When it comes to makeup, I’m one of those people who thinks it all comes down to the eyes. Ever since I first started wearing makeup in my teenage years, I’ve always focused on making my eyes stand out as much as possible. Sure, I love a good blush and lip color, but to me it’s the perfect shade of eye shadow that can instantly take my look from day to night.
During the day I’m always out running around the city for meetings and errands, and sometimes those days lead right into a dinner, happy hour, or nighttime event. Ideally I’d like to be able to stop at home and re-do my makeup, but unfortunately I don’t always get the chance to do that. It’s on those jam-packed days that I need to be able to go right into my purse and pull out a few key makeup items to freshen up my look and get ready for the night ahead.
That’s why I was so excited when Target sent me three free Eye Quads from their Sonia Kashuk cosmetics line.
Before even applying the shadows, I instantly loved the color combinations of the palettes: Showstoppers, Fair and Square, and Shimmering Sands. Each of the palettes contain four shades to create multiple looks - two neutrals and two party-ready shimmers.
What I love about the shadows and shimmers most is that they have a smooth and creamy consistency. This makes it easy to blend and combine the shades together, which lends to a more natural look than other shadows I’ve tried. It also stays on better and longer than loose shadow does.

Target also sent me some other products from the Sonia Kashuk line: their Illuminating Bronzer, Satin Luxe Lip Color, and three shades of Nail Colour.

I love each and every one of these products almost as much as the Eye Quads! They all apply seamlessly and are great shades for the upcoming summer season.
But, like I said, I’m always partial to eye shadow. 
The combination of these Eye Quad matte shades and shimmering shadows is really what makes for the perfect combination to go from a day to night look in a snap. And that’s exactly what I need when those long work days quickly turn into nights out on the town!

Going from day to night for me involves a neutral eye to smokey & mixing a bolder lip with a stronger eye liner!

I go darker on my eyeshadow, a smoky eyeliner, and a good lip gloss. I have been eyeing up Sonia’s products at Target and have never bought them before. Now I just might, thanks to your review!
lighter to darker for the night
During the day I tend to wear warmer shades. At night I’ll do a smoky eye. I still wear colors with my night makeup but they’re cool shades.
If I don’t win, I will be on my way to Target!
Earth tones during the day, others at night.
Much more mascara and some pencil liner!!!
For day time I use a basic masquera and for night time I add to it a volumizing one.

Daytime is just eyebrows (mine are invisible) and a little mascara. I add eye shadow for evening.
I’m a fan of pretty dramatic eye makeup even during the day, so I don’t always do a transition, but most of the time I’ll add a darker shade and/or some shimmer.
I use eyeliner for nighttime.
I use darker eye shadow & more mascara.

I like to add a little sparkle eyeliner for nighttime.
I just add more eyeliner and it makes it look more dramatic.
To go from day to night I will apply a little darker eye shadow, more eyeliner, and a touch more mascara.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I like to do a few very quick, easy steps that I know will always make a big difference: add a coat of mascara, touch up eyeliner, and add some darker eyeshadow to the outside corners. It adds quick, beautiful drama.

For a night look my daughter retouches her mascara and adds a eye shadow that brings out her brown eyes or outfit. Her favorite brand to use is Loreal.

I always transform my look from day to night by adding more mascara, and eyeliner to the upper lash line. I then smudge the liner a bit to get a smokey effect. I love to use MAC’s Teddy Eye Kohl pencil to do this! Looks amazing
Since I don’t wear makeup, this is not an issue for me and I really don’t know how to answer it! Sorry! I hope that is OK! I only wear lip balm and toenail polish! LOL

I only wear eye shadow about twice a year when I perform with my chorus and I like a bit of sparkle.
Thanks for the contest.
