Drama eyes is a verry nice eyeshadow palette. It contains: a shimmery white-gold,a shimmery black,a shimmery silver,a shimmery burgundy-rose. It goes really well on the application,it last fairly long. It shows on the eyes like a satin,and the shimmers are verry soft! The final result of the look is georgous! Love it!

Absolutely love this quad!!! Thank you EmilyNoel from youtube for telling me about this. The cranberry color alone makes this worth the money (so affordable) and it makes my hazel colored eyes pop!

I too purchased this because of EmilyNoel83 on youtube and at first was not sure about the combination of colors or how they would blend together but I LOVE this quad! I just wore it for the first time today and am loving the smoky eye look with a cranberry and silver twist it gives you. I have so many other eyeshadows too, but I find each one can give me an individual look and this one is no exception.

This is one of CG's better quads with all 4 shades being useful. Especially that fabulous 4th color, which is a richly pigmented Cranberry Shimmer - a dupe for MAC Cranberry!! It makes the kit worth it for this shade alone. But every other color is useful too. The 1st color is a golden white which is a pigmented sheer with glistening gold and aqua shimmers. Perfect for highlighting brow bone. 2nd is a soft sheer black subtle glistening gold and aqua shimmers. I sometime use this to fill brows, or wet-line eyes. The 3rd on is a pigmented semi-sheer silver with subtle pink shimmers. I like this for highlighting the tear duct because it is pigmented and shows up well.

I cannot conceive of a world without this e/s quad in it. And I've only had this for one day so far.
I've been hemming and hawing over whether to get this or not, true...I could return it, but I have a 2 year old so it's hard enough to get to the drugstore to purchase something let alone go back to take something back. Ok, I'm exagerating....
This quad is very pigmented, but not freakishly so. And the colors just go so well together and they really make me look put together. EmilyNoel83 on youtube raves about this all the time and it looks great on her, and it looks great on me! It will probably look great on most people. LOVE IT!
EDIT: I have found better Palettes than this. Wish Wet n Wild would bring back the Vanity palette. :(

Strangely enough:

Canada DOES sell Covergirl, but it doesn't sell certain quads, this is one of the quads that Covergirl only sells in the U.S.

I went down to seattle and was super excited so i picked one up at target for about 4.00 which was awesome because the quads usually sell for around 7.00 here, in B.C.

Every shade was pigmented, except for the silver was more a shimmer then anything else but still super pretty for a lid shade.

I was interested in getting drama eyes ever since I saw emilynoel83 talk about it in so many of her videos.

So ive been waiting for a long time and here it is! Gorgeous palette definitely a must have! I wear a primer underneith for staying power but other then that this is a great buy

Wish covergirl would update their packaging though, but oh well i guess packaging isn't everything.

Not so hot. In the brown eyes kit, the gold and black colors are nicely pigmented but in the other two the color is inadequate. It makes my eyes stand out, but in all honesty, any gold or silver eyeshadow will.

Out of all the CG products I have used in my lifetime, this was the only one to cause a severe allergic reaction. I believe it came from the burgundy shade, I will have to check the ingredients and update this when I know what caused the reaction. This palette is nicely pigmented for making a smoky eye, and I had a friend that was coveting it, so I passed it on to her and she loves it.

EDIT: It was the bismuth oxychloride. I can't use some MMU's for this exact ingredient.

The black eyeshadow has poor pigmentation, but I use it to fill in my eyebrows and it doesn't make my brows too dark. The shimmer doesn't come up in my brows. The shimmery white has decent pigmentation- I use it to highlight my cupid's bow. I use this quad for these aspects everyday. I like it, but I don't find it to be the holy grail of cheap eyeshadows.

this eyeshadow is really good for the "smokey eyes" look. it's great that it comes with a white as well.

i reallyyy like this quad! the main reason i bought it was because i needed a shimmery white and (as almost everyone below me has said) the beautiful burgundy color! both are really pigmented and lovely! if i want a really simple look, i will put the white all over my lid and the burgundy in my outer corner/crease. i tried using the black as a liner, but even if i wet the brush, the color wasn't dark enough. the main reason why i take off 1 lippie is because of the silver! mine might as well have been clear because that what it looks like on my finger for a swatch! awful! i know that other quads aren't like this because i have swatched a friends and on hers the silver was just as pigmented as the white and burgundy! so im sad that i got a bad quad, but the rest of the colors are awesome! will definitely rebuy! (hopefully the re bought one will have a better silver!)

Overall, I've been really impressed with CG e/s quads lately. I've been trying to get the whole collection because the colors are amazing, the pigmentation has been great and they stay forever when you use a primer and a colored base.

This one fell short of my expectations though. The only color I really like in this quad is the silver. I used all colors in the quad a few days ago and found that the silver, "black" and white shades make a nice smokey eye, but adding the maroon color COMPLETELY ruins the look. It looked like I had a strange skin disease and had inflamed brow bones. Yuck!

I will keep trying to use the maroon color, but I've found that these shades don't fare well on my skintone.

I'm in love with the shimmery colors. Although the silver and the white begin to wear off quickly, they look amazing if you continue to reapply throughout the day. The redish color and the black and adequately pigmented, though the red is the best color in the kit. I will definitely buy again!

Some Cover Girl products aren't bad at all, but I really didn't like this pallet. The colors were overall chalky and poorly pigmented. The redish color looked sorta nice in the package, but it turns into a rather unbecoming red/brown color on my skin. I was hoping for some nice intense looks with the black, white, silver and red but really only find myself using the silver.

Only buy if you need some eyeshadows to just play with. I'd never wear this out someplace nice.

Of the 4 shades, the one I use most often is the black one (pretty much daily). I wet the sponge applicator with water and use the black shade under my lower lashes for a "smoky" look, and after using a beige shade on my lids (Cover Girl Shimmering Sands middle shade), I sweep the black over that. I apply it wet to keep it from flaking on my cheek and under eye, plus it gives it more sheen) This is the only black shadow I have that looks soft and not overdone on my fair skin (naybe because it's slightly shimmery). I use the other 3 shades occasionally but will repurchase this quad just for the black shade alone.

oh my gosh.... NEVER have I had to remove my makeup at the beginning of the day after i applied it and put on something else. This quad is the absolute worst i have ever used........ the red is horrendous, the other colors are chalky and dont blend well. maybe they just look bad on my green eyes but i have no idea why i bought this in the first place. i had to wash off all my eye makeup to put on another color AFTER I tried blending and putting other colors to make it look at least decent, but that did not work! i dont reccommend girls!

This 4 kit is a great buy! The burgundy I don't use very much, only because I personally don't care for it. The silver & white is very shimmery (when on lightly not that seen). The black is also shimmery, (not that dark when on) if looking for a matte finish I wouldn't recommend buying this eye shadow kit. It is thou great if you like the shimmer<3 I would buy again.

This is such a beautiful quad. Like the previous reviewers have aready stated, the burgandy is the true winner here. It's so pigmented, and gorgeous I would just repurchasing this quad for the burgandy alone. I like the other colors too though. The black is good for eyeliner, or the crease. The silver is nice, but it's more shiny than anything, and the white color doesn't show up much. All in all it's a good quad. Will repurchase!

I'm so happy drugstore brands are improving the quality of their shadows. The red in this quad is unbelievable! It's smooth and pigmented. The other shades are good as well, but the red shade is the star! One of the best quads from Cover Girl. Definitely a must have!

I love the burgundy colour. it's very nice. i use the black colour with an eyeliner brush as eyeliner instead of an actual pencil liner. it looks softer and has a tiny bit of shimmer. the white colour doesn't really show up unless you pack it on and use a primer. the silver is nice, but nothing special, very glittery and good to wear over a colour to make it shiny.
