Product Review: Avon True Color Matte Eyeshadow Quad in On the Vine

Avon has a new matte eyeshadow quad due to be released with their new Matte True Color Lipsticks in Campaign 5. I decided to take advantage of the early opportunity to buy two quads. The first quad that I tried is On the Vine which I wore to work today. So far, I'm loving it! I usually use Mac's eye shadows. Honestly, I have over $500 worth of eye shadows only, mainly from Mac and a few from Bobbi Brown, Lancome, Makeup Essentials and a few old Mark eye shadows that need to be tossed due to age but majority of the stock is Mac. I own their palettes as well as individual eye shadows. I was very skeptical about the Avon True Color Eyeshadow Quad due mainly to pigmentation. I often feel like I need a little more work to make a color pop. I've noticed a lot of women use the NYX jumbo sticks to lighten their lid so color can easily transfer and appear. Well, I didn't do that with this quad. I needed to see exactly how it would appear. I'm quite the minimalist so less is always more in my book. I used a little Avon eye primer under the eyeshadow and then proceeded to work. The eyeshadows went on effortlessly! I didn't have to build or dampen the eyeshadow brush to get good coverage. It was easy to blend and only took about five minutes to get my complete look. This will definitely be a staple product to keep in the purse for a quick routine. I've attached pictures for your viewing. Let me know what you think (excuse the hair: wash day)! If you'd like to purchase or view more colors, click here or contact me with any questions.
