It’s definitely the smallest quad I’ve ever seen around the market. The material is plastic with a see-through on top. The material seems cheap and tacky (well, it is cheap) but I don’t really mind. Fun Fact! at first, I thought there isn’t any mirrors on it but then I’ve just realized that the mirror is attached on the applicator compartment (which is useless and too small). The applicator isn’t good enough and a bit hard on your eyes, so I just leave it unused and use my other applicator.

SHADES AND SWATCHES
There are four colours, which are Light Cream, Red, Moss Green, Light Brown (hopefully I describe the colours right). All of them are shimmery. What I like is the shimmer isn’t too obvious so it’s great for daily look. Pigmentation is pretty decent. Not super pigmented (which may be a con to some) and can still be used for a natural look. If you want to make the colour pop more, use e.l.f Make-Up Lock and Seal or any eye primers before.
And here are the swatches!

Here are photos when I used e.l.f Brightening Eye Color #Luxe (It was a hot an sunny day and I could capture some great photos that day)
OVERALL
I like the colour combinations. All colours look great and can be worn from day to night look. Despite that it’s a bit chalky and powdery, I still think it’s okay. The tiny package makes it easy to carry on my make up puch (in case I need touch up).
REPURCHASE?
Nay, I think it takes ages to finish this quad (at least until I hit the pan). Besides, I already have some great palettes which also take time to finish. Maybe I’ll buy the other colour from this range.
PROS:
- Great colour combination.
- Cheap
- The pigmentation is okay (for me it’s good enough, especially for daily and natural look)
- Love the sheer colours (not too shimmery)
CONS:
- The package looks cheap T.T
- The quads are a bit chalky and powdery.
- The lasting power is kinda poor (tip: use eye primer to make it longer)
- The mirror is too small and useless.
- The quality of its applicator is so-so.
Okaaaaay… before you’ve got sore eyes, I’ll show you my other photos with this e.l.f Brightening Eye Color #Luxe
