There are matte and shimmer shadows. The give great color. The red and blacks are bold and the purple/grey, vanilla and tan colors were soft and pretty. It was a perfect combination.
I actually wore the red shadow the other day. I used it in the crease of my eye. I didn't know what to expect. I was very surprised with how much I liked it. It was a bold pop of color but wasn't 'clown' looking at all. I felt it even brought out my blue eyes more. The black matte is an excellent accent color. It goes on smooth with great coor ad doesn't flake when you apply it.
