  My Mac quad is my most used, most loved palette in my collection (okay... alongside my Naked Basics palette). It has my perfect everyday shades but also can be layered up to create lots of different dramatic eye looks. Starting top left is the shade Texture- This warm, orange toned brown with slight flecks of shimmer is perfect for anyone with brown or hazel eyes as an all over wash on the lid and blended into the crease.

It can also be used as a transition shade blended into the crease to darken up eye looks. The bottom left is my most worn shadow- All that Glitters, It is a peachy shimmery almost rose gold shade that I use almost everyday as a simple wash of colour all over the lid. Paired with a thin black line and a slick of mascara

What isn't there to love about these products? I picked 2 shades; a nude #03 and a dark berry shade  #22. The nude is a perfect "your lips but better" pink which complements every and any make up look. The berry lippy is also such a lovely wearable shade which is perfect for the oncoming Autumnal and wi
