Day 17: Avon 24K Gold Eyeshadow Quad in Gleam of Gold

Hi,

After such a good response from my review of the Green Flash Avon Eyeshadow Quad I decided to show you anouther from the Avon collection, which is slowly growing in size.

Avon's sale catalogues are the best place to pick up these quads as they can be anything up to £8.50 full price but on sale come down to £4 sometimes even £3, which when you order the amount of make-up I do, makes a huge difference!

Anyway here is what it looks like from the outside:

The classic black box with gold elements

A handy guide of how to apply the colours is on the back.

 

All four of the colours in the quad have a gold shimmer to them (hence the name Gleam of Gold) and the colours are pigmented so much that you could create both bold and subtle styles.

The inside of the palette has been given the gold treatment too!

The is shown on the packaging as colour 1, to be used on the brow bone
but it will also work well in the tear duct as a eye brightner

Colour 2 is shown as a base lid colour to go all over your lid
but on darker skin tones may work better as a highlighter than colour 1

Eyeshadow 3 is a beautfiul mauve/purple colour, use in your socket line
or over the top of black gel line to make a vivid violet shimmer shadow

Finally colour 4, a golden pale brown, this would work as crease colour
when used with colour 2 or as a shimmer over a brown smokey eye.

As I mentioned about these colours swatch really well as the shadows are highly pigmented:

L-R: 1, 2, 3 & 4

Overall I am really impressed with this eye shadow quad. The colours are very use-able in that they could be worn everyday for work or glammed up for an evening out. They are long wearing and don't crease hardly at all.

I got this compact on sale so I'm not sure if this is still available but check out their website for all the other gorgeous quads they offer.

Do you have this quad or any other Avon shadows? Let me know what you think in the comments below
