Now that we are falling into fall and then soon winter, do you ladies tend to stay away from shimmer and stick to matte or vise versa?

I like matte over shimmer for certain looks; however I switch it up all the time

I like both. Shade and tone are much more relevant for me. I love a good shimmery bronze smoky eye for fall ;)

AWW :) Thankss so much nahomi !
Am I the only one who feels as though when I'm wearing too many shimmery shadows my eye makeup looks sloppy...
does that happen to any of you?

Both! I love deep shimmery jewel tones in fall.
I agree about wearing too much at once. I'll usually only wear one shimmery shadow at a time, and the rest of them will be matte.

Mix it up :)

Shimmer is always pretty on anyone but I like my color to have super high impact so I tend to go for mattes :D but add in a bit of shimmer for a highlight along the tear duct and browbone! it always adds a nice touch xx

day-matte
night-shimmer

I usually do a lot more matte colors but I think metallics are also essential for the fall such as gold, bronze, and copper.

for me personally, shimmery eyeshadows really stand out and bring out my eyes... but i love and would go with either :)

Generally, I prefer matte in the cooler months.

I'm going to be a bit opposite here and would actually say I probably prefer shimmer in the fall, and matte in the summer! :O In the summer I think matte looks more natural and I don't want to put anymore shine on my face. During the colder months I think shimmer adds a little radiance back.
