Different Eyeshadow Types
Here's a big secret eyeshadow secret that to my great surprise, most women are not aware. There are four major different eyeshadow types - frosted, matte, satin, and shimmer, and each one has their own purpose.
When most women shop for powdered eyeshadow, they simply look at the color. If it is a color they like, they buy it without giving thought to the eyeshadow's sheen. Although the color is beautiful, the sheen may be all wrong, and when the sheen is wrong, this makeup can work against, a woman.
Different Eyeshadow Types
Frosted Eyeshadow
Frosted eyeshadow has an opaque finish with a white or silver sparkle. Pastels are popular frosted eyeshadow colors for women with younger skin, because they brighten the eyes.
If you have fine lines or wrinkles, frosted colors may not be right for you; they have a tendency to magnify them. Shimmer, matte, or satin eyeshadow are your better alternatives.
Matte Eyeshadow
For creating a natural look, consider using mid-tone matte shades. Matte eyeshadow has a higher concentration of color and is an excellent choice for shaping and defining the eyes.
Matte eyeshadow are more suited for mature skin.
Satin Eyeshadow
If you prefer an eyeshadow that has a little more sparkle than a matte, but less sparkle than a shimmer, then choose satin eyeshadow. Satin eyeshadow can be used on both youthful and more mature skin.
Shimmer Eyeshadow
For sheer coverage, with a hint of sparkle, shimmer eyeshadow is the answer. Many glamorous colors are available and can be worn by women of all ages. Light shimmery colors are often used to highlight the eye area.
If fine lines and wrinkles are a concern, shimmery eyeshadow will not settle into your fine lines IF it's not over applied.

Four simple rules to remember when wearing different eyeshadow types:
- What looks beautiful on women with more mature skin may not be flattering for women with younger skin.
- Women with more mature skin should shy away from frosted eyeshadow.
- Women with younger skin should shy away from matte eyeshadow.
- Satin and shimmer eyeshadow are suited for both younger and more mature-skin women.
