Ace Beaute 15-Pan Eyeshadow Palette Swatches (Reformulation)

Ace Beaute recently reformulated their eyeshadows, and though I swatched the original formula, I never ended up reviewing it (I wasn't super happy with the original performance and had higher priority things to review, so they just kept falling to the end of my review queue, so-to-speak).

What ratio of shimmer/matte do you prefer in an eye palette?

What ratio of shimmer/matte do you prefer in an eye palette?

For a quad, I like three shimmers and one matte, but for larger palettes, say 10 or more shades, then 1/2 to 2/3 shimmers to mattes.

Huda Beauty Rose Quartz Eyeshadow Palette ($67.00 for 0.59 oz.) includes eight matte eyeshadows and 10 shimmery eyeshadows. I appreciate that the brand does different textures and formulas throughout their palettes, but it does make for a bit of a learning curve when working...
