Review: Chanel Kaska Beige Eyeshadow Quad
January 13, 2010 3 Comments
I adore Chanel but I’ve never had the guts to actually splurge on their quads before. However, this spring’s amazing quad has drawn me in! Help!
I mean, just look at the abuse I’ve put that compact through already! Oh, it’s beautiful. I wear it daily. The shades are lovely–there’s a matte beige /cream, and a matte medium brown. There are two beautiful shimmery/satiny (more satiny than shimmery) shades in a dark lovely plum and a light golden brown. Ahhh, my heart is faint for it!

The colors are lovely, the formula is very finely milled and just blend like butter. They make the perfect neutral eye looks, but with a bit of interest in the lovely warm golden brown shade and especially in the plummy brown dark shade.
Even though it is a bit pricy at $54, I think it’s completely worth it as it’ll last you forever. It’s a very good every day quad, and I’ve been using it daily for almost two weeks now. I just can’t help it! I love it so!
Overall Verdict: A-
It’s an amazing quad but the price is a bit steep, though worth every penny.
Here’s a look I’ve done with it, as well as more swatches.

Thanks for not just swatching the colors but also showing a look. I’m a slightly darker Asian (adopted from Thailand) and I applied the colors dry, light, in a “western” application style – highlighter all over, medium on lid, matte medium in crease, and dark in the outer corners) and was a bit disappointed that the effect wasn’t visible. It was a Christmas gift from my SIL and I felt so guilty for her having splurged on this but I like the tonal effect on you and hope it will work on me too. I have the European market version with the round pots. Your compact looks so much more enticing.
You’re welcome. I really love this quad and I hope that my swatches and look were of help. I have another look done with this quad:

Hope that helps you get more use out of your quad!
