Looking for Answers about bareMinerals READY Eyeshadow 8.0 - The Star Treatment with bonus mini Prime Time Eyelid Primer?

None of the shadows in this palette are completely matte. The black shadow, "VIP" only has a very tiny amount of gold flecks and "Carte Blanche" is just slightly shimmery. All the rest have quite a bit of shimmer. They are pretty colors but probably more shimmer and sparkle than you want :-) See the attached picture of swatches I did on my skin. Hope that helps!

im not very savy when it comes to make up terms but theese shadows have a shimmer to them not all of them though just the lighter ones the cream and the white i used the brown and it wasnt hope that was helpful

This particular set- The StarTreatment is all pearlized!!! Do not buy this particular palette if you are looking for less shimmer. Not one highlight or crease color is matte. I would suggest looking at them in person at a B.E., Ulta, or Sephora first.

I'm 27 (sorry I'm not the age group you were looking for) but I look older than my age and battle with dark circles and have a 3 year old. Plus I used to have a work schedule that would start at 4:30am, so I can understand a little bit about not wanting anything too gaudy or outrageous on the eyes. I like Matte too. It blends well and shows subtly which I like. There USED to be a link that was a color wheel on the BE website that showed which loose mineral eye colors are Matte, which are Solid and which are Shimmer I think. I can't seem to find it, but if you ever want a different look or try something out, here is a link for Tips and Advice: http://www.bareescentuals.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BareEscentuals-Site/default/Experience-Show?cgid=BE_SUB_TIPSANDADVICE

This might help you out. I usually go by the instructions inside of a 2.0, 4.0 or 8.0 READY eye color palette set or I do my favorite color blocking to show the contrast and gradients between colors. I'm really able to show that off with the 2.0 palette. Not sure? Check a local place that sells the makeup such as a dept. store or boutique and see what colors work for you. I have found that a MAJORITY of READY eye colors are Matte so you may want to try it out. Go for the duos since it's just a couple colors before stepping it up to the 4.0 and 8.0 sets.

This would be a great palette for all eyeshadow levels....beginner to pro. Because most of the colors are shimmery, they are really easy to blend. The only color I found to be a bit difficult to put into a "look" was "Connoisseur". Otherwise the rest work pretty well together. The black shadow, "VIP" is a great one to smudge along the lash line for your liner, making lining your eyes pretty goof proof too :-) Attached are a couple of looks I did with this palette. I've listed the eyeshadow names in the caption below each picture. Hope this is helpful!
