Recently, Avon launched four new True Color eyeshadow quads. All four quads are neutral and beautiful, and designed to be the perfect nude palettes for various skin tones. I will say right off the top that I am loving all of these new quads, and I really love that Avon has incorporated some color in with the neutrals as well!
The first quad is
Naked Truth. This is the palest of the new quads and designed for light skin tones. Color #1 is
Shimmering Beige and is a shimmering cream color with really good pigmentation. This color makes a really brow bone and inner corner color. Color #2 is
Peach Sparkle, which is a pale peach with a satin finish and not much sparkle. This color is the least pigmented of the quad, but it's still pretty decent. Depending on the look you're going for it could make a good lid color or a blending/transition color for the crease. Color #3 is
Glimmering Sand. This shade is a warm shimmering beige with a tiny hint of micro-fine champagne glitters in it. I like to use this color all over the lid if I'm doing a quick neutral look, and in the crease as a transition color for smokey eyes. Color #4 is
Coffee, and is a gorgeous medium neutral shimmering brown.
The next quad is
Barely There. This one was designed for light/medium skin tones. Color #1 is
Soft Vanilla, and is a matte vanilla shadow with really good pigmentation. This one makes is a nice brow bone highlight color. Color #2 is
Rose. This a matte, neutral pink shade. I love this color in the crease as a transitional color. Color #3 is
Satin Taupe, which is a neutral taupe with some shimmer to it. This is a great all over lid color. Color #4 is
Cool Coccoa, and is a dark neutral brown with a satin finish. The pigmentation of all four shades in this palette is really good.
The next quad is
Go Natural, and is designed for medium skin tones. Color #1 is
Shimmering Beige. This is the same color as the lightest shadow in the Naked Truth quad. Color #2 is
Shimmering Stone. This shadow is a warm shimmering brown with golden undertones to it. I feel like this shadow is the least pigmented in this quad, but it's easily built up. Color #3 is
Radiant Orange. This is a vibrant reddish-orange with a hint of shimmer to it. Very pigmented! This is one of my favorite colors from all of these new quads. Color #4 is
Burnt Brown, and is a matte deep brown with plum undertones.
The last quad is
Grin and Bare It. This one is designed for deeper skin tones. Color #1 is
Bronzed. This shade is a golden bronze with a metallic finish. REALLY pretty all over lid color! Color #2 is
Burnished Copper. This is a medium reddish brown with a satin finish. Color #3 is
Patina, which is kind of an antique brass with greenish undertones and golden shimmer to it. Color #4 is
Sahara Sunset, a deep cool brown with a satin finish and fine golden glitters here and there. This color is the least pigmented from this palette. I feel like this palette as a whole is a tiny bit less pigmented than the other quads, but all of the colors are easy to build up and blend.
Overall, I'm really impressed with the new additions to the True Color quad range. Though they were designed with certain skin tones in mind I think that most people would be able to use all of the colors in some way. Definitely give these new shadows from Avon a try if you are looking for some new neutrals!
