Ok say you're going on a first date...

and dont want to look like you're wearing too much makeup but you still want to look nice. I was thinking brown matte's and my friend who is much fairer uses Brule and Wedge in the crease. But would these same colours dissapear on me if I am darker? I am NC40-NC42. What would be an equivalent matt neutral for darker skin? blush I would use prism or harmony

Ricepaper, Shroom, Espresso, Phloof, Era, Woodwinked, Warming Trend, Naked Lunch, Ochre Style, All That Glitters, Time & Space, Cork, Mulch, etc.
And those are just a FEW. I believe more than 1/3 of MAC's colors are neutral, so you will definitely find something you can work with. Many of those I named aren't matte like you asked for, but they still make good everyday eyes, that are not over the top. Also, a small tipp: If I were you, I would not choose matte colors for a date. I would choose colors that have just a bit of shimmer to add a little spice to your eyes and use a matte highlighter for the browbone. Hope this helped. :]

Handwritten is a great darker brown that blends easily.

Today I wore Brule with Espresso on the crease and Blacktrack Fluidline. I just curled my lashes and I was good to go!

Didn't bother to put any mascara anymore since I was just going out with my mother

Would Brule be too white on NC42?

I agree with having shimmer usually but it's during the day in a park, like a picnic and I dont want to look like I have shimmer eyeshadow on if that makes sense??
