Maybelline Stylish Smokes Quad in Natural Smokes Review, Swatches, FOTD

Shortly after I blogged about Maybelline's Stylish Smokes quad in Charcoal Smokes, I went out and snagged Natural Smokes too. The palette retails for $5.99, I got it for slightly less since the store had $1 off Maybelline coupons.


The shadows are pigmented with a smooth and easy to blend texture. The packaging is simple, nice and slim so I have it in my makeup pouch all the time. It's a smoky palette but you can wear it for everyday just fine. For $6, it's a great quad! Drugstores offer discounts frequently making it a even better deal.


Swatched in a clockwise manner starting with the brow shade (reminds me of MAC's vanilla). My favorite is the lid shade, it has a pretty shimmer to it. I like the crease shade too but it's on the darker side for me so I have to be very careful when using it. The matte outer corner shade is way too dark for me, I can only use it as a liner.


Here's a simple look I did with it.


And with better outdoor lighting. It's been so cold here!

Next time I'll actually use the quad for a smoky look :)

XOXO, M

  14. Great tips on the maybelline natural smokes eyeshadow. I've looked around to see how people look in it...especially asian girls like myself. I see that alot of people apply too much and look like they got a black eye. It kind of turned me off from possibly trying it out but seeing it on you it looks nice.
