Solo Shadow Matte - Matter Creme-Lidschatten

A miss

I loved the cool taupe color but it completely dried out really quickly after just a couple of uses. I also bought the color social and it hasn’t dried out like studio (still usable). I’m a big fan of other merit products but this one is a miss.

No.

Loved this shadow initially. Bought in February and by end of March it’s completely dried out. Worst purchase ever. It’s not cheap. Only used a handful of times. I do not recommend

I honestly don’t think I got the right colour. The order was for Studio, the sticker on the bottom says Studio, but the contents do not look like the right colour. i have a few other Merit Solo Shadows and love them but this was an expensive disappointment.

Has Issues

Wanted to love…but don’t. Color goes on terracotta/orangey. Then, the texture is the biggest issue: it’s is ‘crumby’ and does not go in smoothly. You can see the little spot I try to use but the rest is dry and rough. It’s a hard no for me on repurchasing-esp for $$. (Color:Studio)

Every day wear

Good coverage. Stays all day. Studio is beautiful shade.

Loved

To me this is a one and done color.. not patchy, smooth application, lasts for the day and simply for anyone to apply.

Sad

Im pretty new to venturing into makeup other than mascara and a lippy. I thought this was going to be creamy, spreadable and really blendable. Unfortunately, its dry and patchy and is not a good product. my lid has been tight, I have tried different brushes, my fingers and no matter what I get a splotchy, sad mess of an eyelid. The color is exactly what I was looking for though.

Dried up. Unusable.

I do like the product but the packaging is bad, it doesn’t seal well and the product dries up . I don’t put makeup on everyday so I only was able to use this a hand full of times before it dried up so it was a total waste.

Dries out after two uses. I tried it three times

I love this brand. And I really enjoyed this eyeshadow -color, texture and coverage, especially when applied with the coordinating brush sold separately. However, I have bought it three times and all three times it dried out after about two uses. Then you can put just a little bit of water on the brush and it will work right maybe two more times. And then the product is done. It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful color and applies very well at first doesn’t even need blending. You can swipe on one beautiful color and then you’re done.

Hard pass I fear

I really wanted to love this product. But it’s just so patchy. I tried application using several methods—my finger tips, a dense eyeshadow brush, a fluffy eyeshadow brush, with primer underneath, and without primer underneath. Unfortunately each time yielded a really patchy result. And the only way to get rid of the patchiness was to pile on even more product, and that just left a creasy and heavy mess on my eyelids. It’s also freaking impossible to blend. I’m just not getting it :( I was expecting top notch quality granted the price but unfortunately I do not recommend this product.

Dries out fast

Unfortunately got dry and clumpy very fast. Was good for about 2-3 weeks.

I wouldn’t.

Dry as the Sahara from day one and made my eyelids look and feel like raisin skin.
