Anastasia Eyeshadow
Anastasia Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.59 oz.) just launched at Sephora and Ulta, and you can purchase four for $40, which will get you a refillable 4-pan quad (Sephora’s system will only let you purchase a discounted set of four once per order). I’ve only ordered my eyeshadow singles from Anastasia directly, and I have ordered eight at a time and have received 8-pan cardboard palettes to put them in. However, the quad from Sephora is all plastic with a clear lid–it looks a lot like MAC’s newer quad packaging.
Anastasia Stone Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.59 oz.) is a light-medium taupe with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had really good pigmentation with a soft, silky, and smooth texture that applied well and blended out with ease. On me, it started to fade after seven and a half hours of wear. NABLA Cosmetics Fossil (P, $8.00) is lighter (95% similar). Laura Mercier Cappuccino (LE, $23.00) is lighter (95% similar). ColourPop Take the Lead (LE, $4.50) is darker (90% similar).

Anastasia Blanc Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.59 oz.) is a pale, white-beige with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque coverage with a lightly powdery texture that does tend to fall out when applied, which is less-than-ideal as the lighter color can make everything grayer if it falls on top so definitely tap of excess and press against the skin rather than sweeping. It lasted for seven and a half hours on me. KVD Beauty Banshee (LE, ) is brighter (95% similar). Coloured Raine Pure (LE, $6.99) is cooler (95% similar).

Anastasia Fawn Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.59 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark yellowed brown with warm undertones and a matte finish.

Anastasia Smoke Eyeshadow ($12.00 for 0.59 oz.) is a dark, taupe brown with warmer undertones and a matte finish. It had fairly good color payoff with a firmer, slightly stiff texture that could have been easier to work with as it could get a little patchy when blended.

I’d love Fawn as a crease shade.
It would be perfect in the crease!
Not the most exciting colors here, but it will be a workhorse palette for many
True!
very pretty eye shadows.
They are!
I like the way Stone and Smoke swatch on your skin, but not Smoke’s performance issues.
I wish Smoke was a bit easier to use!
All too warm for me!
Gotcha!
Matte eye shadow lovers would adore these colours. Looks lovely on you, especially with the gorgeous eye liner you have on.
Thank you, Genevieve!
Meh, the whole color palette just looks is a bit boring to me. If I’m gonna buy another neutral/natural set of shades the quality has to be perfect.
Sorry – that’s my fault – I chose those four to showcase in the set. These are not sold together; they are sold as individuals — this is NOT a pre-made palette! Sorry again for picking bad shades for you!
What are you saying sorry for??? 🙂
I’m sooooooo happy that you’re doing ABH singles reviews!!! Thank you, Christine!!! ?
No problem!
Shades such as these may not produce a chorus of “oohs & ahhhs”, BUT they are an absolute necessity especially for doing a pin-up neutral look eye! Thank you for reviewing these essentials.
Well said, Nancy!
I like these colors together, but none of them seem to show up very much on the lid. D:
Stone is very similar to my skin tone 🙁 Sorry about that. Wish I could change skin tones for you!
If you love natural looks, it seems the perfect 4 shades palette to keep in your bag!
They could be! They are available individually. I just happened to purchase these four and use them together, so I reviewed them together.
I see! Well, it’s a good advice (even if it wasn’t on purpose)!
Ooh, I like these. AND they’re a cruelty free version of MAC’s eye shadows 🙂
Yay 🙂
