My Experience with Sugar Cosmetics Blend The Rules Eyeshadow Quad 16 Roar:
‘Sugar Blend The Rules Eyeshadow Quad’ range comes in gorgeous 18 different shades. The palettes are customised as per your needs. They have warm-toned nudes, browns, bronzes for everyday wear and festive looks as well as dramatic evening makeup look palettes in blue, purple green and black colours which are meant for night time.
Packaging:
This eyeshadow quad comes in a quirky, cute cardboard container having the signature Sugar prints on the top of the cardboard cover. The container has a magnetic closure lid, which is strong and closes tightly to keep the eyeshadows intact while travelling. The container feels extremely lightweight and comfortable.
This palette comes with dual-tip sponge applicator which can be used for the application of eyeshadow. If you don’t find this sponge applicator convenient to use for application purpose, you can also use eyeshadow brushes. I prefer using brushes over this applicator.
There is an outer black cardboard cover inside in which the eyeshadow palette comes. It has the Sugar logo embossed on it and the ingredient details are mentioned at the back cover of this cardboard box. There is one drawback: it does not come with a mirror. Overall, I like the cute packaging and it looks pretty.
Shade and Pigmentation:
This palette is absolutely meant for festive events and for daily wearable looks too. It is my most favourite palette of all the 3 that I have hauled. You just carry one palette and you are sorted for any occasion.
Shade 1:
The left top most shadow is a nude shade which is apt for the everyday kind of looks when you want to wear an eyeshadow without going overboard with the eye makeup. It’s like my go-to kind of shade for every day. I can wear it to college easily. It is a little powdery but has poor pigmentation. The texture is smooth but causes a lot of fallout.
Shade 2:
To the right of the topmost shade is a stunning coral peach shade with pinkish undertones. It is wearable too and has okay-type pigmentation. The texture is smooth and I love this shade a lot. You can also wear it as a blush without carrying one with yourself.
Shade 3:
In the bottom row, the first shade is a super gorgeous gold shade which can be used in the crease area. It is a shimmer shade and texture of this shade is ultra-smooth. It is much pigmented. The colour shows up well on the eyes in a single swipe.
Shade 4:
The last shade in this palette is a metallic deep bronze shade. Since it is the darkest shade, it can be used on the outer corners of the lid for a more defined look. This is a shimmer shade with a buttery texture and intense pigmentation. No fallout. It is perfect to add up the oomph for festive events.
All the shades in this palette are shimmer shades and it’s better to apply these shades with your fingers rather than using a brush. They have no fallout and are very easy to work. The pigmentation of the shimmer shades is awesome and only 1-2 swipes are perfect to obtain the true colour intensity. Overall, the shade range is very useful and comes handy in so many ways.
Texture and Finish:
The shades in this palette have an extremely soft, buttery and smooth texture and they glide on the eyes effortlessly. They blend beautifully on the eyes, especially the neutral shades for the crease area and the metallic shades for the lid area. The shades don’t feel patchy and ensure a smooth finish post application. While applying the shimmery shades, if you use a wet brush, the colour intensity will be more beautiful and they will give a stunning look on the eyes.
I mix and match different colours to create different looks. I really loved the way this palette fared for me. In a nutshell, this is a nicely formulated palette. But there is one problem with this range. I feel all the quads have repeated shades. So, if you end up buying 5-6 palettes, you will definitely notice some shades being repeated.
This is not economical keeping the price point in mind. I wish they launched these quad palettes in lesser shades instead of 18 shades. Before buying this palette, see the colour options carefully, otherwise, you might end up owning same shades. When I am investing in eyeshadow palettes, I would love to own different colours, so I just got 3 quads.
Staying Power:
I fell in love with the creamy formulation of these eyeshadows. Now let’s talk about how long these stay on my eyes. Well, I must say these are long-lasting too. Without a primer, on my oily lids, they stay for about 5-6 hours; with a primer, for 7-8 hours without any creasing. These shades are easy to remove as well. They come off easily with any makeup remover.
Overall:
This is a great range if you want to buy an eyeshadow palette. It offers palettes for neutral looks, for festive looks, for evening party looks. Therefore, as per your needs, you will find a palette of your choice. The shade ’16 Roar’ is the perfect palette for all looks and is going to rock everyone’s makeup stash. I am quite happy with this palette and it performs really well. I can’t think of any big drawback other than the repeated shades issues. I would highly recommend these palettes.
