The 11 Types of Eyeshadow Explained

1. Pressed powder — the most common type, easy to blend and build.
2. Matte — no shine; ideal for the crease, transition shades and defining.
3. Shimmer — fine reflective particles that catch the light on the lid.
4. Satin — a soft sheen between matte and shimmer.
5. Metallic — high-shine, foil-like finish for a statement lid.
6. Glitter — larger sparkle, best pressed on with a finger or flat brush.
7. Cream — smooth and blendable; good as a base or for a quick wash of colour.
8. Liquid — dries down quickly and is often long-wearing.
9. Stick and pencil — easy to apply on the go and simple to smudge.
10. Loose pigment — very intense colour that needs a base to stick to.
11. Duochrome — shifts colour depending on the angle of the light.

How to Combine Different Types

• Use a matte shade in the crease and a shimmer or metallic on the centre of the lid.
• Apply cream shadow as a base, then set it with a powder shadow in a similar colour for extra staying power.
• Add glitter last, pressing it onto the lid rather than sweeping.

Our Glossy Glam Eyeshadow Palette, Levinna and Blitz palettes are a good starting point for mixing finishes.
