This had to be the worst color combination ever by Revlon.I love 99% of their makeup,but this by far couldn't work for me.The colors were all too light & shimmery to even guess which shade went where.Huge disappointment.I should've just went with the reviews,but sometimes I can work a little magic to make it work,this noway~

I am in LOVE with these Eyeshadow Quads by Revlon! I have 3 Quads which are Copper Spice, Coffee Bean and Starlight. However, I have to say that Starlight is by far the lowest quality and the biggest disappointment of the 3.


I initially had reservations about buying these eyeshadows because of the shimmer they had. The 2 darker Quads go on without as much sparkle (I use Copper Spice and Coffee Bean every day), but Starlight is horrible! I feel like a 12 year old when I wear this stuff, even if it's just for highlights and the eye corners..


The Quads are very pigmented for a DS brand, but these light colors barely show up on my very pale skin. I think the reason the sparkle is so noticeable is because I have to use so much of it to make it show up. All 4 shades are almost the same as well.. The eyeshadows blend easily and really do last all day. Theres no smudging and very little fading, if any. That's why I gave this a 2 instead of a 1.


If you are considering buying one of the Colorstay Quads, pick a different set and it will be worth it.

Found these on sale. I love the colors, they are to be used with darker shades as highliters. Cheap packaging but I'd buy this again because I love the shades and they are long lasting.

I thought the colors would work well as highlighters, so I tried them. All of the colors look very similar and they go on chalky. I have oily lids and the colors would crease after about an hour! Overall, not a very good quality product.

People, try these eyeshadows over a dark eyeliner. Nearly every brand makes one of this type of quad and I'm surprised that not everyone knows how to use them. These are meant to punch up darker colors, not really to be worn on their own.

Love the other colorstay eyeshadow quads, BUT these were too light. All the colors came out too light and white on my lids.

I got this at a sale at Rite Aid. The colors do look really nice in the packaging, but the colors are very light on my eyes. I have a problem with fall outs, lots of it. A couple of the shadows have less glitters in them. Any of the shadows would work as a highlight for the brow bone, a brightening wash of color on the lid, or even a highlight on the cheeks. I just thought of that and it actually looks nice!

These colours don't really work together. It's basically four highlighters in one palette. The pigmentation is pretty good though.

I love using this starlight quad daily but i only use these colors for highlighting. I got these dirt cheap at rite aid for $1.74 because of their 75% off sale, so i stocked up on them. There's no trace of glitter when i apply it on. It just goes on smooth giving a shimmery kind of glowing effect that really brightens my eyes. I love it and im glad i stocked up so much for backup.

I really like this product! I am a natural faced make up type of gal, so I don't wear dramatic colors. This is a great neutral quad in which the colors are typically the same with different undertones. The eyeshadows are smooth and are satin, no glitter chunkiness which is a definite plus.

These were 75% off at Rite Aid, so they were only lke $1.75, plus I had a $2 off coupon, so they were free. I thought it'd be a perfect quad to brighten up my eyes, and I LOVED the colors in the pan, but I applied them and they all came up sheer and almost white. I use them every so often as highlighters, but I'm pretty disappointed in them all together.

These colors are very sheer and hardly noticable. They all make great highlighters, but I didn't expect that when I bought the quad. These are great shades, however, to wear when you want to look natural. And very natural, as if you aren't wearing any makeup but still want that bright eyed look. I was disappointed though. Wouldn't recommend it.

This is one of the few makeup items I've bought that I disliked so much, I actually threw it away. Total waste of money. All the colors look exactly alike, and they go on way too sheer. The texture of these Colorstay quads is also strange. I've bought three, thinking it'll be better but they are all alike, very sheer with that weird texture. Instead of buying this quad, buy a single high quality eyeshadow like Vex from MAC. It will actually show on your skin.

This is a very ethereal "bright/light" eyes quad. I wouldn't recommend this unless one likes pastels/all over lid colors because essentially that is what it is.


Overall the results from this quad is very eye opening so it's great for tired or lazy mornings to give that awake look. With this said, highlight shades can look similar to eachother, with 4 highlight colors in a quad.. I suggest using a creamy base to bring the colors out to it's full potential. I haven't really had a problem of them all seeming white on me though. "Starlight" isn't particularly special but it is nice to have this type of look in one compact (it's not a quad color combo commonly found in a drugstore). You can also swirl your blush brush over all 4 shades for a cheek highlighter too, this quad is versatile on the go in my opinion.


I give it 4 lippies because 3 of the shades are a bit glittery and the last color is a bit stubborn to work it (it can easily look like the first shade unless you work on it a bit, I'd give this quad a 5 honestly if the last color was a tad darker). If you're looking for something with a bit more color but want a clean-fresh look, I recommend the "In the Buff" Colorstay quad which is the more matte and slightly darker version of this.

I personally love this quad! Now I was a little disappointed with the colors at first, but I after saw a photo of myself with "starlight" on I was amazed at how it had brightened my face! It looked like how used to image ballerina makeup would look. And surprisingly enough on my cool PPP skin I see a difference between colors on my eye.*iz bizzare*
So if you like ethereal type looks I would definitely recommend this! Plus like all of the other colorstay eyeshadows this stuff lasts all through the day, and with minimal creasing.

I actually like this quad. I see a very, very subtle difference in the colors on me. I will add that I only do an all-over wash for eyes most of the time, and this quad works well for that. I like the fact that is has just a hint of shimmer, but not too much like many other shadows suitable for my quick, *only have 2 minutes for makeup and no patience for mistakes* face. It also works well as a browbone highlighter in the very rare event I actually use a deeper color on my lids.

So, if you want a real quad to do the classic 3 color eye with, skip over this. But if you like a wash yet get bored of the same exact color every day, you might like this. Only $4.19 at Kmart, and sometimes it is B1G1F...so pretty cheap too.

While the colors are gorgeous in the container, they just didn't want to register on my lids, even with a shadow base. All the colors went on as white; MUCH too pale and shimmery. Back to Ulta it goes...

Sadly, this product looks great in the package, but on my eyes it looks like a very pale, shimmery white. I really like the rest of their eye shadow line (have just about every one except for the green moss and blue one). I highly recommend the other colors but can't recommend this one. If you want a few shimmery, pale white colors to use with other eye shadows, then you might like this. I don't like combining too many things (especially shimmery)-looks kind of cheap and amateurish on me.

In the package, and even on my wrist - it looks amazing.
but on my eyes, like the other reviewers said,
plain white. even the shimmers look dull.
I was so so so so disappointed - waste of money.

However, I found a pretty descent use for it..(I guess)
as a highlighter on my eyes, or on top on eyeshadows,
makes my eyes look brighter.

apart from that, no use.
