    Omggg. i would totally wear the bottom right color as the highlighter on the brow bone & a little in the inner corner of my eye.
    then… the top left on the middle on the lid & and little touch on the lower lash line. and then finish off with a nice blend of the two brown and green in the crease.
    LOVES IT! gimme gimmmmmme 🙂

    I’d wear it often!

    Specifically, I’d do inner corner with the Champagne shade, Khaki in the outer corner and crease and the matte Brown as a liner.

    Very impressed with the D&G products you’ve been showing us.

    The gold color would def. go all over the lid, and the green would be in the outer corner of my eye sorta seeping inwards.
    The brown would be used for my eyebrows or to line my lower lashline and give that faded out look to it.
    The beige would be the highlight and it would seep in from the inner corners.
    I really really really like this quad!!!!!

    In every. way. possible! This quad is beautifuuul!!! And gawd knows I love me some golds…hmmm here are a couple of combos I can think of:

    1. Highlight on lid, Brown to line
    2. Highlight on inner corner, Gold on lid, Brown to line and on crease
    3. Brown on lid, Gold on tear duct, Highlight to, um, highlight
    4. Highlight on inner corner + highlight, Khaki on lid, Brown to line
    5. Blended green and gold on lid and brown to deepen crease

    Basta! That’s enough brainstorming for now. I’ll probably have makeup dreams!

    THAT IS PURELY BEAUTIFUL.

    Amber color = lid
    Chocolate brown color = crease/outer v
    Vanilla color = highlight
    Forest Green = bottom lashline

    hmm lets see i would take the following approach
    champagne on the inner corner blending into the gold right in the center of the lid then blending the gold to the green in the outer v

    i would then blend some of the brown in the crease (gentle paws of course cause it looks really dark) and then lightly blend some of the green in the outer v upwards and towards the crease over the brown

    champagne color under the brow bone and blend that downwards toward the colors in the crease

    wow that wiped me out just writing it lol

    Hahahaha – I wouldn’t, unless D&G could lower that pricetag! I’d hate to see the look on the husband’s face if he found out I spent that much on eyeshadow! (We all know it’s hard enough for boys to understand the necessity of spending $15 on it sometimes….)

    I’m not impressed about this green shade….other colors are beautiful. A quad must give me only amazing colors to deserve these money

    I would ear the vanilla shade on the inside 1/3, the green on the outer 2/3 & on the lower lash line, and the brown in the crease & lower lash line. I don’t like amber colours on me so I would skip that one.

    All in all I’m not overwhelmed by the D&G makeup – I could change my mind about that if I could test it in person.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
