This was my first eye shadow quad from Charlotte Tilbury, I got it for my birthday a year and a half ago, and it is still a favorite.
It's definitely one of my most loved palettes of hers.
I have used this heaps of times and I haven't hit pan yet!
This palette features a matte ivory, matte light brown/camel shade, matte mushroom grey and a dark brown that has the tiniest amount of micro shimmer in- very hard to see and I reckon it's just there to aid blend-ability.
I do class this as entirely matte.
I use the first two shades all the time, I take the ivory all over the lid and then take the camel through the outer corners and blend into the crease and on the lower lashline.
Even when I go the full whack as Charlotte suggests, you end up with this gorgeous matte chocolate smokey eye.
This palette is very aptly named- it is Sophisticated.
The shadows are very smooth, pigmented and blendable, which is incredible hard to find in a matte.

I do own a lot of eye shadows- it's not really something that I finish often, but I hand on heart feel, that if I ever finish this palette, I would repurchase.
It's timeless.
Also if you are slightly more mature and you often get fed up that almost all eye shadow palettes are very shimmery and that's something you don't feel confident wearing and hence would end up wasting your money on shades you'll never use- look into this.
Bottom Line : My favorite matte formulation thus far. Long wearing, creamy and easy to use shadows in a compact where I use every single shade. Not one colour remains untouched.
Worth every penny.
