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!

Here is a simple EOTD featuring these eyeshadows!

All That Glitters on the lid and inner corner
Sable on the outer lid and lower lashline
Urban Decay Strange (Naked 3) on the browbone
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.
