For me, almost every look starts with a neutral matte eye shadow. Sometimes I use them for the star of the show for a matte eye, but no matter what, I believe that they are so important for a transition or crease shade. Below are the singles that I rely on and use as a backbone to almost all my looks. Usually eye shadow palettes come with some nice transition shades of their own (The ABH Modern Renaissance is AMAZING!), but I think I prefer these to almost anything else that I have.
Warm Colors
Tuscan Sun / medium salmon pink
Bitten / matte deep maroon red
Cocoa Bear / matte reddish brown
Frappe / medium maple brown
Wild West / rich rose brown
Unexpected / matte pale pink brown
ABH Blazing / Brick red
Light & Brown Neutrals
Latte / medium brown
Creme Brulee / medium sand color
Desert Sands / medium camel brown with warm yellow undertones
Chickadee / matte yellow orange
ABH Custard / warm sand
Peach Smoothie / light peach beige
White Lies / pure white
Without even meaning to I picked all Makeup Geek ($6) and Anastasia Beverly Hills ($12). The pigmentation and blend-ability (made up this word) on these are amazing! Another formula I like are also the MAC singles, and they recently reduced their price to $6. These are easy to take in a Z palette when I travel. I grab a shimmery Colourpop eye shadow or two to mix and match and I am set! Thank you for reading, and please let me know which matte shadows you love.
