MAC Haul: Pedro Lourenco Nude Quad (The Perfect Nude Eye Shadow Palette)

 

This blog will be featuring the newest eye shadow palette to my collection - MAC's Nude Quad from their newest collection with Pedro Lourenco.

Nude: Eye Shadow x4 ($44)

Featuring: Pink Sands (LE), All That Glitters, Rose Cloud (LE), and Sable

Four Eye Shadows with a subtle metallic finish in frosted champagne, pale fleshy peach, cool bronze and soft golden-beige. The highly pigmented powder formula applies evenly, blends and builds beautifully. Limited-edition, black packaging with a chic, velvet finish.

 

Clockwise from top left: Pink Sands, All That Glitters, Rose Cloud, & Sable

 

This palette is perfect for the neutral/nude eye shadow lovers out there. Although this quad features two permanent shades out of the four, I really recommend this quad. This is perfect for everyday and on the go!

This palette does lack a highlight shade.
I personally do not mind this because many times palettes feature a super high shine highlight shade that isn't the look I'm going for.

This palette would work perfectly with a second palette to "spice it up".

I'd make another quad with a satin/matte highlight shade, a medium-to-deep matte brown shade to deepen up the crease, a matte gray or black shade to really smoke it out, and either a "bonus" shade to use as an accent (purple, blue, etc) or a high shine highlight shade for the inner corner.
