The Balm Meet Matt(e) Nude Eyeshadow Palette Looks

Back in February I got a bunch of palettes on sale at Hautelook.com. One of the palettes I got was The Balm Meet Matt(e) Nude. I was excited to get some matte eyeshadows in my makeup collection. I heard good things about this palette. It originally costs $34, but I got it for $21 which is a pretty good deal. I'm addicted to Hautelook.com now. I'm constantly checking to see what's on their website because it always changes, and things get sold out pretty quickly. Don't worry, I'm not affiliated with them. I just really like the website. I've been talking about them a lot lately because I got so many things I want to share on the blog.

This palette has neutral, matte shadows. It's funny because there is another Matt(e) eyeshadow palette, but the shadows are smaller and "Matt" is dressed on the cover of the palette. In my palette his shirt is off, and it says "Size matters." So the actual eyeshadow is bigger than the first palette. This brand is so cheeky, I love it. Also, each eye shadow is named after someone named Matt.

I didn't find very many looks on Youtube with this palette, but I've been using it all the time to copy looks. I really like the shade Matt Abdul because it is the only matte taupe I have. I want to share with you the looks I've found that I like.

Here are some pictures of the palette and swatches:

This is a picture of a sample matte eye shadow from The Meet Matt(e) Palette, where Matt has his clothes on. I think I got this from a Birchbox.

My Thoughts: This girl is so pretty! She does a good review. She doesn't say what is on her lips. They look like nothing is on them. I used brown liner and my normal mascara routine. I put liner on the top and bottom lash lines and smudged it out with my Elf Smudger Brush. For lip gloss I used Revlon Colorstay in Peony, on of my favorites. This look was easiest out of all of them. I like it the best.
