Hi guys. So, today, I'm going to tell you about the E.L.F. Brightening Eye Color in Drama which was a part of the E.L.F. Smokey Eye Look set that my sister got for me for my birthday.
I'm not usually a conventional smokey-eye wearer just because it takes time for me to blend back shadow well enough not to look like I got into a fight. =) I do use browns and coppers because they're a bit easier to handle. Anyways, for my birthday, I made an exception and actually tried to do a black smokey-eye look, and this quad made my life so much easier.
E.L.F. actually sells quads like this separately. They are 129.75 each if I'm not mistaken but with a little different design (the shadow pans are triangular). Each quad comes with a dual ended sponge-tip applicator (which is pretty run-of-the-mill but usable) and a tini-tiny mirror.
Pros:
1. Clear-covered packaging makes it easier to see the colors
2. The mirror is tiny but can actually help with application. Tried it once on my old quad and it's not too bad.
3. Shadows are actually very pigmented
4. Can definitely help you rock a smokey-eyes look
Cons:
1. Packaging is a bit flimsy. I dropped my old one and the cover broke off. I hope E.L.F. revamps the packaging of their old quads like the new ones.
2. The metallic ones (the two shades of gray) are powdery so application can be tricky. The loose-powder-under-eyes will do the work.
3. I personally think that the matte white shadow could have used a little shimmer. It comes off just like a tiny little pan of white pressed powder.
Nonetheless, I like this quad practically because it's a live saver. Plus, it'd be fun to collect all the quads from E.L.F., and this might just start my collection.
Cheerio! BTW, watch out for my sister's look where I used this quad. Soon to be posted! =)
