I'd like to know how can I use matte e/s,I got the Tarte Treasure chest and it has a lot of matte e/s but I don't know how to use them,please I need help.
-using a good base helps the shadow stick a lot better
-pat to pack on the eyeshadow
-use mattes to mix up textures (like matte on lids and a shimmery brow highlight/inner corner highlight, or use mattes to emphasize and contour eyes in the crease/outer corner)
-practice blending. if you're used to using shimmery shades, you may find mattes harder to work with. you just have to learn the technique!
I find that if you want to blend vibrant matte colors and keep the color payoff as vibrant, do not use a blending brush and instead keep overlapping the colors with a flat brush until there is a blended, gradient effect. When I would blend my mattes with a fluffy brush, the color would fade and lose it's brightness. idk

I used Too Faced Shadow Insurance as a primer and a NYX jumbo pencil, usually Milk, as my base. Don't use too much jumbo pencil or it'll crease--just sweep it on your lid a few times, then blend it out.
I'm glad I checked this thread out! I actually tend to stray away from mattes because I can't make them look good. I think I'll try out some of the tips you wonderful people have given.
