Recently, I learned a tip from La Prairie's Color Ambassador, Raychel Wade. It's so obvious, yet so incredibly true. She says:
When it comes to eye shadow quads, don't feel pressured to use all four colors in a quad at once. Sometimes eye makeup looks just a pretty with one simple hue.
Like I said before, it's obvious, yes. However, this got me to thinking about my own habits. For some reason or another, I feel pressure to use most — if not all — colors in my own multishadow palettes. I suppose I feel like they're all there for a reason, working in perfect harmony, you dig? What about you: do you work with all of the shades in your quads, or do just use one simple hue?

depends on the look i'm trying to get! but i often use them together, since it's quick and easy. no worries about whether the colors work well with each other.
1it depends. sometimes I use one or two of the colors, and sometimes all of them.
2Sometimes I'll just use a lighter shade by itself, sometimes I'll go ahead and add a darker color for some smokyness, and sometimes I'll go ahead and pile them all on. It really does depend.
3Not always
4I'm other it depends on what look I'm going for.
5I'll use one or two, but never more. If I do use more I look ridiculous! I do wish I could pull it off though.
6I only purchase one shade at a time
7yes i do..
...but i do use some shade more than others
8I usually use one or two at a time. Occassionally more if I'm trying to go for a more dramatic look.
9I usually only use three colors at a time.
10I almost always use all colors, and sometimes leave one off - never thought to limit this to just one or two.
11Sometimes yes, and sometimes no - it depends on the look i'm going for.
12Forget the makeup, I want the enjoy a millionaire lifestyle.
, but most of the time I find that the colors of a look I'm going for are all separated for some reason.
13But seriously, now that I think about it, I almost never do. It's not to be a rebel
I usually wear the lighter colors by themselves, and then if I need a darker or more dramatic look, I'll use the other colors. I normally wear 2-3 eye shadows at a time, but their almost never part of the same quad.
I wish quads gave a more of the lighter color and less of the darker colors since I always run out of the light color before I'm halfway through the darks! Argh!
14I use 3 everytime. I usually end up running out of the middle color since I use it over most of my eye and then have to go buy that color in a one pack. I use the lightest just under the brow and the darkest at the outer corner.
