Except the Highlight shade all the rest of the Shades in the quad a mattes. The Highlight shade has a bit of a shimmer however its looks more of a satin finish when you apply.
If you are new to applying eye shadow you can use these as listed. The Base color all over the lid, the Contour color on the crease the Define color to define the outer V and the highlight to highlight the brow bone. You can also mix and match the colors to create whatever look you like. I like using this by itself when I'm pressed for time but I also mix In other shimmery colors on top of this to give me more options. The looks that come out of using these quads are very neutral and wearable.
If you think that the Shades on this Quad are similar to the Original Shade and Light eye contour palette you are correct. They are similar however not exact. None of the shades are actual duplicates of the original palette.
The quality of the shade are very true to Kat von D eye shadow formula. They do kick up a lot of shadow when you out your brush into the pans but picks up a nice amount of product and blend very nicely on the eyes. The Mattes blend nicely on top of one another as well
All in all I think this is a nice Quad however if you have the original Shade and light palette you might want to pass on this particular Quad as this is very similar.
