- Matte eyeshadow palettes can be great all-in-one basics for everyday looks or as supplements to a more colorful makeup collection.
- The Tarte Tartelette Amazonian Clay Matte Eyeshadow Palette is our top pick because it contains 12 neutral shades to help you create easy, subtle looks.
I love shimmery, glittery, over-the-top glittery shadow as much as the next person, but sometimes you just want a matte look.
You can use matte shadows as your go-to for everyday looks or use them to ground more adventurous ones. Whenever I'm using a palette that leans more heavily on bold metallic, glitter, or satin shadows, I reach for an all-matte set to round things out as transition or accent colors in a range of browns, blacks, and creams.
Matte shadows are sometimes harder to work with, so I'm always on the lookout for buttery formulas that blend easily. I'd recommend pairing any eyeshadow formula with a primer to help with pigmentation and longevity.
The palettes on this list come highly rated by experts and shoppers alike. Though their color ranges vary, they have one thing in common - they feature only matte shadows and will fit seamlessly into your collection.
