Before I start this review, I recently brought this from a shop that sells discounted make up but I've recently discovered that Maybelline has changed the packaging and this is still available as part of the Big Eyes range.
So I'm not really sure why I brought this, it's not similar to any of the colours I normally wear, but anyway change is good! and I have actually used this a lot for night outs for a bit more of a bold and exciting eye look. This quad is in shade 12, Grey Pink Drama and is part of the eye studio range. It comes with a brush, which I haven't even touched but it would be useful for quick touch ups or if you're need to travel somewhere with it. Helpfully on the back it numbers each shadow and has a diagram to show you how to achieve a smokey eye. I wouldn't say I follow this but if you were unsure or wanted to try something different it's there.
As you can see from the picture it's in a sturdy packaging that fastens shut, and all the shadows are heavily glitter based. The palest shadow is the largest and is suggested to to be used a highlighter, and this is soft white colour. Then the pink and grey shadows are also both light and are designed to be used on the lid, and the final shadow is the darkest and is the liner. All of these shadows are super soft and blendable however they are extremely sparkly and glittery and not very pigmented which means that when it comes to creating an eye look you have to be expecting glitter! I'm not sure how much I'd use the final shadow as a liner as I'd prefer a matte liner to complete the look rather than to add more glitter. This means that it's not subtle to use everyday but for a night out and with a primer underneath these can definitely create a simple but effective eye look.
