I love this shadow. I thought my favorite Nyx shadow was Hawaiian Coffee but when I bought Root Beer, I just fell in love with it. I mainly pair it with Creamy or Taupe, also Nyx shadows. These are...

Not really sure why everyone is referring to this as taupe. The proper definition of taupe is brownish grey, and there's nothing grey about this. Nor is it anything like MAC Satin Taupe. It may...

After having missed out on the beloved and coveted MAC Moth Brown, I began having serious cravings for a plummy-taupe-brown-gray with a slight shimmer. This is it. I can't say for sure that this...

Wonderful shade for my eyes. It's not wonderful at staying on, but it's not terrible. These eyeshadows by NYX are very cheap too.

Really like the color but staying power (not for just this but most of the NYX shadows I own) is terrible. I take off a few lippies for this fact but I do love the color. Too dark for me to use...

Beautiful color and great staying power, especially with a base. Root Beer is a medium cool-toned taupe shadow. It makes a great smokey eye with a little black liner and lots of mascara. I don't...

Awesome taupe eyeshadow. I think it has a bit of a golden undertone rather than a silvery-taupe so it's pretty for the summer with nice bronze skin. It looks nice by itself but is also perfect for...

Love the packaging for all NYX single eyeshadow. It gives the round shapes a run for their money. It's always fun to have something different! As for the famous Root Beer. I love it! It is the...

Click 'continued' for photos. <p>Like most NYX shadows, this is soft, finely-milled texture, applies evenly, so buttery you can beautifully blend it with finger/Q-tip/cheapest brush. Lasts all...

The best contouring/crease neutral shadow I own. This cool-toned, light chocolatey-yet-taupey brown has some satiny shimmer but is not too shimmery and it is not frosty. I do not own MAC Moth...

Wow I love this. My favourite taupe, and I never would have heard of it if it hadn't been for MUA! Beautiful greyish brown, perfect for day wear or smoked out for evening. I wear it with Smut in...

I love this product so much that I've got a second one on standby *just in case* It is a really beautiful mid-deep taupe brown, with grey undertones. I use almost everyday for a neutral smokey...

Root Beer is just a great, basic medium brown shade, with a just a hint of shimmer. I would not describe this as taupe- Dust is a taupe, while Root Beer is, well, reminiscent of the actual color of...

I used to use a gunmetal shade of NYX shadow in college all the time, I loved it until it cracked and crumbled from being bounced around in my makeup bag for too long. After that, I pretty much...

I'm a fan of NYX shadows, but Root Beer just might be my favorite. Mauvy deep taupe - gorgeous. I like it even better than my MAC Satin Taupe, and that's saying something, though they are a...

Dark taupe. It´s dark, bot no too much, actually it´s very buildable, you can apply it very sheer if you want. The more eyeshadow you apply, the more brown (and less grey) it will be. It´s very...

First of all, I have to say that the color swatches online - really bad. I only got this color because I saw a review of it on YouTube - so I was able to see a better representation of the shade. ...
