TheBalm Meet Matt(e) eyeshadow palette review and swatches.

I love matte colours, that head over heels, can't live without it love!
Although I love shimmers,glitters and gloss as well, my love for matte is a notch up.
And I think I have found my soulmate, Matt(e)
So here he is, all of you can now too, Meet Matt(e)!


He isn't gorgeous just from the outside, but from the inside too!


Meet Matt(e) is a beautiful little palette from TheBalm which has one of the most gorgeous matte shades of all time.

Let's talk about the packaging, the palette comes in a cover which looks exactly like the packaging so if you thought I had two palettes in the above photo, you're mistaken, it was just the outer covering!
Once you take off the covering, there is a snap open palette, complete with a mirror and dual ended brush!






All the ingredients and shades are mentioned on the back of the palette:






Let's talk about the shades now!

The shades are as follows:
Matt Smith (A skin tone nude colour)
Matt Gallagher ( A little deeper, greyish-brown)
Matt Ramirez (Deep brown)
Matt McDonald (Royal blue)
Matt Horowitz (Ultramarine Blue)
Matt Chung ( A baby pink with yellow undertones)
Matt Batali (Plum)
Matt Schilling ( Bluish-green)
Matt Patel (A medium brown)
 And here are the swatches:


The right most shade is Matt Smith and left most shade is Matt Patel, so that is the order!

All swatches are just two swipes without any primer or base.

The colours are extremely pigmented and smooth in texture, butter smooth to say the least! *woohoo*

The colour selection is gorgeous and ranges from the best nudes to the most colourful!

The brush is basically of no use, I don't like the bristles, they are a little too harsh for my eye. *sad face*
