You have a lovely Pat McGrath collection! I am very pale with cool toned skin and also have hooded eyes. I purchased the Natasha Denona I need a Nude pallette and love it! Several thoughts that came to mind while watching your video regarding your dilemma with transition shades (I’m not an MUA just an enthusiast). 1). I find some of PMcG mattes can easily sheer out depending on brush hair used. I like to use extremely light touch with a variety of different squirrel hairs. 2) sometimes I like to mix mattes to attain the desired transition shade. For example taking a cream shade and mixing with a darker shade to get the tone I am seeking. 3) perhaps rather than looking at a whole pallette consider looking at some singles? If you have access to say a MAC counter? Their SA’s could possibly give you some great guidance as to what should work. The Viseart cool mattes is a good suggestion as Viseart mattes do mix well. Both Dior and Channel have recently released reformulated singles and both might have the type of pigmentation level you are seeking? Another option might be to look at Asian eyeshadows as they generally aren’t as pigmented as western shadows. Best of luck!

🩺 I wonder if you might like either Viseart Cool Mattes 2 or Sydney Grace mattes. Those are some of my fav formulas outside of Pat or Natasha. I think I'm leaning more towards Sydney Grace because you can get 1 or 2 shades for a reasonable price, and they have a large selection of shades to choose from. I don't have any specific shades because that's not my personal preference/flattering on my skintone, but there are a lot of videos with ppl who do like cooler shades. I hope you find what you're looking for.
