Hi all! I have a lot of MAC pigments, and a few e/s too, but I am fast realising that almost ALL of them are frosty shimmery e/s!

I'm looking to create a more classy makeup look, and I think matte e/s are what I need..

sooo, can anyone recommend some matte e/s to be used on the brow (creamy/beiegy), a light brown e/s, and a light purple (more pink toned than blue)..

And also any other colours that work well with south-asian (NC30) skin..

Thanks!

 
Do you only want MAC? I don't have a lot of MAC matte shadows, but I have to say that the Urban Decay Matte shadows are very silk and smooth.

 
try some of these,

Bisque, Yogurt for browbone

Bamboo, Saddle for your light brown

Digit(it;s more of a satin) o Quarry for a light purple

those are just my suggestion but u can go to maccosmetics.com and u can look at them by texture!

 
I'm not a fan of matte e/s in general, but the new Matte2 (pronounced MAC squared) e/s are very nice! They have a more "creamy" texture which makes them apply and blend easier. I'm not positive of the names on them though, so I'd have to check to recommend colors.

 
i love fig.1 and espresso

there are more, ill make it a point to look at work tm

 
in addition to what colorlicious recommends (I totally agree!)

try vanilla, or orb for brow bone

soft brown, wedge, kid

for light purple - haux, blackberry

hope this helps.

 
thanks ladies! I like yoghurt, and soft brown looks like just what im looking for!

I may try using both matte and my shimmery e/s together to get most use out of them...i hope that doesnt look too weird or noticeable :S

aplsmash I will have a look at the UD ones actually, cos I do like the softer texture of their e/s overall...from memory matte e/s in general somtimes tend to be a bit chalky..

 
If you do, take a look at Foxy (light brow bone color) and Secret Service (a medium brown color)

hmmm, those are nice choices but Vanilla and orb are not mattes. Vanilla is a velvet =description: Soft pale peachy-ivory flecked with shimmer
Orb is a satin.

Though I use vanilla everyday and I only see a shimmer in the pot, but not when applied. Maybe it can work. It's a great shadow. I just bought my 4th pan of it.
