SUGAR Blend The Rules Eyeshadow Quad – SkyFall : Swatches & Review

Delhi winter is young and careless. Why not holding on to something  that can keep you warm for instance SUGAR Blend The Rules EyeShadow Quad in SkyFall is the hottest launch this season. SUGAR launched 18 eye shadow quads along with 2 eye palettes. I was really getting anxious to try my hands on the new launch when I received it in my December Fab Bag, real perk of subscribing to fab bag.

I really had a hard time choosing the shades of Blend The Rules Eye Shadow Quad. Every quad has two neutral and two string shades. The name of the shades too are quite quirky giving no help. I actually have quite mixed views about this squad and the range itself. Let me share my opinion about the same with you too.

Packaging

As compared to other palettes and eye quads, this range of Blend The Rules Eye Shadow Quads is packed in a card box rather than a plastic or metal frame. I like the outer cover of the quad displaying a girl with eye shadow on her eyes, so chic. But as you open the quad there is a black frame containing for shadows. There is a mini dual ended sponge provided with the eye shadow quad. I wish there was also a mirror provided with the quad. I think SUGAR has tried to keep the production cost lower.

The dual ended sponge is alright in quality, but I don’t think you would like to use it. Better use your eyeshadow brushes for creasing and blending. The sponge is alright just to deposit color on the lashes.

SUGAR Blend The Rules Eyeshadow Quad – SkyFall

Skyfall is for those girls who want a bit of everything. Just like me. It has beautiful shades cream, mauve, bright blue & metallic purple. This quad is idea to create a peacock look according to SUGAR.

Honestly cream is very neutral shade for my wheatish skin tone. It really blends into my skin tone so I can’t really use it as a highlighter. Kind of waste for me. The mauve shade is very beautiful. I love the beautiful hue it gives to my boring eyes. Bright blue & metallic purple shade are no doubt amazing.

How To Use SUGAR Blend The Rules Eyeshadow Quad?

1. Every quad has a light shade, dark shade a bright shade and a metallic shade.
2. Use the dark shade to create define your crease. Blend from outward to inward to create nice hue.
3. Apply the bright shade on eye doe while blending the edges seamlessly.
4. Use the metallic color at the center of the lid or stretch it till the outer corner to create a more dramatic look.

Pigmentation

The pigmentation of the shadows is above average. The lighter shades, cream & mauve are alright in pigmentation while bright blue and metallic purple are more impressive.

Texture

The matte shadows are pressed powders while the metallic shade is bit creamy. The mattes are fine textured and the metallic of course contains glitter. I do not find any issue to pick the shadow and deposit on my lid. Also the blending is quite smooth. It’s always advised to use a nice eye primer before starting your eye makeup to create a nice surface, ease the blending and restrain creasing.

Longevity

The eyeshadows once applied do not crease. It is an awesome fact. Even without a primer the eye shadows give a nice performance. I have worn these shadows for 4-5 hours and did not face any smudge or fall out.  Later the colors started fading slowly.

The shadows are easy to take off too. If you do not have a makeup remover, you can just massage your eye area with few drops of almond oil/any nice oil. Then taking a damp cotton remove the shadows.

 

SUGAR Blend The Rules Eyeshadow Quad Skyfall is a lovely quad of cream, mauve, bright blue & metallic purple. This squad could be used to create multiple look out of its colors. One can use all the colors or just single color depending upon occasion. I wish SUGAR improves the packaging a bit. For 700 bucks we can expect a nice applicator and mirror too.

 

This was my review of the eye quad from SUGAR. I really have mixed feeling about the squad. The color choice is nice but it offers nothing extra ordinary as we expect SUGAR products to be.
