Matte eyeshadows give the most depth, contour, dimension, and shape to the eye. Nothing is more elegant than a matte, smokey eye! –James Boehmer, Director of Global Artistry
I love to use a Matte Eyeshadow as a base lid color and then work the other eye colors around it. It softens the look of shimmer shadows especially for clients concerned with wrinkles on the eye. –Lisa Leseur, National Makeup Stylist
Apply Matte Eyeshadows in a light shade and then a darker shade for a smooth, velvety finish with no frost. –Jenny Smith, National Makeup Stylist
