    Yet another product I don't get all of the hype over. I mean it's okay, but this definitely is not my favorite eyecolor by any company and, even though it's LE, if it weren't I wouldn't have...

    This wasn't such a special pigment till I caught myself in the mirror in bright natural lighting. It looked gorgeous as a wash over my eyes! Lovely, neutral pigment.

    Subtle is the best shade if you want a nice shade that you dont have to think about pairing. It will play nice with a ton of other colors or just alone. I have a full jar left..shame its hard to find

    Yummy, Yummy, Yummy. Nearly the same color as Coco (the debate rages on....), but slightly plummier, and does not flash as bright (or as silver) as Coco. The color it IS identical to is the Jigs...

    I believe this is a LE pigment. Subtle is a shimmery light brown color with hints of grey? I can't really describe it well. It's comparable to Lancome's 'Click'. It's lovely as a base color for...

    Subtle is a very pretty color, but I thought it would have a more bronze or brownish color to it, but it's very close to other taupe/champagne pigments I own. I love that the shimmer is more for...

    I am NW15 with green eyes. This color was LE with the October 2006 Nocturnelle collection. The color description is a muted taupe plum. Personally, I don't really see the plum in this color. It is...

    This is so pretty. I bought it on sale at a wholesale makeup store and I tend to use it when I want a little more sparkle. It looks very pretty on the lids, it catches the light and looks great...

    THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE PIGMENT. It is KIND OF like satin taupe, but I feel like satin taupe is darker and more muted whereas subtle is shimmery and soft. Perfect for day or night. I only got a...

    I don't think this is anything like Satin Taupe...it is a taupe yes. But it's warmer with more metallic warm shimmer. ST is more brown and silver. I looove the texture of this pigment...just...

    I love Subtle more than any other pigment I own (I own over 50). It's the best taupe with shimmer ever. I use it with pretty much any color and love the results. This is the only pigment that I...

    If I didn't already own a million other taupe-ey shadows, I might have rated this one higher. It is a pretty taupe, and I do use it, but I have so many other taupe shadows that this isn't really...

    I have been using a sample and love it against my blue eyes. People say it is similar to Satin Taupe but on me, I find the two are different. Update: - I was using this so much that I bought a...

    I bought this because I have Coco pigment and I seem to be on a shimmery brown/taupe eyeshadow kick right now. If I have my information correct, Coco is discontinued so I figured I'd stock up on a...
