I am really thinking about purchasing one of these quads. I'm not really interested in going to the mall to try these so I am looking for some advice on color and application. I have brown hair and eyes. I'm looking for a pallet that I can use every day and is easy is pack in my makeup bag. 
thanks!

@jobiz , If you look on Nordstrom's site they have pics of the colors and models wearing the shadows so you can get an idea.  What colors are you partial to?  

 

I also have brown hair and eyes and spices has always been my go-to chanel quad but I am not seeing it.  I don't like really bold colors on me but I do like a quad with a soft pink or something color in there.

Another that I like is the Les Beiges in the color warm.  

 

I would look for the sites that show the shadows on models.  Sometimes seeing them swatched is different from how it looks on.

I have dark blonde highlighted hair and hazel eyes. I felt Spices” was too blah on me so I have “warm memories”. The great thing about the Chanel quad is that you don’t need brushes to apply. You only need your four fingers for application. There are tutorials on you tube how to use the colors in your quad color or look for finger tip application using Chanel.

Hi, @jobiz !  I have brown hair with gray and brown eyes.  I bought the Chanel quad in Tisse Camelia.  Colors are soft and it was exactly what I was looking for.  Photo was shot in my bathroom with natural light from the window.IMG_0299.jpeg

That pallete looks pretty. How do you apply the colors? Thanks

@jobiz , I like to use the pink on my eyelid and mix a bit of the two brown shades for the crease, and the white-looking one on the brow for highlight.  I don't always use the highlighter.

I second the palette that @MJDinVegas posted. Beautiful shades that I think compliment brown eyes.

@jobiz   I agree with @MJDinVegas . That's one of the quads I have. Tisse Camelia & is  universally flattering. I also have Tisse Rivoli. Both quads are wearable neutrals. 

 

I don't purchase large palettes anymore. Too many shades went untouched.

@jobiz , I should have also mentioned that the palette comes with a card showing how to apply the colors.
