Maybelline Eyestudio Quad in New York Night - Review, Photos, Swatches

Tweet

Smoky eyes is the go-to eye makeup for that sexy, fierce, and vixen-y look. But with summer just around the corner, I personally think donning smoked out eyes (in black/grey) is a little..off-the-season? :) But that's just me. Like what I always say, if you wanna rock it, forget the rules! Own it!

But if you consider a summer-appropriate smoky eyes, then this palette from Maybelline could be the right one for you. :)

Shades of  (denim-ish) blue

MX-1 New York Night

These blues are great for the smoky eye look but with a little more color than the usual.

The color payoff is nice and the texture is great. Not chalky at all. 

I really love Maybelline palettes because it's perfect for everyone: beginners to pros. 

They have a variety of palettes to choose from, so I'm pretty sure you'll find something that will work for you.

Summer is almost here! It's the perfect time to wear fresh, vibrant colors: from clothes, shoes, accessories to makeup. I've been receiving comments from you my dear readers that most of the products I feature are either not locally available or way over your budget. So i decided to make a series of product reviews that aren't just locally available but are affordable, too (or at least at reasonable prices).

This time, let's focus on the windows of our soul: our eyes.

Okay, okay. I know the label says "autumn", so why would we wear it during summer?
The shades are obviously neutrals. For me, neutrals can be worn anytime, any season.
The trick is, you should apply it sparingly.
This was my first (and favorite!) palette from Maybelline.
I love their eye shadow quads because they really work together and it's so easy to use.
They even have directions at the back on how one should apply it. It's great especially for those who are just beginning in applying / experimenting with makeup.

PROS: Nice neutral shades that can be worn all year. Will flatter any skin tones. The color payoff is awesome. They're highly pigmented and the texture is also nice. Not chalky at all.The packaging is compact and it's easy to tote around. It's also locally available.

CONS: I really can't think of any. :)

VERDICT: 

 I will definitely repurchase!
