Very sheer, shimmery, best for highlighting

This Fall, Maybelline New York released four new eyeshadow quads in their Luminous Lights edition, all the quads include light, sheer, shimmer shadows designed to illuminate the eyes and your makeup look. I first saw the advertisement in a magazine and the model is wearing the Opal Lights quad, so when I spotted these at my local Walmart, I picked up the same quad from the ad. The ad makes the qua...read mored look pretty colorful, just my style. 1. base: sheer baby pink shimmer 2. lid: sheer light chartreuse shimmer 3. crease: opal blue shimmer 4. liner: copper shimmer The shadows swatch with some light color and heavy shimmer, the colors are definitely beautiful. BUT, when you wear the shadows as the palette instructs, they all pretty much look the same - all you see are some bits of shimmer. So, as for an eyeshadow quad to make a look with, I would not recommend this - as a palette of highlight shades to compliment makeup looks, I would highly recommend it! Think about all the eyeshadow palettes you see or buy or use, they all come with 1-2 highlight shades, and they are usually some type or white or cream. I have been LOVING the Opal Lights quad as my go-to highlighting palette, it has a permanent home in my collection. I'm actually thinking about getting their other three palettes because I'm really loving the idea of a tinted highlight to compliment my looks. Another fun use for these quads, dab a little shimmer on the center of your lid on top of a smokey eye and it really makes the look pop and glow!

Pretty colors, but...

There is very fine glitter in these shades, it appears to be frosted. You don't see the sparkle until you swipe the applicator across. The texture is just OK, not very silky and I encountered sparkle fallout.

Wonderful Product!!

This Maybelline eye shadow quad is just plain amazing!! I got this for christmas in Opal Lights and I use it everyday. It is the perfect size to put in your purse or small makeup bag. Now if you want to know, the Opal lights shades include a very light pink, a cream, a light brown, and a light blue. They are very pretty colors! They have lots of shimmer. The shadow stays on all day! I highly reccomend this product to anyone!

Great!

I was hunting for a simple palette of soft pretty eyeshadow colors. But so many eye shadows today are so BRIGHT and colorful. I was so happy that I found this (I got the Lavender Lights colors) and it works really great. I don't apply too much because it'll give too much shimmer, but it's great when you're going out on the town.
