La Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad di YB Skin in the variant gray It is a compact yet extremely versatile palette, designed to create elegant, modern and easily buildable eye makeup, from the most natural look to an intense and sophisticated smokey eye.
The color selection is striking at first glance: four beautifully balanced shades of gray, ranging from the lightest and brightest to the deepest and most intense. It's a palette that never looks cold or dull, but rather manages to dramatically enhance the look, especially on light, green, gray, and brown eyes.
Texture and writing
The eyeshadows have a pressed mineral texture Silky and very fine. They feel soft, almost creamy, and once applied to the eyelid, they blend perfectly with the skin.
The writing is excellent already at the first pass, but what I appreciated most is the modularity: The color can be intensified without creating smudges or buildup. Even after prolonged use, the eyeshadows remain even and easy to blend.
The powders are well balanced:
- they are not too dry
- they don't produce excessive fallout
- they do not highlight creases or dryness
An unexpected look, especially for those whose eyelids are no longer very young or slightly lined.

The shades in detail
The palette is very intelligently structured:
- Bright light grey: perfect as a base on the entire mobile eyelid or as a highlight in the inner corner
- Medium satin gray: ideal for adding depth and creating soft shades
- Deep dark grey: excellent for intensifying the crease of the eye or creating a more decisive smokey eye
- Anthracite grey/black: perfect as an accent color, smudged eyeliner or to give character to evening makeup
The finishes are mainly satin-silky, never excessively shimmery, which makes the palette extremely elegant and wearable even during the day.
Application and performance on the eyelid
The eyeshadows are easy to apply with both natural and synthetic brushes. Using a dry brush results in a soft, refined look, while using a slightly damp brush creates a more intense and deep look, especially with dark shades.
The finish on the eyelid is very beautiful: the color remains true, does not fade or lose intensity throughout the day. With a good eye base, it durability is excellent, but even without primer the eyeshadows hold up well for several hours without bunching up in the crease.
Packaging and practicality
The packaging is simple, compact, and functional. It also includes a double-ended applicator, especially useful for touch-ups on the go. It's a practical palette to carry while traveling or in your purse, perfect for those who love versatile yet well-designed products.
