So in the quad you have 4 shadows 2 matte and 2 shadows with light shimmer.
On the back on the quad
There is a very detailed chart showing you
a great way to use all 4 colors for a smokey look.
Here are the swatches..
The individual colors are not the named so I will be doing my best to describe them for you..
This is the top left color of the quad.. Its a matte bone shade.
This one is the color on the upper right of the quad.. and its a very light taupe color with a little shimmer to it.
This color is the bottom left and its more of a greyish taupe with a small amount of shimmer..
And this is the bottom right color of the quad..and its more of a matte brown color. There is a tiny bit of shimmer but really its more matte.
Here are all the colors..
And here is how they look on me..
Its a very subtle quad..
that you can build up for a more dramatic look or you could just use a couple colors for a more daytime look.
Over all I think these quads are really nice. I love almost all the colorstay products because they really hold up over time, heat, and without a primer. If you do use a primer they last even longer. Yesterday I applied this quad around noon and I took a bath about 1 am. During those 13 hours the shadow didn't move a bit.
As I said above, there are 16 colors to this line and I am seriously thinking about getting more. I think the packaging is sleek for a quad. It would fit easily in any make up bag.
The Addictive Pallet it has GREAT pigmentation and the colors are Very SMOOTH!!. The texture of these are pretty thin so if you are wanting a more dramatic look you will have to build it up. I haven't had any problems with creasing either. They are a little powdery and you will have some fall out but for me, it was pretty easy to wipe away.
There will always be hit or miss on any drugstore line but this one is a HIT for me!! I think this quad is a great everyday kind of quad. I can't wait to get Seductive.. which is a purple quad. I will be looking for these on sale and using coupons on top of it to really get the savings!
Here is my video review..
Have you tried these yet??? I would love to hear from you!!
Email me and let me know what one's you have tried and what you think of them!
