Top 5: Palettes and Quads

When It comes to wearing eyeshadows palettes & quads are just the thing that I reach for the most. They’re very easy and travel-friendly and it’s easy to pick out a few colors. It’s like the colors are already picked out for you. Because almost every eyeshadow creases on me I use a eyeshadow primer before so all of them are long wearing.

L’oreal Quad (Color Riche Les Ombres – shade: E1 Beige Trench)

The first one is a quad and comes from L’oreal. It’s from the drugstore so the price is very affordable and it’s easy to get a hold of.  The colors are very shimmery but I think they are also wearable and sutble for the day time. The color combination is perfect and the quality is also great.

Clinique Quad (All About Shadow Quad - shade: 06 Pink Chocolate)

Because I’m a fan of golden, bronzy and champagny eyeshadows this palette isn’t a typical color selection for me. It contains pinks with a brown undertone and light/dark browns. The formula is so creamy and easy to blend. I love this palette for the day time and it really brings out brown eyes.

MAC Quad (Devilish Dark – shades: Manila Paper – Goldmine – Honey Lust – Devilishly Dark)

This quad is one of my favorite ever! It’s easy to wear and and very neutral. I also use the brown shade to do my eyebrows. You can do a neutral eye or more a smockey eye. I love that you can see through MAC-packaging and it’s easy to travel with. A compact choice that’ll cover every neutral eyeshadow decision.

Bobbi Brown Palette (Shimmer Brick Eye Palette – shade: Sequin)

This palette was limited edition but I think it’s still available somewhere online. All the 10 shades are shimmery. The packaging is so beautiful and sleek. Although it's all shimmery it's not in your face and the shades are easy to blend. So it’s a great palette.

Rimmel Quad (Glam Eyes HD – shade: 022 Brixton Brown)

This isn’t really a quad because it contains 5 colors. It's also from the drugstore so it's very affordable. I love the combination I can get from this and I think the shades are more for the fall/winter time or for evenings because you get a really smockey look. All the shades are very blendable and unique. A must-have! 

Bobbi Brown Christmas Collection

A new release of Bobbi Brown is the limited edition „Warm Glow Eye Palette“.

The packaging is beautiful!!! It’s brown fake-croc leather with an golden edge and it just feels so luxurious. 

The neutral palette contains 3 matte and 6 shimmery shades. A light matte colour (flesh) to highlight your browbone, a matte beige colour (beige) to define your crease and a matte black colour (rich caviar) to make it all more smokey. To make it all more sparkley on the eyelid there are the 6 shimmery shades (golden pink, bonfire, rosé, gold, velvet bronze and golden bronze).

With this palette I’ll definitely rock a christmassy smockey eye. It’s gorgeous go and get it now, because it’s almost sold out at every Bobbi Brown counter that I’ve been.

Merry Chrismas Smockey Eye!
