My Experience with Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Quad Lights Out:

The quad comes in a rectangular black-colored plastic palette with a see-through lid. The clear lid helps to easily spot the shade from makeup stash if you own more than one of these eyeshadows. The brand name is embossed on the lid. The brand is cruelty free, so this tagline is also mentioned on the top. The palette is easily stackable. The lid fits very securely with an audible click and making this palette travel friendly. The palette does not contain any mirror or sponge applicator like most of the eyeshadow quads. This is not a huge concern for me, as I never use those small applicators. Some product-related information is printed at the back of the palette. Overall, the packaging is nice and travel friendly.

“Lights Out” is a beautiful combination of gorgeous eyeshadows for creating a heavy smoky eye looks. The shades are beautiful for creating party eye makeup look. This palette has really interesting color combination. This is not a daytime palette. It is suitable to be worn for evening parties or night outs. The palette comes with 4 shades of eye shadows, each of which is designated a particular purpose. There is a transition color, a brow bone color, a crease color and an eyelid color. Now, let us discuss each shade one by one.

Wet n Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Quad Lights Out all shades

1. Transition: The top-most shade in the palette is the only perfect matte shade, which is totally devoid of any shimmer. It is a pretty taupe eyeshadow, which would show up on most of the skin tones easily. This makes it a unique transition shade.

2. Brow bone: This is the second shade in the palette. This is a highlighting color. The color is more like a silvery white kind of shade, which looks chalky on my skin tone. I do not really like this shade for Indian skin tones for highlighting the brow bone. This looks nice for highlighting the inner corner of the eyes but it is over powering as a brow bone highlighter.

3. Crease: This is the darkest of all. This shade is a perfect charcoal black eyeshadow. Though it is not shimmery, it is not totally matte either. There are some sparse silver shimmer in this eye shadow, but the shimmers are too less in number and do not impart shimmery finish to the eyeshadow. It is a beautiful crease color for defining the crease. It looks lovely when it is used on the outer corner of the eyes.

4. Eyelid: This shade is a beautiful shimmery forest green color. This is good to be applied all over the lid. The shimmers are too finely milled and give this eyeshadow a beautiful sheen. Such greens look really nice when used to create a smoky eye look.

The texture of these eyeshadows is super soft and smooth. The smooth formula is super easy to blend. It blends effortlessly and does not look chalky. They do not feel powdery or patchy but there is a little fall out issue with the transition shade. The formula is lightweight and feels comfortable on the eyes. There are no creasing issues with this eyeshadow. All the shades in this palette are easily buildable. Each shade is decently pigmented and gives a rich opaque color in just one swipe. So, applying the eyeshadow with a light hand is advisable. These eye shadows have a soft sheen in their own which prevents them from looking muddy or ashy. The colors in the palette are non chalky but there is a little fallout, which needs to be cleaned for a finished and polished look. The eye shadow does not have creasing issues. They stay in place and the shimmers do not budge at all.

The eye shadow lasts for approximately 5-6 hours on my eyelids easily. So, using an eye primer underneath will definitely enhance the longevity of the product. The eye shadow is easy to remove with a good eye makeup remover and the shimmers get removed easily without much effort.
