    Default Matte eye shadow without shimmer

    I did a search on this and couldn't really find anything. Does anyone have any recommendations for shadows that have no shimmer to them, but are decent quality?

    The only shadows I have without shimmer are mac. I LOVE urban decay, but almost all of their shadows have shimmer and/or glitter in them. I also have the sephora blockbuster from last year and I think there might be 2 semi matte shadows in the 60 or so shadows that come with that collection.

    Thanks. Looking forward to your recommendations.

    Urban Decay has a line of matte eyeshadows that are really great and have a lot of pigment.

    Smashbox also has some really great matte colors, though they don't have the pop and intensity of Urban Decay.

    UD does? I just got the Book of Shadows II kit and all of the shadows are shimmery or have glitter. The black is the most matte, but still has shimmer. And you're right about smash box, I bought shadow from them a long time ago and I do remember that they were on the matte side.

    Thanks to all of you for your recommendations. I'm pretty much looking for neutral matte shadows to off-set my new crazy-shimmery ones.

    Anything you get in a kit from Urban Decay is going to have shimmer, cause that's really what they're known for. If you buy the single eyeshadows, the foolproof way to tell is the packaging: the shimmery eyeshadows come in a silvery container, and the matte ones come in like a bronze-ish container.

    I went the cheap route w/ Revlon. They are actually what I was looking for. They were also nearly out of stock at my local CVS, so other women really like them too, I guess.

    Thanks:-)

    Nars. You can find the brand at Sephora, their eyeshadow is of high quality and has great pigment. My favorite line next to M.A.C!

    'Maybelline' now do a nice range of eyeshadow shades - and their matte foundation is great too.
