I don't know much about makeup, I'm buying my first big palette from coastal scents soon, not sure whether I'm getting shimmer or matte, but people are saying I should get matte because there is shimmer I can buy to put over it. If this isn't something I should use, what should I get?
edit: oops, sorry i answered your Q incorrectly, i would buy some MAC eye shimmer. i have some i put over my eyeshadows.

How to do Sultry Smoky Eyes
They say there is nothing sexier than a pair of sultry smoky
eyes, smoky eyes done so right that can cause a man to stop in
his tracks. But - do you know how to create a perfect set of
smoky eyes? What you need to get started: Eye Primer Loose
powder Dark Eyeshadow Medium - grey eyeshadow Black Mascara
Magic Lash Now the idea is to be able have smoky eyes yet not
look so much like you forgot to take your eye makeup off last
night. Even though, that has been known as a turn on for a quite
lot of men, makes them wonder what you been up. To start
creating the Look you must have a base for it. This helps to
keep the color in one place. Smooth on a eyeshadow primer, some
say foundation is good to use as long as its color doesn't take
away from what you are trying to achieve. Now pat on loose
powder setting the base. The real secret to the smoky look is in
the color eyeshadow you use. Tips: If your eyes are blue and
you're blond, then go for greens instead, the darker the better.
If your eyes are green then go for blues again the darkest
shades of blues you like. If your eyes are brown then you're
just lucky with your choices of colors. Now purple eyeshadow is
a color that everyone can try. Just try it in Plum, Berry and
others like those.
Rim your eyes with a black or grey pencil drawing a line along
both upper and lower lash line. Starting from inner corner of
your eyes going outward starting a fine line going into a
heavier line as you draw outwards the outer corner. If black or
grey seems too harsh for your the Look you're going for, then
try either dark brown, plum or taupe instead.
Apply a medium - grey eyeshadow all over your lids, stopping at
the crease. Apply your dark eyeshadow into the crease, then take
a angled brush and apply the dark eyeshadow onto the eyeliner
and then smudge it well with a cotton swab keeping as much of
the color at the outer corner of your eyes. The angled brush is
great for getting eyeshadow up under your lashes on the bottom
which in turn helps keep your eyeliner in place. Its the
smudging that got to be done carefully. The idea is to blend the
eyeshadow and eyeliner together. If you wanted a more "feline"
aka cat eyes then using a liquid eyeliner would be best. Helping
to contrast the darkness of your eyeshadow, sweep a pearlized
ivory eye shadow over your brow bones for a wide-eyed look. By
applying a little at a time, you are building up the effort
gradually till you like what you see. Finishing off the look
with one coat of black mascara, one coat of Magic Lash if you
want super long eyelashes to go along with this Look, then one
more coat of black mascara.
Dark colors trend to make small eyes look even smaller, you can
open them up by lining the rims from the inner to the center
with a light-colored pencil, rather than dark pencil, pat on
pale eyeshadow on the center of each lid. That should cause the
small eyes to seem bigger.
For the rest of this ideal Look. Finish off by using a tawny
blusher or a bronzing powder. Its natural color won't complete
with the rest of your makeup. Sweep it over your cheekbone,
blending away to the edges into your hairline. Keeping your lips
neutral gives this Look its real impact. Go for a pinkish -
beige shade of lip pencil and smudge it over your entire mouth
for a matte, just been kissed yet understated effect. Now your
eyes are ready for whatever you might have planned. This Look
can be toned down for work but who would want to?
