Matte shadows are becoming more and more popular in the
drugstore makeup world; Wet N Wild is releasing new trios and eight-pans
with mattes, and recently released "Poster Child", an all matte color
pallet.
Around November last year, I was on the hunt for an all
matte neutral pallet. I originally wanted the Meet Matt(e) pallet from
The Balm, however that was out of my price range at $42. I really just
didn't feel like I could justify spending that much on a 9 pan eyeshadow
pallet, kind of like how I can't justify a Naked Pallet, even though
I've been dying for Naked 3. BUT, I still wanted a good matte pallet. I
had heard a lot about some of the smaller single shadows from Wet 'n'
Wild and and the matte quads from Physicians Formula, yet none of them
were similar enough to what I was looking for.
I discovered the whole Sonia Kashuk line when I was looking
around on the internet for dupes of the pallet. I have yet to find out
if this is /really/ a dupe for Meet Matt(e), but I love it either way.
One of my favorite things about the Sonia Kashuk Eye
On Neutral Matte pallet is that it has 12 different colors, all be it a
bit smaller than the pans in Meet Matt(e), but it gives more variety.
The colors are in the same ranges as the pallet from The Balm, but there
are more browns as well as grays and even an awesome Matte black.
As for pigmentation, these are very nicely pigmented but
the texture can feel a bit chalky, similar to some other matte shadows
that are out (especially like Poster Child). The other main difference
is the price point. While The Balm's Meet Matt(e) goes for $42, Sonia
Kashuk's Eye On Neutral Matte pallet is $20 at Target. So it may not be
the cheapest, but I definitely think it is worth it. Another neat thing
to point out is that both companies are cruelty free.
Well, that's all for today. I hope this information helped you out!
