Hi beauties! I picked up NYC HD Color Quattro Eye Shadow in shade 817 South Street Seaport (6 g) sometime ago. I have one trio from them, which I like and I was hoping I like this one too. The color selection in this quad is beautiful.
As you can see on the picture above you get 4 gorgeous looking shadows. My favorite is the second shadows from left. The reason why I like it is, because it has a bit of pink sheen to it, which comes out in person. Unfortunately it doesn't show up on the pictures.
The pigmentation or the formula of these is not something special. They are very powdery :( They are shimmery, but there is not a lot of it. There is silver glitter in the dark brown shade, but blended in the crease there is no visible glitter. Looks more like matte brown. You do get fall out when working with these and only thing going for them is that they blend out easily.
With a primer underneath them they stay put all day and there is no creasing. I haven't tried these out with out the primer.
I'm not a fan of this quad, but I do like the end result :)
I don't remember the exact price of it, but it wasn't much. I feel like because of that I can't really complain about the quality. I'm not sure if I would pick up any more of their shadows, even though I like the look I came up using this quad.
Have you tried NYC shadows? What do you think?
Thanks for reading! :)
Wow looks stunning!

Ohh my!! This palette looks just FAB!!!
ReplyDeleteAhh it's a shame they're powdery, the look like lovely colours still xx
ReplyDeleteYour eye make up looks lovely, seems to look better on you than in the swatches.x
ReplyDeleteI had read that they reformulated these but I guess it could still better. Like you said, it is relatively cheap :-)

ReplyDelete@ Kimmy - Makes me feel weird when I complain about their shadows...
@ Crazyblondegel - Thanks! xx
@ Jess - Thank you! xx
They are not quite how I expected the shades to look from the packaging to your swatch, I thought they would be darker.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Nyx shadows before. I like their lip products and I usually stick to that :) I have way too many quads at the moment that need more using z.z

(don't know why my phone corrected Nyc to Nyx lol) Funnily enough it's the same for Nyx. I'm just a lip product junkie. xx
