Brand note
Makeup by Mario is a brand built around neutral, user-friendly eyeshadow formulas that lean matte and perform reliably for daily wear. The Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals is its clearest anchor — a versatile, all-matte palette that blends easily and suits a range of skin tones, though the pans can be fragile. The cream shadows offer serious longevity and a diffused finish, but the matte formula can feel drying on eyelids, especially for those with dry skin or flakiness.
