There is something about matte eyeshadows that I just can’t resist. Although I still like more shimmery eyeshadows, I usually reserve those just for work. I feel like they make me look a bit too done up for school. Mattes are so much more natural and I feel like they suit me a lot more.
This palette is called the Soul Mattes. (How cute is that name?!) We just got it in at work and I instantly fell in love. It’s from Pur Minerals, and lemme tell ya, they have really been stepping up their game lately. I have really been enjoying their makeup in the more recent months. This palette has the perfect eyeshadows in it. It includes eight gorgeous all-matte shades, plus a surprisingly decent brush! The actual palette’s packaging is very nice as well. It’s a hard plastic tin with a good sized mirror and a latch that secures it close.
The quality of the shadows are okay. They could be a bit more buttery, they’re more on the powdery side but they do have good pigmentation. I find that I never like the texture of matte shadows as much as ones with shimmer but these ones are still pretty good! All of the shadows tend to be on the warmer side, they seem to gravitate more towards the warmer brown and pink tones. I really like all the shades, especially ‘Adore’, a pinky taupe and \’Better Half’, a muted raspberry. And for the price tag of $35, I think this palette is definitely worth it!
