Quad Eyeshadow

NARS Quad Eyeshadow packs four coordinated shades into one compact, so a full eye look lives in a single palette. The Taj Mahal quad takes its cue from the brand's cult blush of the same name: warm golds and a burnished orange, grounded by a deep purple-red matte for depth. Finishes run from buttery matte through satin to glitter, so you can go soft or dramatic from the same four pans.

What it actually does

• Four shades, one story. A yellow gold shimmer (Taj Mahal I); a light peach with shimmer (II); a burnished orange shot through with gold (III); and a purple red matte (IV).
• High colour payoff in a single stroke. NARS suspends pure pigment in a liquid binding system, which the brand credits for the richness you get on first swipe.
• Mixed finishes in one compact. Matte, metallic, shimmering and sparkling sit side by side — enough range to build a complete look without a second palette.
• Longwearing. Listed by the brand as a longwearing formula.
• Lightweight by design. NARS notes these shadows are made light for easier blending and instant payoff, and that this can cause occasional dusting — worth knowing before you buy.
• Size: four pans, each holding 1.2 g (0.04 oz).

How to use

1. Prime first. Lay the shadow over Tinted Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base for fuller, longer-lasting intensity.
2. Start light. Using the #20 Allover Eyeshadow Brush, sweep the palest shade across the lid or the brow bone — sheer for a wash of colour, layered for impact.
3. Add dimension. Place the medium tone along the crease bridge and the outer corner.
4. Catch the light. Tap the shimmer shades onto the lid centre or inner corner with your fingertips.
5. Turn it into liner. Mist the #26 Push Eyeliner Brush until damp, tap off the excess, press into the pan, blot, then push the colour into the lash line.

Questions

Which four shades are in the Taj Mahal quad?

A yellow gold shimmer (Taj Mahal I), a light peach with shimmer (II), a burnished orange shot through with gold (III), and a purple red matte (IV).

Why do I get fallout under my eyes?

NARS is upfront about this: the shadows are deliberately lightweight so they blend easily and give immediate payoff, and that texture can cause occasional dusting. Tapping excess off the brush before application, or doing eyes before face makeup, keeps it manageable.

Can I use these as eyeliner?

Yes. Mist the #26 Push Eyeliner Brush until damp, tap the excess off on your hand, press it into the pan and push the pigment along the lash line for a precise, targeted line.

How much product do I get?

Each of the four pans holds 1.2 g, which is 0.04 oz.
