There are a few different finishes that a shadow can have. These include:
Sheer: This type of shadow comes in a pressed powder form, and will appear sheer on the lid. It will add just a hint of the color but will not be bold.
Matte: This type of shadow has no shimmer, sparkle, or metallic in it. It is just the plain color.
Shimmer: This type of shadow is a color that also has shimmer, sparkle or metallic in it.
There are also many different kinds of shadow that can give you once of those three finishes. They include:
MAC
Powder: The most common type of shadow used, powder shadow comes pressed in a pan or pallet and stays firm in the pan until a finger or brush is used to pick up some of the powder.
Nars
Cream- A creamy substance, the color may be matte or shimmery. Cream eye shadow is commonly used as a base for powder or loose eye shadow.
Hard Candy Baked Shadow
Baked shadow- baked shadow is also pressed like a powder shadow, but it’s marbleized and baked in an oven. It can be used either dry or wet, and can sometimes have more than one color swirled in it.
Liquid- This type of shadow can also be matte or shimmery. Packaged in small tubes, this liquid color is applied with a sponge and dries quickly on the skin.
Pigment/Loose powder-. Instead of being pressed, they are a loose powder and it is highly pigmented. They are applied with a shadow brush just like a pressed powder.
NYX jumbo eye pencils
Pencils- Pencil eye shadows are a newer shadow. They are normally a cream type shadow that comes in the form of a pencil. These are normally used for the same thing as the cream shadow; as a base for powder or loose eye shadow.
