now, and wore it almost exclusively after I discovered it. This is a warm mid-tone matte brown that leans slightly orange on my pale skin tone. The shade Taupe is anything but a traditional taupe. Chuck on a primer if you want extended longevity.

I wear these without a primer and I’d say you’ll get a good 7 or so hours of wear before some minimal creasing sets in. You can get your eyeshadow on in less than a minute flat. There’s no drag across the lid, no patchiness, no unpleasantness at all just easy-peasy application and blending. I’ve mentioned these sticks many times before on the blog – most recently in this post from last year – but this is hands-down the creamiest eyeshadow formula I’ve ever used. Personally I prefer a matte finish, and that’s why the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks in the shades Taupe and Nude Beach are absolute hall-of-fame for me. You know I adore my cream shadow sticks they are just so darn easy to use and nowadays they come in so many different finishes. Let’s get started! BOBBI BROWN LONG-WEAR CREAM SHADOW STICKS IN NUDE BEACH AND TAUPE So in today’s post I’m taking you through my current go-to everyday eyeshadows from some of my absolute favorite brands. I love smudging a bit of shadow on my lids most days, and I tend to reach for something that’s quick to apply, quick to blend and (usually) neutral in tone. I haven’t written a dedicated eyeshadow post in what feels like forever, but I recently got the itch again.
