Everything is better in 4s

One of my favourite things in the makeup realm of things are eyeshadow quads.  They are an instant eye look in one little compact-a brow/highlight shade, lid color, crease, and liner.  The only thing you need are some good brushes (the cheap sponges that come with it don't really work that great).  Here are all the quads I have. (BTW, All swatch pictures are one swipe with my finger, no primer, no flash, just one coat on my bare hand)

e.l.f Essential Brightening Eye Color in Punk Funk
These are my funky colors, this is the only one where you can't really follow the usual formula for where each shade goes. Just have fun with it!

e.l.f Essential Brightening Eye Color in Ethereal
These colors are gorgeous.  I put the shimmery white on the top left (top swatch) on the brow bone and inner corner, the nude color on the bottom left (second from the top swatch) on my lid, the pinkish color on the bottom right (third from the top swatch) I use to contour my crease, and the darkest color in the top right spot (bottom swatch) I use as an eyeliner.

This is another neutral quad, but these are darker than the previous one.  I put the nude color on the top left (top swatch) on the brow bone and inner corner, the light brown on the bottom left (second from the top swatch) goes on my lid, the dark brown on the bottom right (third from the top swatch) goes in my crease, and the color in the top right spot (bottom swatch) is the eyeliner.





ANYWAY...there are my eye quads and how I use them. I loooooove these and I will always prefer these types of quads to single shadows for easy, portable eye looks.
