It’s a cohesive quad true to its name and all the shades rate well. Being too orangey, it’s not my cup of tea, but I think the matte shades will appeal to those who are tired of everything being shimmery.
It’s nice. I do wish that #4 was noticably deeper than #2, enough to create some real contrast.
I like a good matte palette that isn’t all about glitter. This would be perfect for summer.
It’s good that this got a decent rating, in light of how dismal some of the Tom Ford quads have performed but these aren’t my colours at all and, to me, this doesn’t seem like a lot of “bang” for 88 bucks! (or 110 bucks here in Canada).
