What the gurus are saying

The gurus who tested it praise the blendability above all else, saying the shadows blend out smoothly and make application feel effortless, even for those in a rush. The neutral-leaning cool tone palette appeals to people who don't flatter in warm tones, and experts note it offers enough pale and midtone shades for crease work plus darker tones for definition without going heavy-handed too quickly. Those who want maximum intensity may want to layer it with eyeshadow toppers, but for an everyday staple, the gurus say it's hard to miss.

Top Pick: matte eyeshadow palette
All 5 takes from Allie Glines
The Makeup I'm Wearing ALL SPRING 😍🌸
"The new Mario palette, I'm telling you it is so good. It's way better than the first palette. This is the Master Mattes Neutrals palette from Makeup by Mario and I can't put it down. I think it's truly way better than the first one. This second color on the top row is just slightly deeper than my natural skin tone so it's going to add like a really subtle shading around my eye. Since this is a color that's pretty close to my skin tone, I feel like it just looks very natural and it's so easy. If I was in a rush in the morning I wouldn't have to worry about blending it perfectly because it just looks good all over the lid, just kind of like quickly pressed on. I have a favorite color in the palette too."
The Makeup I'm Thankful For This Year 🥹
"I have so many eyeshadow palettes that I love but I got to tell you this one really does something to me and I don't know how I ever lived without it. This is the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Neutrals. He launched the original Master Mattes which are more warm, but because I am more neutral toned, this flatters me more and I just wear it more. So I love it. I feel like there's a shade in here that I use every time I use this palette."

"This is something that I feel like everyone would love. I personally love it. The first palette is great too if you like more warm tones where you feel like warm tones flatter you more but this palette is more neutral leaning cool which is what I feel like flatters me. This is what I've got all over the eyes today. I'm wearing the gray mostly on the eyes which I think is really nice. This is such a fabulous staple product. You can pair this with eyeshadow toppers if you want more pizzazz in your eye look but having a full mattes palette is really great and this one is my favorite, it's so nice."

"This is the Master Mattes Neutrals Palette by Makeup by Mario, and this is honestly the only eyeshadow palette you would really ever need. It has all those neutral shades in here, they're all matte shades as well, and it doesn't matter what color your eyes are, anybody can use and wear these shades. You can create so many different smokey eye looks. A lot of the times I will use these darker shades for my liner and I will use them as that winged out look so that they look a little bit more softer. I do like eyeliner pencils and whatnot, but if you want more of that softer look, start using some of your darker shadows and start creating your winged out look that way. It just looks more softer and a little bit more natural in my opinion. But I love this palette. I've been using it a lot. This has literally been my go-to."

"I'm going to grab the Master Mattes the Neutrals palette from Makeup by Mario and I'm going to go in with MN5. This color is really nice because it very much emulates the colors that I've already used on my face, my contour and bronzer color."

"I was using the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Neutrals Palette. I'm going to pick up this shade right here, this nice taupey kind of color on my e54 brush, and I'm going to cover my entire lid with this shade. This is to prevent any weird disconnect when I look down, it's going to help define the eye."

"The first Mario palette I bought was the Master Mattes Neutrals, and I am a complete convert to the Mario eyeshadows. They are some of the best eyeshadows I've ever used as far as the blendability. You cannot make a mistake with these eyeshadows; they blend out so beautifully. This is like my everyday go-to palette, the one I reach for, and it has just such a nice variety of colors but it doesn't go too dark too fast. That's my age-old problem with palettes, they just get too dark too fast. This one has so many shades that are really wearable, so your eyeshadow won't come out looking too heavy-handed, too overdone, too theatrical. The everyday palette would definitely be worth the money because you will reach for this every day and it will up your eyeshadow game exponentially in the blend and everything. This is the one I would recommend for the vast majority of people."

"I'm using the new Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Neutrals palette. You're going to love it. This is such a great essential palette. It's not overly warm, it's not warm at all. It's a nice neutral leaning cool. I mean, you can see it's like a beautiful palette filled with neutrals. These are all great tones."

"As a matte palette this is perfection. These are the best blending eyeshadows I think I have ever used. You get such a beautiful blend with these. Just using this palette I feel like my eyeshadow skills are so much better, and they're really the same but it's this eyeshadow that makes me look like a pro makeup artist with my blending. The shades are gorgeous. There are enough pale midtone mats to do your crease, there's enough darker tones to smoke it out. It just gives you such a variety of warms and cools. There's even a true gray and a true black. It's really a special palette, and if you don't have this already I would highly recommend picking this up."
