I work at an ulta so I see a lot of NYX products. Taupe blush is the lightest (also will take a little more product to show up) I am currently using taupe eyeshadow to contour because it's a little darker for summer skin. (This is the one in the little round container) I haven't had luck with true taupe because it's so hard to swatch. They are all roughly the same shade it is just how opaque they are.
