All six shades are delightfully matte, which is how I personally prefer my contouring and highlight shades. There is a good variation of colors for both warm and cool skin tones so this is a great palette for makeup artists and serious makeup enthusiasts.
The powders are nice, smooth, creamy, and silky but not overly pigmented which makes them easy to work with.
