Hi girls,
I was completely unaware that Lakme has this quad. The moment I saw it, I bought it! Lakme has hiked the prices a lot. I believe these quads were INR 450 earlier, but now, this one is priced at INR 600. But even at this price, it is an awesome quad to own.
Price:
INR 600

My Experience with Lakme Smokey Glam 9to5 Eye Color Quartet:
Well, I jumped with joy when I saw the colors. I love dirty golds for the eyes. Deeper brown is another one of my favorites. The deeper grey-black shade is also perfect. They have varied it across two color families.
Everyone of us is bound to find a favourite in this quad. You could use only the gold on the lids. Another day, you could pair with the bronze or the grey. I would also love to use the black to blend my eyeliner pencil for a smokey look. You could use the brown or black under the waterline with a pencil brush. You can even use use all the four, as I have done in my EOTD below.
For the crease, I don’t think the deeper brown is very apt plus a light highlight shade is missing. So, you need to use your highlight or compact to clean the things a bit. This is super soft in texture and applies like butter. But honestly, I feel patting them on is always better. The moment you blend them, they look dirty.
For me, patting these shades over a primer with a flat brush is ideal. This surely needs a primer because they are so buttery that they will melt into the skin soon. I am happy with the quad, this is ideal for warm skin.
Pros of Lakme Smokey Glam 9to5 Eye Color Quartet:
- Soft and buttery.
- Awesome shades for warm skin tone.
- Versatile, everyday looks can be created with the colors in this quad.
- Affordable.
- No fall out.
- Not chalky.
Cons of Lakme Smokey Glam 9to5 Eye Color Quartet:
- Need a primer as the shades are very soft.
- Works better when patted rather than blended.
- You may miss a transition color or a highlight.

For sure, go for it.
