The MAC Quad Complete!

Having received my MAC quad with patina in it for my 18^th birthday by my beautiful best friend Beth (check out her blog even though we both kinda neglected them for months #busybees). It has taken me a year to finally fill it up, which is crazy considering it feels like years ago that I was actually given it (sobs as she realises she’s growing up!). 

So obviously what you’re all here to find out which MAC shadows made the cut to be put in the coveted quad. Well the second shadow that made the quad was ‘Sable’ this is a gorgeous colour!!! Purchased in St Pancras MAC store on the best friends 18^th as we were heading to London to see Wicked (side note best musical ever!!!), I could not leave the store without this shadow in my life hence it had to be bought.  I cannot tell you how freaking pretty this shade is and it graced my lids for well over a month straight #dedication, this shadow is prefect for sweeping all over the lid add some liner, lashings of mascara and voila you have a quick and easy eye look that will honestly take you from day to night. If you like over dramatic eyes, which I’m all for sporting during the day or at night, life’s a party right?

Now the third shadow was given to me at Christmas by my sister who bless her had to tackle the dreaded MAC counter, although she knew what shades I like (basically anything neutral, shimmery or a combination of both) she still thought it best to confer with, Beth the best friend. So my third shadow was ‘Woodwinked’ a gorgeous antiqued gold colour with a hint of bronzey tones, perfect for again sweeping all over the lid and with this shadow in particular once blended into the crease it almost darkens, it’s a lid and crease shade all in one shadow. Perfect for on the go or when doing makeup in a rush it’s full proof!!

 Finally the last shadow that completes the quad was given to me by my sister and on my birthday so a whole year later the last shadow is placed in the quad and the one that completes it is ‘Satin Taupe’. Which is a dark taupey brown colour, it’s more cool tone in comparison to the rest in the quad but nice to have as a contrast and great for again all over the lid or as a crease shade too it would be perfect.

MAC quad is complete and it’s all neutral colours but I love each and every one that’s in this quad and I know all will get good use out of them all. I’m a lover of mac shadow the colour payoff is great and the shade selection is extensive, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want more, but maybe this time I upgrade to a 15 pan palette you know just in case!! Big love to Beth and Becca for pretty much buying most of this, you are both too kind!!

What would make the cut in your MAC quads? X
