What is your least favorite matte eyeshadow formula?

Urban Decay’s eyeshadow formula has been pretty weak for me these days. Not terrible, but I’d just never reach for a UD palette these days 🙁

Tom Ford Dark Opulence Eyeshadow Quad

Tom Ford Beauty Dark Opulence Eye Color Quad ($90.00 for 0.35 oz.) was a disappointment through and through and made me feel every bit of $90 poorly spent. Two of the shades were nightmarish to use as they were thin and had such a deep, blackish base that the sheerness...

Dior Khaki (343) Eyeshadow Palette

Dior Khaki (343) 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palette ($65.00 for 0.24 oz.) piqued my interest based on the desaturated, earthy color story, but it does represent the brand's most recent eyeshadow reformulation. It's not the worst Dior eyeshadow formula I've tested, as there...

What product type do you hate using and hope is vastly improved soon?
