I usually first apply a transition or skin toned color first before applying the colors I want to use.

Use more transitional colors between skintone and darker shades. If that makes sense or what Nikelle said. And also use a clean brush for blending.

Set your primer with a powder. I actually like to use Hourglass Luminous Light of for a bit of shimmer, I'll set it with Mac Soft & Gentle Highlighter.

If your products and tools haven't changed make sure your technique hasn't either. Remember to keep a light amount of pressure when blending. Mattes are also tricky to blend so maybe try using a shade with a sheen or shimmer to it.

Like amanda said apply light presure a transition color helps have you changed eyeshadow quality?

Maybe I've been applying too much pressure and I was using two matte colors. I'll try your suggestions. Thanks ladies!

I agree with what Amanda said. Also try using a third color that's in between the other two colors. Just add a tiny bit of the middle color between the two colors to blend and around the edge of the dark. I don't have costal scents but I do have a bh palette and heard they are similar and it's a little tougher to blend the darker colors easily but very doable. I do think your makeup in the pic looks pretty😍 keep goin girl!!
