The Sephora Mattes

I love the mattes; I am quite vocal about it. Drugstore brands have sparkle in everything, though, except for one short time when Revlon had a matte collection. Even pricier brands will claim to be matte, and yet there is a veneer of sheen.

Sephora has their own collection of makeup, and while I was initially wary of cosmetics made up for the store brand, I have so far been a happy with a number of their products. 

To spread the word of the divinity that is matte, I present the colors of Sephora, albeit only the shades that I think are flattering:

Sephora Collection Colorful Eyeshadow 

(Purples, pinks, reds, and maroons did not make the cut):

N° 20, Sailor Kiss: Dark Blue

N° 50, Cashmere Coat: Mastic (taupe, I guess?) 

N° 52, 5th Avenue: Dark Gray (I only own grays!)

N° 54, Black Lace: Black (I use this to set my eyeliner or to smudge the line)

N° 59, Berlin Underground: Gray (a perfect lid color while the darker 5th Avenue goes in the crease) 

N° 64, Let It Snow: White (by applying a white base to lids before color, any shadow then applied on top really pops, and the eye area is brightened) 

N° 65, Lazy Afternoon: White Beige (highlight hue for the very fair-skinned) 

N° 73, Secret Boudoir: Pale Beige (hilighlight hue for light-skinned)

N° 75, Sandcastle: Warm Beige (highlight for darker skin tones, or lid color for brown eyeshadow)

N° 85, Coffee Break: Milk Chocolate 

N° 88, Morning Mocha: Dark Chocolate

Sephora Collection Colorful Blush:

Sunbaked 05: Toasted Rose (looks like orange-pink to me)
Rose Petal 08: Medium Pink  (lightest of the bunch, most universal)

Healthy Rose 09: Warm Rose  (darker version of 05)
Romantic Rose 10: Cool Rosey Pink (nice pink for darker skin tones)
Rose Pop 18: Fresh Pink (leaning towards fuchsia) 

Sephora Collection Bronzer: 

3 Los Cabos: Universal Tan

5 Bora Bora: Sienna (only slightly darker than Los Cabos)
