Quad Eye Shadow

This is a nice product. The colors are very saturated and apply smoothly.

Not sure why the rating is so high?

PROS: The texture is very smooth and silky. CONS: These are VERY UNPIGMENTED!!! I tried layering the color but it didn't build up well. These are also expensive at full price--especially for something that doesn't show up. I tried the crappy applicator, then switched over to brushes. The colors are very similar too--so what's the point of the palette? Save your money and get something else!

My very first eyeshadow

When I was 18 this was my first eyeshadow/makeup! It was great, and I'm still using it. I like the natural colors, and they are easy to blend. And the price was (and is) about average for that type of product.

Physicians Formula Matte Collection Quad Eye Shadow

I have the Canyon quad, and I really like it. The shadows are nicely coordinated, they are buildable as well as blendable, and they last really well for me, and I am extremely oily. I had no problems with creasing or fading even when I didn't use a primer. They are quite silky in texture and are easily applied, just use a brush and not the crappy applicators they come with.

Always consistent

This is definitely one of the better shadows I've tried. It always goes on nice and smooth and even, with good staying power.

I can create an understated, polished, professional eye with this in no time flat

This in "Canyon Classics" has replaced the L'Oreal Paris Wear Infinite Eye Shadow Quad in "Neutrals" as my go-to eye shadow for day time. It goes on smoothly, is non-irritating on my sensitive skin and is ridiculously easy to blend. I can create an understated, polished, professional eye with this in no time flat -- which is a Godsend for those rushed mornings. The only caveat is that it doesn't l...read moreook its best applied over bare skin -- it works best over some kind of primer, which renders it long-lasting and crease proof. I simply take whatever makeup I've used to cover my rosacea that morning, and also apply it on my eyelids and up to my brows. That is perfectly sufficient to keep this eye shadow in place (as well as covering the eyelid veins that show through my fair skin). My only complaint is that the color names are confusing. I had once tried the "Classic Nudes" but the color wasn't flattering to me. As I became more knowledgeable about color (thanks to some of the tutorials here on TotalBeauty!), I realized that "Classic Nudes" is too warm for me. I think they should rename "Classic Nudes" to be "Warm Nudes," and "Canyon Classics" (what works for me) to be "Cool Nudes." I would highly recommend this o anyone looking for a high-quality matte eye shadow.

Great for oily eyelids

I have very oily skin but this eyeshadow will stay on all day long without using a primer. They have a nice matte finish so they are great for everyday. I have the canyon classics and quartz pallettes and the colors are all great. I would highly recommend them

Holy Grail Eye Brow Palette!

I purchased this palette, in Canyon Classics, back when I was in highschool and started taking care of my eye brows and wanted to define them. A few days after I got it the creamy shade fell out and I hardly got to even use it. I used the darkest cool toned dark brown until it ran out and was very disappointed when I could not find it anywhere. I eventually tracked it down at a CVS and finally got...read more to try the creamy shade and I fell in love! It reminds me a lot of Heaven by Too Faced but it is a lot more pigmented. The only thing about this particular shade is that it can be very powder but nothing tapping off your brush cannot help. Like mentioned before, the darkest shade is great if you like really dark brows. The two other shades are great subtle crease colors. Especially with the lightest shade, you can create a really natural look with winged eyeliner and create a pin up effect. The two shades seem exactly the same in the pan but when swatched one is darker and more cool toned than the other. I reach for this palette everyday using the lightest shades under my brows as an intense matte highlight and the dark brown for my brows. If you can track it down, snatch it up!

Love these shadows

These are the greatest shadows I have used in a long time. These are well worth the money that I spent. I had no problem with creasing and they stayed on all day. I did not have to touch my eyes up in the middle of the day like with other products. I love these.
