Charlotte Tilbury Mesmerising Maroon Eyeshadow Quad ($53.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a new, limited edition, rosy-hued quad that features three shimmery shades and one matte. All four shades performed well with the third shade having a bit of fallout during application and during wear, whereas the other three were very pigmented, blendable, and easy to work with.

Mesmerising Maroon #1
Mesmerising Maroon #1 is a light-medium peach with strong, warm undertones and a bright, metallic sheen. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was dense without being too firmly-pressed into the pan nor was it thick when applied to bare skin. The eyeshadow looked almost “melted” once applied to my lid. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Mesmerising Maroon #3
Mesmerising Maroon #3 is a light-medium, rosy copper with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in one layer, which was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer on top. The texture was smooth, despite how much sparkle was in it, and it didn’t feel as “wet” as other “Pop” shades have in the past, and it seemed to have a lot more binder and creaminess to it overall. It applied evenly to bare skin with a smidgen of fallout during blending. this shade lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably and had a touch of fallout over time.

Mesmerising Maroon #4
Mesmerising Maroon #4 is a muted, medium-dark plum with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, velvety, and silky to the touch–it almost felt cream-like for how smooth it was–with a smidgen of dustiness in the pan but not something that impacted the performance. It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to my lid and blended out with ease. The color wore nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Wow, this really brings out the green in your hazel eyes! If it does that for you I can only imagine what it will do with mine. If I got one, I believe this is the one I would get. And that, even though I love the blue one more. This is the one that would be most flattering, though, and see far more usage as a result.
I could really see you rocking this quad Nancy!
I love this quad, but I can dupe it out. Your eye look is beautiful, Christine!
I love how this looks on you! It brings out your greens nicely.
This quad is really, really pretty. I love the rose gold tones with the plum shades and you could easily use these shades with other colours from your stash. Rose gold and emerald green or blue or grey shades. Very pretty and a great rating too.
This looks like a lovely quad. I wish CT wasnāt so expensive!
This is a beautiful quad. Iām really thinking I should get it to as a nyc quarantine treat (although I just bought myself the By Terry Paris by Light Palette which is lovely). Thank you Christine for continuing to provide reviews and posts. It is helped?.
Thanks for your hard work, it helps a lot in these times! This is really pretty, and my eyes are similar to yours… But I already have Charlotte Tilbury Stars in your Eyes palette so I think I can dupe this, mostly with Confident Eyes… What do you think?
I definitely think you can dupe it with the Stars in Your Eyes Palette!
Thanks, Christine!
