Matt Eye Shadow

Matte eye shadows help to create a natural and concise make-up. However, depending on the color gamut of the set, with the help of matte palettes you can make a creative artistic make-up, which combines bright colors.

What to choose: mother-of-pearl or matte shadows?

Today, the beauty market offers two types of shadows: matte and having a mother-of-pearl or shine. It would seem that the choice of shadows depends only on the idea of ​​make-up and personal preference, but this is not entirely true. The fact is that matte shadows are initially shaded more heavily than pearly shadows. This is due to their composition and density. At the same time, matte shadows have a more saturated pigment, and therefore they require a good ability to handle color in makeup: if the lines are poorly shaded or unevenly applied, the shadows will stain and this will catch your eye.

With pearly shadows, it is difficult to make such mistakes, regardless of the quality of the shadow and how much it costs. Therefore, for the desire to make the makeup of the matte shadows you need to stock up not only with patience, but also with money: poor-quality matte shadows are cheap, but it's almost impossible to make beautiful make-up with a non-professional.

That is why when choosing a palette of matte shadows, it is worth stopping the choice on professional cosmetics.

Palette of matte shadows

The best matte eye shadow is represented by companies that occupy a professional niche in the beauty market. Their cosmetics is focused on creating makeup for photo sessions, video shoots - it is stable and has rich colors.

The best matte shadows in the ratio of price and quality can be found in the companies Naked and Inglot. Inglot - Polish company, which provides an opportunity to buy not expensive, and at the same time, quality professional cosmetics. The shadows of these two companies are well shaded, they have a rich color and do not slide down due to easy formulas.

Often it is impossible to meet a palette with exceptionally matte multi-colored shadows. Manufacturers produce matt palettes only in natural shades - beige, apricot, nut, white, etc. If you need matte bright colors - red, blue, yellow, blue, green, you will have to choose the optimal palette containing these matte colors with pearlescent shadows.

This placement of shadows in the palette is due to the fact that in full-fledged makeup it is often impossible to do without pearly accents, which are applied to the inner corners of the eyes and the middle of the upper eyelid.

Also, when choosing shadows, you should pay attention to the size of the palette - the more shades, the often smaller the volume of each color. Since makeup usually uses several familiar colors, it is better to choose a medium or small palette that contains the most necessary colors.

Makeup with frosted shadows

Makeup with frosted shadows will be successful if you follow several rules:

  1. The base under the shadow . This is an important parameter in creating a permanent eye makeup. The fact is that thanks to the base under the shadow (which you need to choose the one that produces the used shadows), they are much easier and faster to shade, and therefore the makeup looks beautiful. Also, the base under the shade prolongs the life of make-up - it does not allow shadows to roll down and lose color for a long time.
  2. Brush . Feathering and the imposition of shadows should be performed with the help of natural and soft brushes of special purpose . The brush for overlapping reminds a scapula, and the feather brush is beveled on one side and voluminous.
  3. Color . The choice of color in make-up is of primary importance, so before you start making a make-up, you should think about which shadows will be accentuated and will be located at the outer corner of the eye, and which ones are inside.
Matt eye shadows are used in different makeup techniques, but recently in fashion images one can observe in the makeup of eyes bright shadows of the same color, as if sloppy, with moderate shading.
