Solo Shadow Matte - Matter Creme-Lidschatten

Color (photo and description) is misleading

Very disappointed. I was really looking forward to the color SOCIAL — described as a soft mauve. The swatches looked gorgeous and exactly like what I’d been searching high and low for. When I opened the pot I was shocked and double checked I received the correct color, and that it was not swapped with Studio (another improperly named shade. It says it’s a taupe but is a warm terracotta) this feels deceptive how grossly different the color is even from the label itself on the products packaging!

Dry dry dry DONT BUY

Don’t know this product. A container, dries and hardens superfast. It is also very hard to remove from the eyelid, using even the best products. 

Awful. Dry up. Crumble. Terrible.

I’m done with Merit. These eye shadows dry and crumble and then say that we didn’t close tightly. If you look at the expiration date, it’s THREE MONTHS. That their excuse for why these are crap. Ignore the reviews from people who got these free or got paid for a review.

Waste of Money

Was so excited for this. Perfect color, beautiful texture, easily blends…. dries out and becomes unusable in no time at all. Save your money. You are essentially paying for a one time use product. Crazy.

Expensive but lovely hopefully will last ages!

Waited for Social to come into stock for ages! After being influenced its a lovely soft purple mauve shade easy to blend made sure i clicked shut so hopefully wont dry out like other have experienced.

A miss

I loved the cool taupe color but it completely dried out really quickly after just a couple of uses. I also bought the color social and it hasn’t dried out like studio (still usable). I’m a big fan of other merit products but this one is a miss.

No.

Loved this shadow initially. Bought in February and by end of March it’s completely dried out. Worst purchase ever. It’s not cheap. Only used a handful of times. I do not recommend

I honestly don’t think I got the right colour. The order was for Studio, the sticker on the bottom says Studio, but the contents do not look like the right colour. i have a few other Merit Solo Shadows and love them but this was an expensive disappointment.

Has Issues

Wanted to love…but don’t. Color goes on terracotta/orangey. Then, the texture is the biggest issue: it’s is ‘crumby’ and does not go in smoothly. You can see the little spot I try to use but the rest is dry and rough. It’s a hard no for me on repurchasing-esp for $$. (Color:Studio)

Every day wear

Good coverage. Stays all day. Studio is beautiful shade.

Loved

To me this is a one and done color.. not patchy, smooth application, lasts for the day and simply for anyone to apply.

Sad

Im pretty new to venturing into makeup other than mascara and a lippy. I thought this was going to be creamy, spreadable and really blendable. Unfortunately, its dry and patchy and is not a good product. my lid has been tight, I have tried different brushes, my fingers and no matter what I get a splotchy, sad mess of an eyelid. The color is exactly what I was looking for though.
