That's why I own SO FEW of the taupes- bc they work poorly on my skintone. Once you find 3 or 4 AMAZING perfect versions of the taupes/browns you love, you truly will feel satisfied. That's how I am with warm browns- you wouldn't know I'm a warm brown addict because I don't have that many. But that's just it- I found 2 or 3 perfect ones and I never had to look again.<br /><br />As for the dupe issue, I can't recommend Temptalia's site enough for swatch-comparisons. But beyond that, going to visit Ulta/Sephora/MAC in person is good. Go on swatching trips for an hour with the stated purpose of finding out what is similar to what you already own. You can even bring your shades with you and swatch them on your wrist in the car before you go in the store to test out potential new purchases!Lena H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02629863300729210600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072501560290920951.post-25702240296357101892017-03-10T13:03:52.789-08:002017-03-10T13:03:52.789-08:00Hi fellow redditor!

If you don't mind me asking, I personally have a thing for neutral-leaning-cool browns/taupes/champagnes (don't we all). The main thing that keeps drawing me in is I'm always tempted by the idea that while a color might look the same in the pan, the undertones might play differently with my skintone. Granted, this has actually happened a couple of times, but for the most part I think I'm just being a sucker for reviews. How are you so good at identifying dupes in your collection? You seem to have a pretty good handle on what works for your skin, so maybe that's my issue.<br /><br />Anyways thanks for the great article, and please don't stop posting!Wynemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333268352094199808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072501560290920951.post-45997710226634908282017-03-10T09:55:23.127-08:002017-03-10T09:55:23.127-08:00Fantastic post.

But they don't have the same type of magnetization as most pans (tin, etc) so they need a small magnet or a trimmed piece of magnetic sticker sheet to go on the back before putting in a similar palette :)Lena H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02629863300729210600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072501560290920951.post-37641296819894481612017-03-09T17:13:45.753-08:002017-03-09T17:13:45.753-08:00Loved this!
