Review: YSL Couture Clutch Eyeshadow Quad: Trocadero Nights

This limited-edition quad is a glamorous palette perfect for evening looks, with an excellent formula that is easy to use with minimal fallout.

The dramatic color story is ideal for glamorous smoky eye looks.  Think Paris nights, sparkling lights, and a touch of mystery. The stars of the show are the two gorgeous shimmery metallic shades in gold and silver. The silver is a smooth, luxe shimmer and the gold is translucent and intensely sparkly, like a topper shade. There is also a pale apricot-pink matte to use as a transition shade, and a deep, rich black with fine multicolored sparkles to deepen the outer corners and add smoldering intensity.

The formula is great quality; the shadows are smooth, pigmented and high-impact. This is a new eyeshadow formula for the brand, and it’s fantastic.

The packaging for this line of quads is also stunning – it’s a chic, compact design that resembles a small clutch handbag. It’s soft black with chevron stitching (the fabric feels like vinyl, not leather) with the iconic golden logo in the center.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a palette to create sultry, smoky eyes or a bold evening look, Trocadero Nights is a perfect choice – if you can track it down.
