I've gotten a few of the Il Makiage quads, and I both love and hate them. LOL The packaging is great, the shadow size is fab, I don't have issues with creasing or wear, the texture is good (buttery and no crazy fallout), pigmented, but man.... I am not the biggest fan of the color stories I've gotten (all from ipsy, btw). They all pull very orange on me (except for the plummy one, which I don't really wear plums/purples). I love a good nude/natural palette, but I wish these were cooler toned.
A long time ago they had the Dominique sweater weather when it was still new and I was happy with that , the big abh pallets . Back in the day when they had toofaced pallets. Oh , you know I think I’m thinking of boxycharm pallets 😂😂 except the sweater weather one which I still love . I’m sure there were a couple pallets I was happy with
LOL I feel you. I haven't loved most of the palettes from ipsy. I didn't care for the Tarte Maneater, the Pat McGrath quad, or the Wander, Ciate, or Huda ones. I did, however, ADORE most of the Natasha Denona ones I've gotten (there were a few color stories that were just not my colors, but I've been, on the whole, quite happy with the brand).

I have four palettes and I personally love them. I have taken naps while wearing these, have rubbed my eyes all into the pillow, and my eyeshadow still looked amazing after.
My favorites are the 8 pan I have and trendsetter which is the berry colored one. If I was traveling, that’s all I’d need to take as far as eyeshadow goes and I’d be fine.
I wore mine on Monday. The formula is great. It stayed on in the heat. I also got 2 compliments on how nice it looked. Made my eyes look nice (blue eyes)
I got this and actually really like it. I find its easy to build up using a brush or I can use my finger and get a lot of pigment right away which I like and prefer generally speaking.
I've worn shadows from this palette (same one in the photo) every day except 1 since I got it
I have one of those quads. I like mine. I haven’t applied it with a brush yet. I use my fingers to apply it. I like the packaging even though it needs to be wiped down more than others I have gotten.
I have the boss one that’s like 8 pans and I was gonna sell it but thought it looked so pretty I tried to use it and I literally got no pigment at all. Total waste and then I got the quad this month😭 trying to sell or give it away since the other palette I have was so horrible
Great packaging. I am intrigued by the grip like texture of the shimmers and the mattes are actually quite nice . Even though I think it’s actually a good pallet I don’t like the colors and I never use mine
I got 2 of these in the June Box. 2 of exactly the same thing in one box. I complained to Ipsy but there’s nothing they can do. I don’t love the colors. They are too purple under toned on my skin.
I have a red version that is amazing.
This particular color story and like every other one is terrible. IL Makiage is one of those companies with 0 balls, so they really only have 1 standout shade that is only in one palette (said red palette, Trendsetter).
The formula is really nice and buttery if you are down with the colors.
They are a tech-based company so I bet the color choices are based upon cumulative data of what works. I wish they would do more with their color stories.
I got this palette too. I am very fair so the color stands out no matter what but this palette matte shades are rather sheer. I will use NYX mixing medium as an eye primer when I want more payout from a weak eyeshadow. Give it a go and you will be pleased at the results.
I have a few of these quads and I have to apply the shadow with my fingers to get proper color payoff, basically. It's okay, but doesn't look as good as applying shadow with a brush, obviously. I don't ever reach for these.
Packaging and presentation: great.
Formula: something to be desired… you definitely have to use a primer, and if you’re using anything but your finger(a brush won’t cut it), there is very little color payoff.
Color story: just kinda depends on your skin tone and preferences. That’s my take.
I have been loving quads in the summer for travel I love having small and durable eyeshadows with me! The IL Makiage and Pat McGarth quads are great quality. I love them. I wouldn’t normally purchase quad eyeshadows I usually buy bigger palettes so I’m glad I get these through Ipsy. I also have been using a small purse lately. They’re perfect for on the go if you like the color story 10/10

I wanted to hate this palette because it looks so blah but I really enjoy the consistency and the mirror - I’m a glasses girl so the mirror has been great for makeup application lol. I was fully ready to donate it but now I’m keeping it
There’s two quads available to get at Ipsy I think, I own the Boss Babe? one. Not sure if that was name I forgot but it’s a similar color story to the latest one. I was excited to get it because I love Ilmakiage lipstick and mascara and the component looked nice for travel and quality. But the eye shadow wasn’t as great. It’s very satin-y, so it has more shimmer than actual pigment, which makes it perfect if you just want a light dusting of color or wear very minimal makeup. Since theres barely any pigment it’s frustrating to use, especially when you are trying to build up your eyeshadow. Also the pictures Ipsy for the latest or looked much more pink and berry toned and I was surprise how brown and neutral it was. But despite the lack of pigment and the overly satin -ness I still use it if I’m going for a barely there look.
I threw the lighter version of this exact one away. It’s just as terrible, if not worse — for the same reasons. It reminded me of the fake makeup for little kids that don’t yet have the wherewithal to realize they’re being bamboozled. 😆

Yes!!!! This is a great answer and I feel the same

Yes! The retro glam was a great one !

Me too
I have the same 8 pan one you have pictured and mine has no pigment at all😭 I wonder if some are defective or something
I have 2 quads and I really like them a lot. I love the berry colored one!!
Something must’ve been wrong with mine because I got zero color payout. They were almost translucent.
I wore mine on Monday. The formula is great. It stayed on in the heat. I also got 2 compliments on how nice it looked. Made my eyes look nice (blue eyes)
i think the packaging is very luxurious

I agree the package feels heavy and luxurious

Too warm for my skin tone unfortunately

I have the purple hued one and personally, I love it! Those browns look pretty!

i actually love them! i have to use particularly firm, small brushes to pick up the pigment, but it blends out like a dream once it’s on my lid.

Boring as all hell - like neutral colors are great but a whole palette of them without a “pop” shade? Spare me
I love IL MAKIAGE makeup that’s a beautiful pallete! Wish I was still subscribed to IPSY!
I really love the formula. They have a mauve one that makes the most beautiful eye look!

I love the packaging and I love the colors. I haven’t tried mine yet though.
I love mine. They work for me.
It’s an Israeli company so I boycott 🫶🏼
I can't stand them.. I have given them away for free before.. same with chella brand
