Charlotte Tilbury The Queen of Glow Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches

The Queen of Glow

Charlotte Tilbury The Queen of Glow Eyeshadow Quad ($53.00 for 0.18 oz.) is a new, ultra warm-toned quad featuring three, shimmery copper shades and a matte, warm burgundy shade. The first two shimmers were lovely–some of the brand’s best–while the third shimmer was workable but could have been more yielding. The matte shade performed well with nearly opaque coverage and good blendability.

The Queen of Glow #1

The Queen of Glow #1 is a light-medium, golden copper with strong, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had rich color coverage in a single layer with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was dense without being too firmly pressed into the pan. The eyeshadow applied well to bare skin and blended out effortlessly. It wore nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

The Queen of Glow #2

The Queen of Glow #2 is a medium-dark copper with strong, warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It had opaque color payoff that adhered evenly to my lid and blended out with little effort. The consistency felt smooth and lightly creamy, dense but not too firmly pressed into the pan, so it picked up well with my brush. There were slight signs of fading after eight hours of wear.

The Queen of Glow #3

The Queen of Glow #3 is a light-medium, reddish-copper with moderate, warm undertones and flecks of pink and gold sparkle throughout. The texture felt slightly drier and a touch more firmly pressed into the pan compared to the other shades, though it was still quite pigmented. I’d recommend applying this shade by patting and pressing onto the lid to get the most impact and least likelihood of fallout. It stayed on well for eight hours with a bit of fallout over time.
