theBalm Meet Matt(e) Eyeshadow Palette
TheBalm proudly introduces Meet Matt(e), a shadow palette that will meet all of your matte needs! The nine shadows found in this compact palette (named after our favorite Matthews next door) can be combined to create a multitude of soft and wearable looks. In the daytime, choose more neutral shades to seamlessly blend together, enhance your eyes, and compliment your complexion. In the evening, create a sultry, smoky eye by concentrating the velvety, rich colors at the lash line and blend towards the crease. Meet Matt(e) offers the best in matte color, versatility, and convenience.
Meet Matt(e) is the perfect portable size. This palette can be easily tucked into a makeup bag for the gym, in the top drawer of your desk, or even the tiniest evening clutch. You can take him anywhere!
availability: theBalm, $34.50

Hi. What do you think about this palette? Would u recommend it? Thanks!
Just scored this, plus Shady Lady vol 2 & vol 3 at TJMaxx! Love it!
looks super duper close to my two faced matte palette but since i've been on a mattes kick lately, i will probably pick this up
this is such a creative concept!
Is Sephora going to carry the balm meet matt eyeshadow palette?
I scored this for $16.99 at TJ Maxx. I'm stoked to try the colors out!
I just got this at TJ Maxx, but I'm not seeing it for sale anywhere.. is it out yet? If anyone wants it, check your local TJ Maxx!
i just bought mine from marshalla for $17. i hate buying any type of beauty product from marshalls and tj maxx because everyone rips it open and sticks their fingers in all of the products. i double checked mine before i bought it to make sure it wasn't too abused and i was pretty lucky that it was in good condition. i noticed on the sephora website that a lot of thebalm products are not in stock. and now with thebalm being sold at discounted prices at marshalls and tj maxx i bet that sephora wont be carying thebalm in the future.....
I’ve never used theBalm products, but I'LL be buying this.
No Matt Pritchard, Mat(t) Hoffman or Matt Lewis, I'll pass. :P
Unless the colours would be surprisingly pretty and not dupeable, that is...
Found this at tjmaxx today for $17 along with shady lady volumes 2 and 3 for that price as well, love them so far!
They have this palette at TJ Maxx for I believe 12-16 dollars, just saw it today, I didn't know it was new, I thought it was a past collection, now I will go and buy it..LOL it sure beats paying full price, so ladies if there is a TJ Maxx close to you grab yours while you still can. =-)
When I read "Matthews next door," I was thinking of Cory Matthews and his family who live next door to George Feeny. LOL. 90's TV xP
I swore I just saw this at TJ Maxx for 16.99...
What if they'd thought of putting a white/bone colour in there? Why, they'd have to call it Matt LeBlanc
LMAO so true. actually a matte white and a matte black would have been awesome!
i love how the matt smith is a nude :) like smith is a common name....and ramirez is olive, like their skintone, chung is pale and pink, like asians like their make-up :)) matt mcdonald is a bold american loool rant fun idea but that guy's eyebrows are HUGE
Christine, will there be a review on this palette?
matte shadows are not my cup of tea.....actually I look tired in flat colored shadows....that said....neither is a pic of a caricature of a male that epitomize something of the American '50- '60s on my makeup...I already own the Balm's Cabana Boy for its pigmented blush...needs to stay gender neutral.
I might have to get this; I don't have many mattes in my collection.
I have the Shady Lady 2 palette and I love it, so I'm excited for this! Especially since I have so few matte eyeshadows. Will there be a review on this?
can't wait to see the swatch for matt smith :)
A full matte palette, wow! I really really want to get my hands on this. Will there be a review coming up?
I'm more curious about this palette than the Urban Decay's book of shadows vol IV.
me too!!! I would LOVE swatches! (pretty please with a cherry and sprinkles on top christine? theBalm is my HG eyeshadow brand)
Really hoping the color payoff is good and not dull & sheer - this would be a go-to palette =D
Does anybody know if I can buy this palette if I live outside the US? Thanks!
I saw this set at Marshall's for $16.99 along with the shadow boxes 2 and 3 plus a few blushes
I'm excited about these! My older eyes like Matt! :)
Damn theBalm for taking advantage of Doctor Who fans...I now need this palette more than anything.
That's hilarious. My ex is named Matt Smith.
A Matt(e) palette! The colours aren't inspiring but I love mattes. I'm going to wait until I see the swatches. Christine, are you going to be able to do swatches for us?
Nice looking palette, but mattes aren't my thing, so I'm going to pass on it.
I think it's hilarious that they've given each of the 'Matt' shadows a last name. The palette looks a bit boring, though.
I love mattes. But.. I kinda wish there was a nice rich matte black included :(
agree, there should be :) matt black
This looks cool. I can't wait to see swatches!
OMG! Not only do I love theBalm, but my bf is named Matt and he kinda looks like the guy on the front. Haha. Enough of a reason for me to purchase!
Oh my god, it made my day to see this! I've been waiting for a new palette from TheBalm for such a long time!!!
I love the Balm for their packaging but I've never bought any of their products because I already had so many things that were similar... But honestly I LOVE the idea behind this palette! It's really cute, and despite the fact they ditched the pinup/animal print packaging (which I'm usually a total sucker for), I absolutely love it. Matte eyeshadows look so nice on.
their shades look rather basic but they really aren't. often I'll have two shadows side by side and both look similar but when I swatch thebalm it looks 100x prettier. and the texture and pigmentation is better than UD, MAC, etc.
I work at Marshalls and occasionally we get theBalm products. It never sells though because people where I live have no idea what Sephora or theBalm is. We just got this in for $16.99, and I'm definitely going to pick it up.
Really!? I better check my local Marshalls!
I love TheBalm's eyeshadows and wish more were available here (the Sephora near me doesn't carry it at all and the drugstore near my school carries a limited collection - they had The Balmbini but have never had any of the Shady Lady palettes). I discovered the line thanks to you and this site, Christine. Such clever names and packaging, as always (when I just saw the titled, I thought it was going to be a mattifying powder!)
I posted a few days ago about theBalm Shady Lady II & III. This palette is also available at both TJ Maxx & Marshall's in Michigan (as of Aug 10th, 2011). So check yours out...A great price - $16.99. I love the other palettes! Peace!
what about II & III?
The colors aren't crazy exciting, but I love the general idea. There really needs to be more matte palettes (especially with bright, fun colors). I am crossing my fingers and hoping Urban Decay makes an awesome matte palette one day.
I don't put too hope for that. especially when they just put all the matte eyeshadow singles on sale for super cheap. It might take a while then
YES YES YES! Am I the only one tired with shimmer palettes? Matte needs to make a come back or something, because if you work corporate, shimmer has no place there. And I love they didn't include a white shade as highlighter but a skin toned shade instead. Christine, do you have a recommendation for matte palettes? :)
