I don’t but I really want to try using matte shadows.

I tend to use shimmer eyeshadows only. I wear glasses, and I feel like each time I try matte ES, it kinda dulls out my eyes, while shimmer ES opens it.

I do love them but only certain colors. A lot of matte eye shadows can seem flat if it doesn’t have a smooth or deep color to it. I think a lot of times adding shimmer is just a way cosmetics companies take regular colors and make them attractive and wearable. I do hate chunky glitter and shades that are too shimmery.

Now we moved into our new apartments that has a lot of bright lights, I found out MAC lustre formula and Mineralized eyeshadows are just too much, making me look like a drag queen. Now I prefer using matte shadows (matte2 or MUFE mattes, not MAC matte!) for contouring and a bit of shimmer for highlighting.

I use both matte and shimmer. I usually end up mixing the two and it comes out nice.

I like matte shadows, as it is sophisticated and I like the velvety finish to it. I especially like to use mattes for the crease and a matte nude colour for brow bone highlight. My favourite mattes are MAC matte and matte2.
