I can't do a tut, camera is on the fritz. However, I (who usually avoid blues like the plague) have really liked the blue in the sweetie cake quad. So far I have paired it with - The pink in the quad on the inner lid, Apricot Pink pig over that and in the crease and brow bone and the blue (sugar blue) on the outer 2/3 of the lid. Almond Icing to highlight Black track fluid liner on the upper lid, Ultra chill to line the bottom. Also, Sugar Blue on the inner 2/3 of the lid, Budding Beauty on the outer third and in the crease, and a light reflecting/light pink to highlight (mine was one of my hand mixed concoctions). I also used it with a number of pinks and it looks great with them. If you look it has a pink reflect in it. Hope that at least gets your juices going.

When I had my makeover, I had my MA use all of the colors in the quad:

inner lid: pink
outer lid: blue
crease: purple
highlight: color on top left

I didn't buy the quad. It did look pretty the day I had it done, but the purple dye and my eyes don't like each other.

I've worn it two ways so far:
1) This one was kind of hard to blend the blue into the purple though. Inner eye: pink which I extended a little bit into crease, Lid: blue, Crease: purple, browbone highlight: grayish color
2) Tonight I did the grayish color on the inner eye and browbone, the pink on the lid, the blue on the lower lashline, and blacktrack fluidline to line the top.

I love the colors but they really don't flatter me for some reason. :/

This is how I've used the quad recently (I have some pics up on the FOTD thread)...

I use Gracious me s/s as a base
- The blue in the inner corner and to line the waterline
- The purple on the outer 2/3 of my lid
- The pink in the crease and a wash over the other two colors to blend and make it sort of glowy
- the greyish white to highlight
- then I use peacocked glitter pencil to line uppper lids as it sort of brings the blue in the inner corner and waterline together.
- I also like using iris accents glitter pencil below my waterline as a lower line to sort of bring out the purple....
