Edward Bess Quad Royale
What it is:A palette of four coordinated shades to sculpt and highlight the face. What it does:This versatile set of four perfectly paired shades are ideal for adding depth and dimension to your look. Sweep the collection together for allover, luminous color or use them individually to highlight the apples of the cheeks, the tops of the cheekbones, and the eyes. The palette comes with a sleek travel brush so you can touch up on the go.

Blush/highlighter/contouring
-05.04.13
If you like Nars Orgasm you'll love this. I have the Quad in Monte Carlo. I normally avoid products that include a brush; I would rather use full-size, high quality brushes but this one is good. Sweep it across the apples of cheeks and it applies the lighter colors to upper cheeks and deeper colors just below creating sculpted flushed cheekbones. Great for those who want contouring without multiple products or fussy techniques.

Review 2 for Quad Royale
South Of France
-01.16.13
Quick Take: good value, luminous, discreet blush, glowing highlighter
I was with mixed expectations because of the revewers hating or loving it, but decided to give it a try. South Of France is the palest of all 3 shades. I use as a highlighter 3 of the lighter colors all over my face, then I swipe the 4 together for a blush or sculpting. The quad looks pale but does give an actual natural color, luminosity and glow. It is well designed for those who do not like harsh pronounced colors for blush. I read in one review that "it is pricey and invisible" - completely disagree - the real elegant makeup is nude, natural, discreet.
This is my favorite item together with my mascara and gloss it never leaves my purse. It looks quite shimmery, but when applied you will not see shimmer- only glowing complexion:)

Review 3 for Quad Royale
monte carlo
-12.03.12
Quick Take: perfect
I love love love this palette! So versatile and it gives that amazing sheer glow I haven't quite achieved with anything else (everything else has been too frosty, too glittery, greasy looking, weird shade, etc) so this one really hit the nail on the head because it really enhances naturally beauty- It gives you the look of beautiful glowing skin rather than looking like you just have glitter/shimmer on your face.

Review 4 for Quad Royale
Glowing skin
-11.11.12
Quick Take: glows
This smooth, soft powder wafts onto skin like a gentle veil. It gives a discrete glow to skin while providing subtle color. With fair skin this, the lightest color of the quad is perfect for me.

Wonderful colors
-11.09.12
Quick Take: great texture and sheen
The colors in my quad are delicious. The texture is fine and smooth. The product produces a fine sheen on the skin. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Review 6 for Quad Royale
One of my most used products of the summer!
-10.16.12
I got this quad in Monte Carlo in May and I LOVE it! I use to upper two colors if I just want to add a little more color or dimension to my face, awesome in the summer if your foundation is a little lighter than your skin tone. I use the bottom two as a blush or as a contour under cheek bones. They are lovely peachy coral colors and very blend able. I would repurchase. My only disappointment was that I thought it would be bigger, but I still love it.

Sheer beauty
-08.25.12
I have this in South of France, and it is a light, subtle, but glowing addition by itself or over blush. I don't like a lot of cheek color, but I do like to look luminous, and this product gives that finish without being glittery or obvious. I like it a lot!

Meh
-06.19.12
Quick Take: silky but unimpressive
I confess I am a fan of Edward Bess, however I'm not really thrilled with this product. The colors are so pale and transparent that is does nothing for my fair skin. I had hoped for a glowing texture but it's kind of a nothing. Perhaps in the winter I will feel different, but for now? Meh.

Review 10 for Quad Royale
South of France/Summer in Capri
-05.24.12
Quick Take: glowy, beautiful highlight, great bronzer
I am very pleased with the product: South of France makes an excellent highlighter (but would not apply it all over) and Summer in Capri makes a gorgeous bronzer/summery blush. The effect of these powders is very glowy and refined, and I am so glad I tried them, even though they are not available yet in stores. My only issue with the product is the packaging - the plastic case feels quite flimsy, I feel that such an expensive item should be packaged better. I like the look of it (slim, sleek), but not the quality of the plastic case. These powders deserve better!

Review 12 for Quad Royale
Sheer, Shimmer, Summer
-04.20.12
I wasn't sure if I would like this as I have tried other highlighters/shimmer bricks etc. and they always are too glittery and shiny to give that hot, polished looked. I got this in Monte Carlo and I fell in love with the finish. It gives a very nice summer flush, shimmer, without being shiny. A must for the summer!

Review 13 for Quad Royale
Great highlighter!
-04.09.12
I have yet to be disappointed with anything Edward Bess but the Quad Royale in Monte Carlo s one of my favorite purchases to date. It's subtle but the highlight shows up well on my medium-tan skin. I've used it alone, with EB bronzer as well as with multiple blushes and loved the results. I hate overly shimmery highlighters (if you like Bobbi Brown shimmer bricks or Laura Mercier shimmer blocs this probably is too subtle for you) so its the perfect amount for me.

Smooth Texture

Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
This would be perfect for someone who is fair or likes more of a natural look. Unfortunately for me it didn't show up enough. Very nice texture and feel though.

Review 16 for Quad Royale
nice quality
-04.01.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
I am very happy with this purchase - nice high quality look and feel. The effect is like BB shimmer brick but matte if that makes sense. I apply to cheeks and eyes but have tried this all over and it makes a nice subtle glow.

Make a nice bronzer
-03.31.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
Bought this not understanding if this is a bronzer or a blush - looks like it could pass for either thought I like using it instead of bronzer. Would say this product has a sheen but it overall matte.

Review 18 for Quad Royale
Nice texture and look
-03.31.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage
I'm far from a makeup pro so was glad to find a multi-use product that goes on matte. Don't know if I did this the right way but I just swirl all shades together and like the effect. Open to trying more from this line.

Review 19 for Quad Royale
Love my Monte Carlo
-03.26.12
Quick Take: soft shimmer, sheer coverage
I have a few lipsticks and glosses from this line and absolutely love them. Monte Carlo is the most recent product I've tried and I could not be happier with my choice. The colors are SO gorgeous and love that they aren't too sparkly. Really looking forward to trying more products.

Review 20 for Quad Royale
too subtle
-03.07.12
Quick Take: sheer coverage
I got this in South of France and could not see it on my face no matter how many times I applied. I bought it because it was supposed to be subtle, but not this subtle. I probably got the wrong color, and might try the coral one.
