Soap & Glory Lid Stuff Eyeshadow Quads in Smokey Dokey and What’s Nude Swatches and Review

Soap & Glory recently launched a rather comprehensive range of colour cosmetics and that included 2 eyeshadow quads called ‘Lid Stuff’.

There are 3 variations, I have 2 of them here, Smokey Dokey and What’s Nude:

Smokey Dokey has four colours in deep smokey shades, Diamondust, Chine, Black Gold and Smokin’

What’s Nude contains Vanilla, Pink T, Mudhoney, Aubersheen.

These eyeshadows come in a plastic clear compacts – quite simple but nice like the MAC ones.

The eyeshadows are round and come in sets of 4 only.

Smokey Dokey – There is a white cream, a pale shimmery lilac, a mid toned grey and a black.

Swatches:

The pigmentation of this is medium.  It’s definitely buildable and in that sense works pretty well for people who aren’t that confident with eyeshadow, especially darker colours. I do like my mattes and I’d say they are decent mattes but not super creamy.

What’s Nude is the shade I really wanted to try!

The cream, beige and mid toned brown are mattes, then there is a shimmery mushroom shade – a really nice nude look palette.

The pigmentation is quite sheer, but once again it’s a good beginners palette and for £10 for 4 shades, it’s quite a bargain.  I think many people will get a lot of use out of these kind of colours:

I really like the beige in particular.

Overall these palettes are very useful and will have a lot of mass appeal; I have no doubt of that and they have the right amount of pigment for the majority of customers.  For me, I am spoilt and would like something richer in pigment and more creamy.  I also would’ve loved to have seen something more wild; it is Soap & Glory after all, they’re a fun brand so hopefully in the future they’ll release some brighter, glittery, shimmery shadows too.
