e.l.f Shadow Quad

I do find these ELF eyeshadow quads to be a little powdery however some of the quads are quite pigmented and some are not so. I own three of them are the brighter bolder colors tend to have more pigmentation than the browner/natural color ones. In my opinion for the price they are still worth it, they do the job and if your wanting a full range of different colors but on a budget then these are your quads.

I got the e.l.f. eyeshadow quad from a friend who knew I was rather enthusiastic about eye shadows.

The colours in the quad were quite neutral and while I could use the quad to create an eye look, I prefer to use the whole quad as base colours and crease blending shades.

The shadows are soft powdery and soft. They are not that pigmented and aren't that great to build up. As such a subtle shadow, they also fade away fairly quickly.

As I was needing some more neutral shadows I find the eyeshadows very useful, but I would buy a more pigmented quad to replace it.

For people who like subtle make up or often feel their make up looks heavy handed, this is a great quad to experiment with.

I have butternut the colours are awesome for everyday. But the shadows are very chalky these are good for beginners but you will need a primer underneath

Although this product is very cheap, the quality is poor. The shadow is very chalky and not very pigmented. May be good for those who are beginners with makeup, however I would not recommend purchasing this elf product. this was a disappointment as I love most elf products.

I purchased this online, as it was so cheap. The colours were really nice, but definitely not long lasting at all. It creased really badly on me, and that was with eyeshadow primer and it was quite a dry formula with a lot of fall out underneath my eyes.

I purchased this quad as part of an ELF haul because it so super cheap, as I wanted to know what the hype and fuss was about. I really was not expecting the world of make up miracles because I only paid $2 for it on iherb.

The eyeshadow was not very pigmented and didnt have any lasting power on it own. I however used it conjunction to the ELF eyeshadow primer and I found the eyeshadows to work a treat. I wouldnt be my first choice of eyeshadow, but if I was really in need, then I would get these little guys.

Not all girls can afford high end make up so I'm glad that there is a make up range for the girl that loves make up but doesnt have the money to go high end. Now we can all look make up beautiful :)

This product is one of the cheaper eyeshadow quads,I brought mine 5 dollars from kmart and the first time I used it I was disappointed with the poor quality of the product. The eyeshadow isnt pigmented and it just looks shimmery and shiny,it was horrible to try and blend . I guess that for the price of the product it wasnt absolutely horrible.

ELF is one of my all time favourite brands and I have a lot of their products. The quad Butternut was given to me by a friend who was purging her collection, and she knows I like ELF and neutrals so she gifted this to me.

The packaging for this quad is very generic and kind of boring. It feels cheap (which it is), and I would advise about being careful with this as the plastic feels like it is easy to break. I like that the lid is clear so you can see the shades. This comes with a sponge applicator which I personally loathe but am sure others find useful.

Them shades in butternut are very pretty and are perfect for a soft, romantic look. I can imagine that this quad would be absolutely ideal for those who aren't into bold looks, teenagers or inexperienced makeup users. The shades in this quad are quite forgiving as there aren't any deep colours.

The pigmentation is ok. To be realistic, it is unfair of me to compare this to more expensive eyeshadows just because this is a very inexpensive product. I think for the price it is excellent quality, but if I compare it to more expensive shadows (like Lorac or Too Faced), then this doesn't score very highly.

The shadows are a little powdery but feel soft and blend without too much trouble. You aren't going to get amazing pigmentation out of these unless you wet them. However, for those who want a natural look then this is ideal.

Because I am an eyeshadow snob and want great pigmentation out of my shadows, I wouldn't buy this for myself. I can definitely see myself purchasing or recommending these for a friend who is new to makeup or who wants to experiment with makeup but doesn't want to pay a lot of money for something they may not like. These quads are so inexpensive that I think they are absolutely perfect for experimenting with shades that scare you, before you commit to an expensive eyeshadow.

I got this as a free gift with my online purchase from Crush Cosmetics.The colours look great in the palette, but they apply quite sheer. I normally use this when I wear minimum makeup.
