Ben Nye Hair Color Taupe, 59ml

Ben Nye Hair Color Taupe is a liquid temporary hair colour on an alcohol base, made for theatre, film, cosplay and character makeup. The Taupe shade sits between brown and grey - a muted, neutral tone that reads as natural and worn-in under stage or camera lighting.

• Liquid temporary hair colour, alcohol-based
• Colour: Taupe - muted greyish-brown, neutral tone
• Dries quickly without weighing hair down
• Washes out with warm water and shampoo
• Contents: 59 ml (2 fl. oz.)

Which character and military looks can you create with Taupe?

Taupe fills a gap that brown and grey both miss. It is not warm, not cool - it sits right in the middle. That makes it ideal for weary soldiers, aged characters, old men whose hair is not quite grey yet, and any role where hair needs to look used, faded and lived-in.

It also works well for beard and brow touch-ups in the same colour range. Blend it with Silver Grey or Dark Grey for a streaky, aged effect.

When would you choose Taupe over another shade?

Choose Taupe when you need a neutral, non-committal tone that convinces on camera or from the audience. No warm red undertone (that is Auburn), no cool steel grey (that is Dark Grey). Taupe sits between the two - and that is exactly what it is made for.

It also works as a blending colour. Mix a touch of Taupe into silver-grey hair for extra depth, or use it on white hair to knock the brightness back without adding warmth.

How to use it

Apply to dry, styled hair. Use a mascara wand for detail work on beards or brows, a fine comb for an even overall coverage, or a toothbrush for a textured, speckled effect. Build colour in thin layers and let each one dry before applying the next - that way you keep control of the intensity. It dries quickly and leaves hair feeling light.

Pro tip: Pour a small amount of Taupe into a mixing dish and apply with a flat brush for larger areas like a full beard or the sides of the head. You will use less product and get a more even finish than applying straight from the bottle.

Removing

Taupe washes out with warm water and shampoo. No separate remover needed. If you have light or porous hair, test a small section first - lighter hair can absorb pigment more readily and may need an extra wash.

Cover costumes and clothing before applying. The colour can leave marks on fabric if applied heavily.

What can you use it for?

• Temporary hair colouring for theatre, film or television
• Character makeup: aged hair, military looks, weathered characters
• Touching up beard, brows or individual strands
• Optically filling in thinning or sparse areas
• Cosplay where muted, natural hair tones are needed
