MAC Eyeshadow Quad Suggestions?

[paigeelizabeth]

I am new to using eyeshadow and I want to create a MAC quad that I will be able to use everyday and be able to go to school in. I am fifteen (almost sixteen) years old so I don't want anything too crazy. I was thinking along the lines of a neutral smokey eye. I don't really have any ideas on colors yet except I know that I want Satin Taupe to be included because I have heard great reviews on that color! Thanks so much for your help!!

Woodwinked, Dazzlelight and Vanilla + Satin Taupe is my suggestion.

^ great choices, sayah! .... Not sure if mine would be good for you, but I'll tell you what quad I made for myself: Shroom, Naked Lunch, Satin Taupe, Carbon. /// Vanilla would be great as it doesn't have the shimmer like Shroom does, at least not as much (I don't own vanilla). Another fav of mine is Soft Brown, or Brown Down. .... Good luck!!

Dazzlelight*/Nylon/Crystal Avalanche + All That Glitters/Restrospeck*/Ricepaper + Satin Taupe/Tempting*/Bronze + Black Tied*/Knight Divine

The ones with stars are my personal favourites, but you can pick one that you like best as long as you get the idea of what color type it is suppose to be. Dazzlelight group works as a great highlighter or a all over lid color, sheer wash, etc
All that glitters group works great as an all over lid color. Satin taupe group are great crease, outer-V and lashline shades. Black Tied group are great for adding drama for a smokey darker look. You can go day to evenning very easily.

If you want color, you can buy a second quad just for fun: Stars n Rockets (purple-pink), Shimmermoss/Aquadesiac (blue-green), Beautiful Iris (lilac), lucky green/juxt (green)

You could wear highlighter shade + color + brown group/black group

I think this way is the best for teenagers =)

Satin taupe is a great color!! I really like using it with yogurt, sketch and dazzlelight. You can also use sketch as a liner.

All the glitters, cork espresso and dazzlelight are also good options. Cork is a must have in my opinion.

Just make sure that when your selecting your quad, you have a matte shadow in there. Too mush shimmer or frost will be overwhelming.

I love Satin Taupe! I'd go for Vanilla, Omega, Stain Taupe then either Carbon or Typographic. Because you're wanting a softer look Typographic might be better. It's not as black as Carbon and the Matte2 texture makes it super easy to blend and work with.
