Matte eyeshadow colors are often stay untouched in palettes because it is hard to work with matte textures. They require extra blending effort and you need to know a few little makeup secrets to perfect your matte eyeshadow look.

First of all, you need to apply an eyeshadow primer, that will smooth out your eyelids, creating the perfect base for matte eyeshadow. When you work with matte eyeshadows, it’s best to slowly build up the color intensity starting with light, medium and moving towards the darkest color. Picking a good transition color for seamless blending is crucial for a beautiful matte look and you might even want to apply this as the first step right after primer so that everything blends together nicely. Blending with a clean and soft blending brush is key to smooth eyeshadow application.

If your skin is prone to excess oil resulting in an oily face, you need to find a good, oil free makeup primer. Using mattifying skin primer before your foundation will help you to keep your skin smooth and reduce oiliness. If you have enlarged pores and other skin imperfections, it's better to stay away from shimmering highlighters and blushes and you might want to try a suitable primer like this one. Substitute shimmery face products with beautiful mattes and your makeup will look just perfect! Remember, focus more on the base and the bare canvas and it will help your makeup application go on a lot smoother.

To make your matte makeup look last all day (or night!) long use a mattifying setting spray. This product will ensure everything stays in place and will prevent annoying smudging, creasing and fading. Trust us, once you use this, you will never leave home without it again!
