In this video Ashley breaks down each of the new matte eyeshadow shades and swatch them to show you the details of each. When creating these 9 new matte eyeshadows, we aimed to fill in the gaps in our current matte eyeshadow line-up and keep them all very neutral for easy, everyday wear. Neutral matte eyeshadows are classic & timeless so they'll never go out of style. Find the best shades for you by Shopping By Eye Color or purchase the entire palette here.
Below the video, we've listed each new shade and its description for those who like to read instead of watch. And after that you'll be relieved to understand how our palettes are different and why they save you time, money and hassle. There's also a link to get access to our free course that will teach you everything you've wanted to know about about eye makeup (it's new and amazing).
Heirloom is a light matte base eyeshadow and can also be used as a matte highlight shade (inner corner and brow bone). It has a yellow undertone which differentiates it from Porcelain (off-white/bone) and Pixie Dust (light pink).
Hush Hush is another light matte base eyeshadow and on medium skin tones can be used as a matte highlight. This has a peachy undertone which differentiates it from Heirloom (yellow), Porcelain (off-white/bone), and Pixie Dust (light pink).
Blondeshell is a honey blonde matte eyeshadow that can be used in so many ways. Our favorite use for this shade is as a brow powder for people with blonde hair or super light brown hair. Next, as an eyeshadow it's great for all-over lid color, crease color and a transition color. This versatile shade is gorgeous and super pigmented.
Tip Taupe was designed as a light grayish-brown taupe to take our two current eyeshadows and make a blend of them (Taken For Granite & Brownie Points). Because of the nature of taupe - it can be worn for both cool and warm skin tones and is an eyeshadow palette essential.
Hello Darkness is the dark taupe eyeshadow blending two of our other current matte shadows together (Clean Slate & Espresso). This rich dark taupe can be used as an eyeliner or crease color and is super pigmented and completely buildable and blendable (as are they all!).
Made You Wink was designed to bring some color into our new matte eyeshadow lineup but still keep it neutral. This rosy taupe works beautifully as an eyelid color or a crease color. Complementing so many different eye colors and working for both warm and cool skin tones this shade is gorgeous.
Plum's Up! is a plum taupe designed to complement and work well with Made You Wink but also blend beautifully with numerous other shadows. This shade would look especially amazing as a crease color or eyelid color for green, hazel and brown eyes.
Earth Girl is a camel matte eyeshadow shade. With its rich warm tones that lean a bit orange it makes blue, grey and hazel eyes POP - but also looks amazing on warm olive and brown skin tones no matter their eye color!
She's Spicy is an incredible cognac rich warm reddish-brown matte eyeshadow that is super pigmented and buildable. Similar to Earth Girl this will make blue, grey and hazel eyes POP - but also looks amazing on warm skin tones no matter their eye color. Works amazingly well in combination with Earth Girl and Heirloom.
