13 Matte Eye Shadow Palettes for When You Only Want to Shimmer From Within

Hot take: Matte eye shadow might be one of the most underrated makeup products in your beauty arsenal. Don’t get us wrong—we still love a good shimmer or glitter shadow for a good time, but any makeup artist will tell you that smooth, pigmented matte shades are a prerequisite for looks that rely on bold color and contrast. Plus, it’s nice to change it up every now and then, right?

All that said, if you’ve already collected your fair share of eye palettes, you may have noticed it can be surprisingly tough to find one that’s entirely composed of matte shadows. That’s why we rounded up 12 gorgeous palettes filled with velvety, wearable, and (almost) 100% matte eye shadows so you can create the shine-free eye makeup looks of your dreams. Whether you’re looking for smoky hues, fun brights, or everyday neutrals, your new favorite is in the mix—read on.

Leave it to Victoria Beckham to create the poshest palette around. Not only are the colors predictably fashion-forward, but they’re also formulated with hyaluronic acid, so they go on smooth and silky, not at all chalky.
A number of these ultra-affordable palettes from Maybelline are matte, including this set of easy, everyday neutrals.
​Inspired by the dreamy colors at Joshua Tree National Park, this vivid palette offers brights, neutrals, and everything in between—all matte, of course. Best of all, each shade is formulated with hemp-seed oil, organic coconut oil, and shea butter to nourish skin and help provide a smooth finish.
These richly pigmented shadows punch far above their weight class when it comes to value. At just $10, the 10-shade palette clocks in at, yes, just a dollar per shadow. 
If you want nothing but the hits—that is, neutrals you'll use again and again—look no further. Plus, all the shadows can be applied dry for lighter coverage or wet for a more opaque look.
These 12 neutrals all look fantastic together, but they’re also great as base shades with any other shadows in your collection. 
The colors in this palette are designed to complement a wide range of skin tones, and they’re buildable depending on whether you want a sheer wash of color or a more pigmented look.
The perfect palette for when you just need some basic neutrals on hand. Kidding! For those times you want bright, artistic, can’t-miss eye makeup looks, opt for this electric color range.
The Wonka Bar–size Naked palettes have a time and a place, but this smaller, travel-friendly palette has six trusty matte, neutral shades you’ll be sure to use all the way up.
We guarantee you'll wear these four foolproof shades—including the tawny brown which, yes, admittedly does have a touch of shimmer. 
Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it in this convenient (and not-too-huge) palette. Base shades? Check. Warm tones? Check. Smoky shadows? Check, check, and check. 
All of Charlotte Tilbury’s eye shadow quads contain shades designed to prime, enhance, smoke, and pop, but they’re all equally versatile. 
Jewel tones, pastels, base shades—the gang's all here in this pro-quality palette.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
