What a breath of fresh air! This is the only matte quad I could find in the entire drugstore. It has a downy, blendable texture and a sheer-to-medium finish that is versatile for light AND dark skin tones. The four shades provide options for outlining the crease, lining the eye, defining the underbrow area, highlighting the brow bone, or just creating a soft, universal wash of color on the lid. The workable colors include a brown-toned gray, a rich brown, a light fawn, and an ultra-light beige-sand.

Once again, an insurpassbable eyeshadow quad--If I could give it 6 lipsticks, I would.

definite staple for me! this is great because for work because it has no shimmer... it seems like all the cosmetic companies are pooring glitter into their products and it gets real old, real quick! this shadow is perfectly and utterly matte and glitter free! love it!

I use this every day. It's so great. It's as good as the expensive stuff. If you are looking for the perfect neutral palette, this is the one.

I can't live without this shadow. It is so pretty & neutral. I am nearly 40 so no shine & shimmer for me!! This is great. I often use some other darker brown in the crease for more definition on top of these colors. I love the texture, the way it stays & stays- doesn't wear off!! That is amazing for powder shadow!

Absolutely LOVE it...I've pretty much stopped wearing any other shadows...planning to sell the rest on ebay. And SO-O-O cheap. Soft, nicely matte without being drying, doesn't crease, lasts forever. I really love the neutral brown selection as well as the Canyon Classic.

The absolute BEST matte shadows out there, I can't believe I've spent so much time and money on other shadows when this was right under my nose in the drugstore the whole time! Lasts long, great colors, great application, GREAT price! Another good thing is that the quads come in shimmery shades also if you like that sort of thing.

Nice, but didn't knock my socks off. Good sponge applicator. I'm a sucker for those evanescent Christian Dior matte shadows (gone but not forgotten) and these are a bit dry in comparision.

This is a nice, basic neutral quad. The shadows are matte, but don't appear chalky. They blend well, and are perfect for creating a subtle, everyday eye look.

This is my HG eye shadow. I try others but always return to this.

The quality is outstanding. Pigmented, neutral shades that last all day. Great texture and blends well.

Excellent for a natural eye look. Such a great value. Highly recommended!

I absolutely love these shadows. They're good-quality, long-lasting, subtle and sophisticated neutrals that I use during the week for my work look. Not a hint of shimmer (although the same colors are also available in a shimmery collection). I'm not thrilled with the container, but the sponge-tip applicator is actually worth using. I agree with the reviewer who said she'd like to see PF make these shadows in separate pots.

I love this quad! Incredibly enough, I just found this two weeks ago!?!? I find these colors to be high quality,smooth,pigmented shadows that last a long time and are great for an every day,understated look.(actually, that's my main look haha).I have started gravitating towards mattes due to my 43 year old eyes getting a little bit crepey,and the price is fabulous,for when I can't afford my higher end stuff.

This is my eyeshadow staple. This quad is the epitome of neutral and it should work well for everyone. I am an MMM with black hair and brown eyes This quad includes four shades of brown:
French Vanilla-the lightest shade great for highligting under the brow bone, Taupe-a taupe brown color great for all over the lid or for the crease and outer corner,
Sand Beige- a sandy brown shade excellent for all over the lid and Pewter-a dark brown that is good for lining the eye and also for the crease and outer corner of the eye to create a dramatic look. I use this a lot during the week for work. This eye shadows last a long time. These are totally matte with not a hint of shimmer but I was glad to see that all the PF quads also now come in a shimmer version which I cannot wait to try.

I love this quad and agree with everything the other reviewer said. These shadows really LAST, too. And they look very natural.

I have been using this Physicians Formual Quad eye shadow collection for at least a couple of years. I started using this long before I developed my taste for department store cosmetic counters. Despite many purchases of eye shadow since then I keep returning again and again to this as my eye shadow staple. There are 4 matte colors - French vanilla, Taupe, Sand Beige and Pewter. With these 4 colors I can do every look from casual to nighttime dramatic. The colors also work well to fill in my eye brows. I have wished many times that Physicians Formula would sell each of these colors individually since I use up two out of the four colors (the french vanilla and the sand beige) much more quickly than the rest. I love these colors and live in fear of Physicians Formula discontinuing this product. Just in case I have accumulated a few extras to carry me through. Each quad lasts me longer than a year and usually the plastic top breaks off before I have gotten down to the bottom of the eye shadows. When they start to look too old or worn I toss what's left of them and begin with a new one. This also comes with a good applicator -
very unusual for any drugstore product. If I was marooned on a desert island this eye shadow container (along with some mascara) would be the only one I would take with me.
