    Bring back applicator!

    16 days ago
    I love the Designer Chocolates and have been using this shade combo for years and Maybelline since I began using makeup in my teens, I’m now 55! Recently purchased a new compact and was very unhappy to see it does not have an applicator. Telling customers to “use their finger” is not an appropriate response to customers who are discovering this cost cutting measure! I will now be looking for another company to buy from that isn’t as tone deaf to customer complaints/feedback as Maybelline! It is obvious that removing the applicator is an issue customers are upset about and the responses from corporate shows that customers don’t matter.

    Why change the color and call it by the same name?

    a month ago
    I’ve used chai latte for 10+ year and loved it up till now. I recently purchased it and was annoyed that it didn’t come with an applicator but I can deal with that inconvenience. What I can’t deal with is that they completely changed the colors. Instead of continuing to call it chai latte, change the name and say you discontinued the color. I would have rather dealt with that than buying a product that I thought I loved only to be highly disappointed by a product that I can’t use because it’s now the same color as my skin tone and you can’t even tell I’m wearing eyeshadow. Whoever made this decision of changing the color should be fired.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Hello Kmays1022! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback about the Expert Wear Eyeshadow Quad to us, as hearing from long-term users of our classic shades is truly essential. We recently updated the Expert Wear formula and color palette to provide a creamier, more blendable texture that resists fading for up to 12 hours of wear. While the name Chai Latte remains, the pigments were refined to offer a softer and more modern finish that enhances the eyes with a natural, sophisticated glow. A helpful tip for achieving more visible impact with these neutral tones is to apply the shadows over a pigmented eye primer or a light layer of concealer to help the colors stand out against your skin tone. You can also try using a slightly damp brush when applying the deeper shades in the quad to intensify the color payoff and create the defined look you have enjoyed for so many years. To reduce single-use plastic and align with the preference for professional brushes, our new sleeker compact design focuses on providing more of the high-quality formula you love.

    I have been using this eye shadow for several years and the product is good but I also think Mabelline Corporation should continue to provide the applicator. I am very disappointed in the decision in discontinuing the applicator. I purchased the eyeshadow at Walmart and they do not sale any applicators I felt was what I was looking for. So cheap from Mabelline for discontinuing the applicator.

    So disappointed & l won't purchase again

    a month ago
    I have used Expertwear eyeshadow for a very long time. I can't remember when I didn't use it. Last time I bought the shade Seashell I thought something went wrong at the plant and I didn't get an applicator. I shared an applicator with another shade. Now that I was due for a new pack and didn't get one again I looked it up. I found out this was a company decision to not include it. Nothing on the product to alert me. That was my last purchase. Cost goes up and up and I get less. Very disappointed.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    More than disappointed in Maybelline!

    a month ago
    I am very disappointed with Maybelline recently. First, they removed the applicators which is very inconvenient for their customers, but NOW the color I have been using for 20 years (the only eyeshadow colors I use) have been completed changed! The new Chai Latte colors are terrible! I ordered some from Walmart last week and what I received with the same color label on it was nothing like the colors in the larger packaging (that use to include the applicator). I will definitely be finding a new brand that does not change things up to benefit themselves instead of the their loyal customers.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    I've been using this product for at least 15 years. Always liked the shadow and appreciated the convenient size. HOWEVER now that the applicator(s) (there used to be 2 in there) has been discontinued I will have to re-evaluate. Boo on you, Maybelline, for trying to save a few cents over the convenience of your loyal customers. Hope you'll reevaluate this decision.

    BOOO!!! Terrible management tactic !!

    BOOO!!! Terrible management tactic removing the applicator and pretending it is a "reduce the plastic issue" Very frustrating when you pay over $10 for the eyeshadow and when you call to say it was missing they tell you to go back to the store and buy yourself an applicator now, no longer included. We are not dumb women, this is 100% a profit margin tactic, not reduce plastic issue. Do better Maybelline!!

    More Lid Color and Bring Back the Applicator!!

    3 months ago
    [Employee of maybelline-na] I have been wearing Mocha Motion for many years. I've tried others & continue to go back.. this color palette is perfect for me, but the Lid color should be bigger in my opinion because you need more of it than the crease & dark liner shades. The last 10 times I've purchased, the applicator has been missing. It's perfect without having to take out multiple brushes to apply. Why is it missing???

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Beyond being cheap

    4 months ago
    No Applicator!?!?! The last 3 shades I’ve bought haven’t had an applicator. At first I thought it was a honest mistake but now it’s beyond being cheap. I a I’ll use the applicator, of course I have the brush to blend but when time is tight you need every tool to be where it supposed to be! You should add a sticker warning there’s no applicator enclosed if you wanna continue this way instead of just trying to sneak it by your customers. Very deceptive. Shameful……

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    This is a total New York nightmare, and we hear your frustration loud and clear! At Maybelline, we know that when you're in a "New York minute," every second counts—and reaching for your favorite shade only to find a missing applicator is a total deal-breaker. Whether you have a brush at home or not, you deserve a tool that’s ready to work as hard as you do, especially when time is tight. Having this happen three times in a row isn't just a "mistake"; it feels like a total letdown of the trust you put in us, and "shameful" is exactly how we’d feel if our routine was sabotaged like that.

    After 30 years, will no longer purchase Maybelline

    4 months ago
    I have been a loyal customer of Maybelline for 30 years. I am so annoyed that I now need to find a new brand of eye shadow because Maybelline has chosen to save a few cents per package by no longer including applicators. Makeup brushes are fine with higher quality eyeshadow, but with Maybelline, the low quality product results in powder being splashed under your eyes during application - NOT a good look. This not a problem with the applicators which used to be included in the package, but a big problem when using brushes - which I would now need to carry around with me. This is ridiculous. After 30 years, I have made my last Maybelline purchase.

    Thirty years of loyalty is a New York legend, and it breaks our hearts to hear that we’ve let you down like this! At Maybelline, we know that when you find a routine that works for three decades, it becomes part of your signature style. Losing that "all-in-one" convenience of a built-in applicator isn't just a minor change—it’s a major disruption to your hustle! We totally hear you on the "brush vs. applicator" struggle; while brushes have their place, those classic sponge tips are the "secret weapon" for gripping pigment and pressing it onto the lid without that messy fallout under your eyes. No one wants a "powder splash" ruining their look halfway through the morning!

    I love the 40Q Designer Chocolates eyeshadow palette. However, after being a loyal customer for years, I will be going to another brand because applicators are no longer being included.These quads are great for travel being small and compact. Large makeup brushes are NOT. Besides, makeup brushes do not offer the same coverage that the applicators do.

    The first eyeshadow I purchased as a teenager was the Maybelline Blooming Colors Eyeshadow Quad. Over the years, I’ve experimented with a wide range of eyeshadows from high-end department store brands to affordable drugstore options. Yet, I always find myself returning to the Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Quads. These quads are thoughtfully designed with easy-to-follow application instructions that ensure a flawless look every time. The shadows are richly pigmented, blend seamlessly, and are gentle enough for sensitive eyes. My personal favorites are Mocha Motion and Natural Smokes, both of which offer timeless, versatile shades perfect for any occasion.

    What happened to the eye shadow applicator???

    a year ago
    Normally I’d give this product 4 or 5 stars but I’m only giving it 2 because this part week I purchase new eye shadow (Lavender Smokes) and it had no applicator! I took it back to the store and wanted to exchange it, figuring I just was unlucky and got a bad one. I buy this eyeshadow all the time and it always has an applicator. But when I took the new one up to the customer service clerk we opened it and that one too had no applicator!! I’ve now seen on social media and the reviews on this site .. seems like in the past week or so this is MANY loyal customers’ experience. Is this a bad production run or is Maybelline no longer including applicator brushes? If the latter is the case I think that’s pretty lousy and I’ll move on to a new brand.

    No applicator? What's up with that? I have used Maybelline for 30 years and this is a first for me.

    Where is the applicator brush???

    a year ago
    I have used this eyeshadow for 10+ years. I have always been very pleased with the color and the eyeshadow itself, but the brush applicator has changed to now when I purchased it last week there is no applicator at all??? What in the world happened? I thought maybe someone had opened the one I bought and took it out but I went back to the store and the clerk opened a different one and it didn’t have one either. She asked the manager and they said several people had complained there wasn’t one inside. Why would you stop putting a brush inside to apply the eyeshadow? Also the compartment where they use to be is still there, just empty. So you would think if you were sitting cost by not giving the consumer an applicator brush you would make the case smaller to cut down on plastic use. This makes no sense. I guess you want people to stop purchasing your product.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Best drugstore neutral eye palette

    a year ago
    I picked up the quad "Natural Smokes" and this is so pretty! A touch of shimmer with true neutral shades that I wear both to the office and out for nights on the town with my husband. I hope Maybelline doesn't discontinue these as I know they've been around for quite some time (and no one ever talks about them)!

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Mocha Motion

    2 years ago
    Just purchased this today. The colors will make my blue eyes pop. I looked at the reviews after my purchase and another reviewer said it did for her eyes. So without even using it yet it will work well for me. My comment believe it or not is Maybelline website photo of the quad. If I saw that I never would have purchased it. the shade on the bottom is orange/brown. In the actual package it's gray/brown. I think you need better pictures depicting some products.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Contains Talc/Asbestos

    3 years ago
    I loved this product - the colors were fantastic and I'd truly fallen in love with it. That's why I was so frustrated to see talc listed as a top ingredient. If Maybelline switches to a safer ingredient, I'd love to purchase the product down the road.

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Charcoal Smokies Quad

    4 years ago
    I love the #1 base color in the Charcoal Smokies palatte and have barely if ever used the others. I’m getting low and have been desperately searching for it in a single shade, but can’t find anything similar or a name. I know they are not sold separately. Can you suggest an equivalent in a single shadow? Thank you.

    Q: What is the lid color in Mocha Motion. I seem to use that up before the other colors and have to throw away the unused colors.

    • A: Hello! Thank you for your question regarding our Expert Wear Eyeshadow Quads. We understand how frustrating it is to run out of your favorite shade first! While there isn't an exact single-shadow match for the lid color in our Mocha Motion quad, we recommend checking out our Expert Wear Eyeshadow singles in shades like Tastefully Taupe or Sterling Greige for a similar beautiful result. We also invite you to explore our other single shadow options to find the perfect individual shade to complement your routine! XO

    Q: I purchased a Lavender Smokes eyeshadow recently and there was no applicator wand in it despite it being sealed. I returned it to my retailer. I had to go elsewhere to find it and this one was without an applicator as well???? How am I supposed to use it?

    • A: The same thing just happened to me!! I thought I opened it and had dropped the applicator so I was looking everywhere! 😂. Apparently, it’s a common thing! I also purchased the larger palettes in multiple colors, The City Mini, and those don’t have applicators either. Normally, at home, I’d use a brush, but I bought these specifically for travel and convenience of having the applicator in them. Oh well.

    Q: No applicator?? It's an empty space. Looks like you've been having a quality control issue. I purchased this from CVS, had a very hard time getting it open (tough plastic seal), and the applicator space is empty. What's up?
