The combination of shades stands out as it differs to the usual light and airy, more pastel shades we expect from Spring collections.
The shades feel smooth and are a welcomed improvement in quality compared to the baked quad that we normally receive (I'm so glad we are getting an improved eyeshadow quad formula in March) as they are not dry nor powdery and though not opaque in pigment, have significantly better colour payoff.
The pink/coral was always going to be tricky for me to pull off and I do apply it sparingly and blended with the other shades.
I really like the finished look, the warmth and pop of the coral/pink give it an interesting twist and though not necessarily shades I would choose individually, they work really well together (and also compliment the two Illusion d'Ombres from the collection).
I bought this from Boots.
That is a really pretty quad! Love the warm tones and especially for blue eyes :) It's now on my list! x S.
ReplyDeleteThe warmth of it works really well, which surprised me as I don't tend to fare well with warm shades, I think its very list worthy ;)
Deletelove the colors and swatches from the quad. also love how you put them together in your eye makeup look. I think your eye look really warm and romantic at the same time
ReplyDeleteThank you, the colours do have that sort of dusty.romantic edge to them, I was surprised by how much I like this really :)
DeleteI was a bit surprised to see this pop up on my blog roll under your name, because of the warmth :D But it's truly lovely on you, tones and textures. I really like your placement too -- for some reason I'm also finding pinks in the crease incredibly flattering / right for right now.
ReplyDeleteThere not my normal colours are they I do like to occasionally step outside my comfort zone :) I've bought a lot more from the collection than I was intending to really, the duo really doesn't work for me though, I'll have to post about that soon x
DeleteOooh I like the colors together, it's very soft and warm.
ReplyDeleteThey do work really well together, I'm glad I took the chance on this :)
DeleteYou got this too :) I love the eye look you did Clare, I'm going to try this. I think Quadrille looks so good on you. I'm very pleased with the formula too, I hope to see more quads like this.
ReplyDeleteThank you, your always so lovely :) The new quad formula is coming out in March, so assume you will get that as well? The sa said it was really creamy and pigmented and not baked, there are 8 of them, I can't wait for them to come out, I have started saving up ;)
DeleteSuch a beautiful combination! Sadly, by the time I was able to buy it they were sold out! :(
ReplyDeleteoh no thats not good :( I guess it will mean more money when the new palettes come out next month, perhaps they might have a similar combination?
Deletex
This one looks really pretty, I'm almost regretting not getting it!!! I also get the baked version here in Mexico, so I should have got it. Anyway, I'll check if it's still available
ReplyDeleteHello Anne,
DeleteYes, its worth checking if they still have it as its so easy to work with compared to the baked ones :)
this quad look very pretty! love the look you have created with it, so lovely <3
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I was really pleased I took the chance on it as the coral/pink shade did scare me a bit :)
