I love seeing your FOTDs! The first one is just stunning-looks gorgeous on you! About the blending thing-I don't own any Matte2 shadows but I recently started using a really natural looking crease shadow before any of my other eye shadows (I use UD's Naked matte shadow because it's really close to my natural skintone-the order is UDPP, Paint Pot, then Naked in the crease, then I do the rest of my eye) and it makes the rest of my powder shadows soooo much easier to blend. HTH!! And congrats on the wedding! Woo!
