This is tough. I like matte and shimmer pretty equally. What I don’t really like is sparkle eye shadow. The sparkles get everywhere and are hard to remove. Plus, they look so…high school. Trisha´s last [type] ..Braaaains- A Makeup Tutorial Inspired by Zombies
Trisha, I love shimmer mattes are very pretty too. They do different things and are perfect for different occasions. I don’t mind sparkle eyeshadows as long as they aren’t too big..
I use to love frost finishes before I started to really get into makeup. Now I love mattes and satins! Dee´s last [type] ..Missha Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Cream
Dee, I used to love frosts too but I find them a bit too much these days (of course it also depends on how frosty a shade is). But satins are very pretty.
I love all finishes, honestly. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. I usually reach for shimmer finishes, though. Tammy´s last [type] ..Tatcha Aburatorigami Japanese Blotting Papers
Tammy, I agree with you, all finishes have their pros and cons. But like you, I also reach mostly for shimmer finishes. I love everything shimmery and they are easier to work with.
I don’t have a favourite, but I use mostly frost eyeshadows. I hate eyeshadows with big, chunky glitters in, they may look pretty in the pan but once applied glitters fall out on face and that’s not pretty. La Bisbetica´s last [type] ..Acquisti del giorno- Smalti Nfu-Oh dall’Estonia!

I love shimmery shadows, sometimes, frosty or satin. Actually I choose my shadows mostly based on the colours I like more than the finish.

Vonvon, I choose my eyeshadow based on colors mainly too but I think the satin and shimmery are the prettiest.

Vonnie, I love how mattes define the eyes and they are perfect for the daytime.
i love shimmer eye shadows! mainly because they are easier to work with and the mistakes are less obvious ^_^
Xin, I agree with you. I find shimmers a lot easier to work with than mattes for instances, although I love all finshes.

La Bisbetica, I don’t like glittery eyeshadows either, they’re just messy. And when they glitters are huge they don’t look that pretty on the eyes.
