Lookbook: Maybelline ExpertWear Quad, “Chai Latte,” Swatches





At Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week, we saw the look that Maybelline New York created for the models at the Cynthia Rowley Fall 2011 Show. It was a sultry smokey eye that was chic, but not overdone, and it was created using Maybelline’s ExpertWear Quad in Chai Latte. This quad gives you the perfect blend of neutrals and modern metallics, and each shade has fantastic pigmentation to it. What is even more surprising is that these eyeshadow quad’s retail for under $5, bringing this runway look straight to your cosmetics case. To see more photographs and swatches,







Chai Latte contains four eyeshadow shades: a shimmering beige champagne, a metallic bronze, a matte light brown, and a sparkling metallic dark brown. Each shade is labeled showing you where to apply, however, you can use the colors in a variety of ways. In fact, Maybelline New York Global Makeup Artist Charlotte Willer used these shades fantastically at Cynthia Rowley’s runway show for New York Fashion Week.











Maybelline has a very positive reputation with me for great drugstore eyeshadow. In fact, I almost never buy other drugstore eyeshadow brands (besides Wet n Wild) because I know I can always count on Maybelline eyeshadow products to be smooth, pigmented, and long-lasting.







Every shade in this quad is rich in color, and applied smoothly, but I especially love the bronze shade (upper right corner). It was by far the most pigmented of the four, and absolutely shines. Stunning!
