I am just too happy with the prevalent trend in make up recently. I happen to be a frustrated make up student wannabe (I want to study, but havent had the opportunity to.) so I am very interested how to do make up looks.
Lately make up brands have been dishing out quads and other palettes with instruction manuals to help women choose the right colors for the right look. My love for quads started last year when my friend introduced me to the Kanebo. She had been buying their products for quite some time and when I was with her at the Kanebo counter, I got curious about the cute looking eyeshadow quads. In the end I got a make over from the saleslady, who, I was surprised to find out, was properly trained by their company! When you're here in Cebu, you're pretty used to make up sales people not really knowing how to do make up and instead just sell their products, so the whole thing was surprising for me. She gave me this smoky eye look using their blue shadow quad (Coffret D'or 3D Lighting Eyes in Blue-Green Tones) and it just really looked spectacular on my eyes. See below pic for reference, along with their other shades.
I like how when you open a new compact, there is actually a plastic film there with numbers, so you know the steps on how to apply the look.
I have also found other make up brands that are selling their shadows with manuals:
