Autograph By M&S Pure Colour Baked Quad Eyeshadow Review - Purple Mix

Autograph Eyeshadow Quad - Purple Mix £12
This eyeshadow quad from Marks and Spencer gives a very natural smoky eye.
 Its called Purple Mix and it consists of a well pigmented smouldery grey with microshimmer on the top left, a barely there powdery lilac shade on the top right which I feel lacks pigmentation.
 On the bottom left is a shimmery light silver shade, this one is slightly more pigmented than the lilac shade but is still very subtle.  On the bottom right is a well pigmented deep purple/ dark mauve colour.  All of the shades are buildable with the exception of the lilac shadow.  When I swatched them on my wrist, I built each shade up as much as was possible.

All four colours complement each other nicely, making the palette extremely versatile   However, I did find these difficult to blend and apply as they are very solid in the palette.  They were long lasting though and didn't smudge much, plus I didn't experience any fallout on application.  But due to how hard they were to apply, I wouldn't buy another one of these quads as it took a while to create a subtle look and mistakes are easily made with eyeshadows this unblendable.

I love the packaging of all the Autograph products, they're all really sleek and remind me of Chanel make up.  This one is no exception as the way the individual shadows are in little domed circles is almost identical to Chanels eyshadow quads.

Princess points: 3/5
The colours themselves were really pretty and sophisticated, but I just found them too unblendable and difficult to apply.
