My Experience with Dolce Gabbana Desert Eyeshadow Quad
I am someone who can never have enough neutral eyeshadows. I was lacking a neutral eyeshadow quad in my collection so I thought I might give it a go. Honestly, I did not expect these eyeshadows to turn out to be sooo good. These are just brilliant and I can’t stop using them every now and then.
The 4 shades include :
- matte creamish white.
- a shimmery yellow based brown
- matte soft reddish brown
- matte deep reddish chocolatey brown
All the 4 shades are on the warmer side and are perfect for every day wear. Except the whitish shade, which I find slightly chalky the rest 3 shades are just perfect. Infact the lightest shade also looks good once blended. It does not look stark against my warm skintone and adds just the right amount of highlight. The pigmentation of all 4 eyeshadows is brilliant. They blend easily. They stay on all day/ night long and they have no fall out as such. They just go on seamlessly.
You can apply a wash of shimmery shade all over the lid or use it in the crease.
The darkest shade can be used to either set your kajal or to create a full on smokey eyes.
The lightest shade can be used on the lid or as a highlighter for eyes.
And the medium shade works perfect for everyday all over wash of color.
You can take the colors from night to day easily with a few strokes of brush.
Could we please take a moment to appreciate the gorgeous gold packaging. 😀 Although I have to admit that the applicators are useless. But I’d ignore that considering everything about this palette is sooo good.
Although the colors may not be unique but I’d still say that it is worth every penny. And if you own it you wouldn’t stop using it. 🙂
Loveeee these completley and highly recommended. Sadly, not available in India at the moment.
Rating : 4.6/5
Swatches:
Eye makeup look : I have used the lightest color on the lid and the brow bone. The two medium colors are blended in the crease and the darkest shade I have used just on the outer corner. I have also used the medium brown on the lower lash line. And easy peasy everyday look. 🙂

This seems to be the perfect quad! And what you have done with it, Rati, I have no words to describe! Absolutely brilliant eotd! And thanks for also sharing the lotd! So gorgeous! 🙂
Such pretty colours – I have a weakness for neutrals.
It would be great to see how intense the colour payoff is when the shadows are used wet. Have you worn them wet, Rati?
That’s a no then?!
Rati, you look awesome with this eyeshadow!! 🙂
Is such a brilliant idea to use it dry as to match up with MAC lipstick REBEL!!
Using it wet maybe more suitable if to create smoky eyes makeup..
