Hard Candy Mod Quad in Brownie Points

Hard Candy’s blushes kick some serious butt and although I love there blush's I have not tried too much of the brand. Why? I don’t really know. Let’s call it a makeup mystery.

The first thing I wanted to try on the long list of products was the baked shadow set.

Brownie Points seemed like an easy to wear bronzy quad and let’s down play it just looks stunning.

Where do we start with this one? 

Well the packaging is nice, durable and compact. I could imagine this quad would be easy to travel with. 

The shadows...

My perfect eye shadow is, non-fussy, buttery, pigmented and easy to blend. It’s the kind of shadow that you can throw on your eye and with a little blending it looks seamless. This pallet did not bring that ease of application to me. I can honestly say that all four colours were hard to pick up on a brush, lacked pigment and were hard to blend. Hard Candy explains you can use these wet and from swatches online they look better wet. However this whole wetting the brush routine seems like an impractical added step considering there are better shadows without the extra effort out there.

If you were looking for highly pigmented beautiful shadows at a similar price point I would highly recommend the Wet n Wild. Unfortunately the Hard Candy Quad in Brownie Points as beautiful as it is does not have my stamp of approval. 

Have you tried this quad, what do you think?
