On the one hand, MATTES. It’s always good to have them around, however these want to veer into patchy territory, particularly if I over-blend.

You can certainly get where you requirement to choose it — that pleased eyeshadow location where whatever looks smooth as well as even as well as completely mixed — however it may take a few tries as well as a while. That said, I believe there are other palettes with mattes as well as shimmers that are a bit simpler to utilize (theBalm nude ‘tude concerns mind).
