And, here I am, begging for a matte neutral grey/tan a la Buff Please and thank you.

I'd be into mattes, but also vivid mattes.

Oooh vivid mattes! Nice... Especially when it seems that the new colors this season are vivid colors. Yellows. Purples. Nice.

I'd LOVE more matte shadows too! Shimmers show my crinkley eyelids!

Same here!!!! I have started noticing that my lids aren't quite as smooth as they once were and this is definitely made much more obvious by more shimmery shades, even with a primer underneath.....makes me look, um, a bit trashy somehow. I still looooove beautiful pearly shadows as a subtle highlight on my browbone but I think that for the 'older lady' (he he, I'm only 35 so maybe I should say for ladies over 20!!!!!) something slightly more subtle would perhaps be more flattering on occassion.

I agree with Cupcake - flat out mattes can be a bit dusty & sometimes hard to blend, but I'm sure with Karen's formulations that won't be a problem.

Colour-wise, I am feeling summery so plenty of pastel or paler mattes for me please!!! Oooh and a nice deep slate grey (I've got a wedding to go to soon and it would be lovely with my dress).

You know - something with about the same amount of sheen as Pixie, but a little more sheer would be just about perfect. I have a hard time wearing flat mattes too unless they're very very light. But Pixie's almost perfect in the matte-to-sheen ratio, though if it was a little more sheer, it'd be perfect (yes, I still wear it a lot anyway!). And Boom is seriously under-rated as a highlight colour.

Other than that, really whispy eye shadow brushes are my salvation. I can wear a lot of the metallics like Bare and Plush okay, but there's something about the regular shimmery shades that does make them difficult for us auld farts unless you're using a really really whispy brush and a very light hand. I do, but it's nice to have a few go-tos for a simple two-colour eye, too.

I like Boom a lot, too!

I like matte shades as well. No sparkly fallover on the cheeks!
