I've just decided that I need to stick with matte eyeshadows, but can't find one in a nice bronze shade (I have blue eyes). Anyone know of a nice bronze matte eyeshadow? Thanks in advance!

FluffyBlonde, from my experience "bronze matte eyeshadow" is an oxymoron. Whenever I see "bronze" in the name, it's always been a shimmer or satin, but not matte.

If you want a warm medium brown shadow, there are probably tons of choices both drugstore and high-end.

You are probably right, Suzy. I probably need to refine my search to your naming convention. Thanks so much!

I found a bronze matte-like at Sephora, but sorry I can't remember the line. You wouldn't have liked it anyway - it was very muddy and dull.

MAC Saddle is a golden brown that is matte. It's similar to Bronze, which is a golden-brown, that being "bronze" as they see it.

I found a picture:

Kay Von d and Stila both have awesome ones but they are in palettes (ladybird and in the know, respectively)

Good point-bronze to me always implies shimmer ( i.e. non-matte)

Have you looked at IT trio - Matte luxe? The large IT palette from last year also has some bronzy shades.
