More Lid Color and Bring Back the Applicator!!
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???

No more applicator in the package
No more applicator! Now I have to buy them and they're not as good. Last year I thought it was a mistake but now I know it's a cost saver. The heck with you, Maybelline! I hope no one buys your eyeshadows anymore.

Your feedback is very important to us, and we will certainly share your comments with our product and design teams. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future, but we completely respect your honesty.

Beyond being cheap
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……
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 2 months ago
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
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!

Applicators not included.
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.

Inaccurate picture or product
The product didn’t match the picture and the applicators were missing. I bought it through a deal (buy four get $10 go) so there’s no point in returning it. Will try to exchange it

Removed applicator as a cost saving!
I am very disappointed in the new packaging, which removes the applicator! Most of the time that I buy a replacement, is to replace the applicator! I usually have plenty of eye shadow left in the compact. Now I am going to changes brands after 20 years. I hope they are happy with their cost savings because they are going to lose all their customers!

DO BETTER TARGET!!!
I’ve worn Maybelline designer chocolates for 30 years or more same with their blush. Amazing products. Unfortunately, TARGET shipped one eyeshadow in a paper bag and, of course, it got crushed. Now I have to take it back to TARGET and exchange it. DO BETTER!!! Ugh! I’m so mad at you right now TARGET!

No applicator
No applicator included despite space for one. Eyeshadow colors are decent but no applicator ruins product.

A Staple in My Makeup Bag
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.

No applicator
I bought this so I had a backup "on the go", but it had no applicator. It makes no sense because there is an obvious space for one. Very disappointed.

eyeshadow quad 080 with NO APPLICATOR INSIDE! :(
Great colors but NO applicator included. I have always purchased this product which included 2 small but at least two applicators inside. This purchase had NO applicator at all! Very upset and disappointed
