Formula Overview
$5.25/0.06 oz. - $87.50 Per Ounce
The matte eyeshadows tend to be pigmented (typically semi-opaque or opaque, often buildable if they aren't opaque) with a soft, more velvety texture that has slight slip but isn't so thick that it gets difficult to use, applies unevenly, or has a lot of fallout. I've found that most of the matte eyeshadows apply and blend out without much effort but a few may take a bit more effort to diffuse along the edges. The matte formula tends to wear between eight and eight and a half hours on me.

when will these new shadows be available? I want mind blown, and it and the others are not on the website.
They are part of the mystery bag, which is still available last I checked, but there’s no guarantee of what you’ll receive!
Broken Promise is so freakin’ GORGEOUS! Those purple-taupes get me every. single. time.
I agree! And I have been searching for a dupe of Mac’s discontinued Copperplate for years! Really sad I cannot find this shadow on SG’s website, and no mention of it anywhere near the mystery bags…
I want ALL of these but I didn’t get any of them and they aren’t available for sale as singles!!!
These very tricky neutral matte shades have been done extremely well by the brand. – these are the kind of shades my twin sister likes and I am going to show them to her. Looking at the dupes for some of the shades, I can see that other brands have dones these not as well, or even quite poorly.
Can’t find them swatched as part of anybody’s mystery bag anywhere on the internet though…
They are part of the grab bag, not the mystery bags!
Thank you so much Christine!
