"You don't need scores of suitors. You need only one...if he's the right one..." said Amy to flustered Meg March. That little girl with the nose knows. She doesn't know I feel exactly the same way about taupe brown eyeshadow, but she needn't ask me how many brown eyeshadows I have, lol, (most of mine are in palettes). I have a professional excuse. Meet today's right one, Turkish brand Flormar's Terracotta Eyeshadow in M110.
It's got that appealing baked appearance sans the shimmer which to me resembles an encased chocolate macaron. I was looking for a wearable single brown shadow I could use for single-sweep daily use that wasn't shimmery and as luminous as MAC All That Glitters (which I've hit pan on months ago). This issues a medium brown satin finish over the lid with a massively subtle orchid undertone...might be something like a matte whisper of By Terry's Misty Rock.

For a department store dweller this one is mid-rangepriced at Php499 each from SM Department Store (the price hike from importation makes sense), but to be fair in terms of value it's nothing short of gi-normous for a single eyeshadow. MAC eyeshadow singles while beautiful as well are still honestly an eye-watering Php900++ for something a third of the size.
You'll see me put this pretty shade on in the video I'm currently editing which is the tutorial of the look above. The size of this Flormar eyeshadow is audacious, it's practically the size of a small compact blush at 4g (larger than the little Bourjois pots) and this beautifully subtle yet noticeable shade easily doubles as a contour powder. Flormar eyeshadow compacts are available at SM Beauty for Php499 each, one of their most complete stores is their Makati Branch.
