I thought it was about time I showcased some of my favourite products on Perilously Pale. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the latest collections and releases that we neglect the products that won our hearts in the not so distant past. The Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow palette in Kaska Beige from the Spring 2010 collection is an item I will always adore and I have every intention of replacing it when the time comes. Of course I will have to hope they don’t make the crazy move of discontinuing this classic. I don’t believe in backups, but if I ever hear of Kaska Beige’s demise I will make an exception to that rule and snatch one up without a second thought!
The quad includes an almost matte ivory beige, a slightly mauved brown with a very soft satin finish, shimmery plummed dark brown, and a shimmery coppery tan.
Bottom line: This is a staple for me. I turn to it when I want a fool proof look that I know will look great without effort or thought. It can take me from the average day to a night out and I’ve even chosen it to wear to job interviews.
this is one of my faves! works with everything!
I love, love, love this quad! I got it when it was a LE, and haven’t worn it in quite some time due to the overwhelming amount of eye shadows I’ve accumulated since.
Thank you for reminding me of this little gem!!

Oooh this looks lovely, with perfect easy to blend colours. I’ll have to have a look at it next time I am at the Chanel counter.

I love it too! I’m about to start my second quad.
This might have to be my first Chanel eye quad. You know I’m not a huge fan but these colors look fabulous – I am a sucker for a beautiful neutral eye. The Bare Escentuals The Truth is similar.
Your pictures of it are so pretty! But every time I’m at a counter, it looks so underwhelming that I don’t even bother swatching. Next time I’ll give it a try. I feel like I’m missing out!
They are definitely not underwhelming. Do try at least swatching them. They make an amazing neutral eye the can go quite smoky depending on your application.
Love your swatches.
Seems that the US version is much better than the european one. Guess I need to dig mine out and show it some more love (despite the pay-off being less than excellent, which is why I put it aside in the first place!!!

Thanks Tina! We have the euro quads in Canada too but I won’t buy them. I get all my quads and joues contraste blushes from the US.
The US Kaska Beige is phenomenal.
