Your Custom Quads! :)

[millux]

Hi guys!

I'm quite new to MAC & I just bought/made up my first quad!

It's Ricepaper, Woodwinked, Bronze & Amber Lights.. It's not the best but it's my first one, ok? ;P I'm loving it so far~

So, what quads have you come up with/what are your favourites? I want to buy more! Moooore!

I keep all my eyeshadows in 15-palettes. I only have one quad I made and that includes Gesso, Solar White, Blanc Type and Creme de Miel, a.k.a my highlight colours and my white shade

Oh, a lot of people use the 15 dont they? ): I'm a complete newbie so I use the quads to keep my shadows in order.. I'd get too confused with a 15 lol

Thank you for replying!

Yes, a lot of people organize their single e/s in 15 pan palettes sorted by colours (blues, purples, neutrals,...).

You can see some great palettes here:

The Traincase - Specktra.Net

No worries, you don't need them all

The quads are great for travelling with your fave e/s I think.

Thanks for the link, Susanne! Ohh - I feel a little MAC addiction coming on! I think I might have to work my way up to a bigger palette~

I have a few homemade quads:

homemade BADA - Vapour, Rose, Beauty Marked, Soba
homemade Colour Scheme 2 - Quarry, Decorator Pink, Trax, Beauty Marked
Lingerie - Sunday Best, Idol Eyes, Slip Pink, and Flirty Number
Lure - Sea Myth, Mancatcher, Waternymph, and Aquavert
Moonbathe - Claire De Lune, Cosmic, Cranberry, and Saturnal
Neo Sci-Fi - Femme Fi, Expensive Pink, Time & Space, and Magnetic Fields

I used to have an Emanuel Ungaro and Style Warrior, but I really didn't like the colors used together or the colors together in the quad. :c

Thanks so much to everyone for replying! I have lots of ideas now & cannot wait to expand my collection!

I keep a quad in my bag in case I am out and about without makeup on and I decide I need some... it happens. Currently it's The dark purple from Stack 1, Softwash grey, Quietly and Lovely Lily all pressed pigments. That's my current everyday eyeshadow.

I have several e/s that lay around individually, but the ones in my quad are Satin Taupe, Woodwinked, Tempting, and Smoke and Diamonds.... as long as I bring a black e/s along with this quad, I have easy smokey eye material

I actually like your 1st quad!

hehes. I have rice paper & not the others

I have mine in pots just because i think it's cuter, I know i'll succumb to depotting 1 fine day! hahas The only quads i have are the LEs.

Just curious can you B2M eyeshadow pans? Or just pots?

 

[Ode to Joy]

I have one custom made that I made for a weekend trip and good much use out of it, I can see myself using this quad a lot more... it contains Blanc Type, Shroom, Smoke&Diamonds and Knight Divine!

 

[Senoj]

I have 1 quad that I came up with that is neutral and good for everyday wear. It's ricepaper, saddle, sketch and satin taupe.

 

[karut]

Right now I have a smokey eyes quad. It has Electra, Silver Ring, Satin Taupe and Black Tied. I just wished it was a quint(?) cause a highlight would have been great. But I change the two quads I have constantly, I find them really convenient to bring on trips and stuff.

 

[RandomnessWithK]

the only quads i have since i got rid of my custom quads (because i prefer the 15 palette) are the pre-made ones (like spiced chocolate quad.. etc)..

but i think your first quad is a great choice! i think the quads are great if you want to take whatever e/s you have and touch up.. but with what i do - i have no time to touch up anything lol.. and i like how the 15 palettes are in my make-up collection.

 

[purrtykitty]

I've got a couple custom quads - a purple one, a bronze one, and some ones with random colors. I use them mainly for travel and overspill (when I run out of room in a 15-pan palette until a get a new one), so the shadows are always being swapped out.

 

[amber_j]

Your quad sounds nice!

I only have one custom quad which holds my evening/smokey eye shades: electra, silver ring, pandemonium, carbon. As these didn't really go with the colour schemes in my 15-pan palettes I decided to store them separately.

 

[Lyssah]

I have a few quads, but my favorite ones are;

1. Bio Green, Bright Sunshine, Blue Calm, Knight Divine
2. Motif, Naked Lunch, Ricepaper, Expensive Pink
3.Shale, Pantina, Black Tied, Smut
4. Sky Blue, Bottle Green, Alantic Blue, Kelly eyeshadow.
5. Travel Quad 1:Dazzelight, Woodwinked, Satin Taupe and Brun.
6. Travel Quad 2: Stars 'n Rockets, Parfait Amour, Shimmermoss, and Freshwater.

The travel ones are duplicates of my favorite eyeshadows.

The rest aren't the best combinations, but I am a pot person anyway and only get pallets if there is no other option.
