Disclaimer: I purchased this.
Nude Compliment may be my favorite of the 4 new Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows I purchased from the Maybelline Dare to Go Nude spring collection. I love a good taupe, and as you will soon see from some comparison swatches below, a true taupe in a cream product is not that easy to find. Or at least not in my collection.Nude Compliment's formula was smooth, creamy, easy to work with, and blended nicely with the other 3 shadows I have from this collection. I especially liked using this as on all over lower lid color, and it worked well on it's own or as a base color for powder shadows. There is a softness to how Nude Compliment looks on the eye that made it so pretty, and I can see this becoming a staple in my eye wardrobe.
I compared Nude Compliment to other cream formulas I have, and no dupes were found. I was actually surprised to see how warm the other shades pulled, making Nude Compliment the truest taupe in the bunch. The next closest was the LE 24/7 cream shadow pencil Juju by Urban Decay. As an aside, it looks like UD is discontinuing the shadow pencils, as the few colors left are on sale for $9. My mother will be sad, she loves them.
