It seems that all Tom Ford Cream Color for Eyes are limited edition (INFURIATING) but when they come around, do pick one up because they are gorgeous. Overall, I like them best as a base for powder eyeshadows because the finish is ‘grippy’, a magnet for anything you pat on top.

The colour selection is decent (or vast if you jump on the limited edition boat, I ain’t got time for dat) but the formula is a bit dryer and not something I would recommend to more mature or textured lids because at times, it even makes my 23 year old lids look crepey.Ī big plus: The MAC Paint Pot line has plenty of matte options, a gem in an otherwise shimmer loaded market. Never fear, you can revive Paint Pots with some glycerine on a finger, rubbed over the surface of the product. This picture above depicts the MAC Paint Pot lifecycle: New and pristine (Layin Low), dry and shrinking (Painterly) and plain old haggard (Artifact). I’ve since blogsaled Black Diamonds and Amber Haze is the next to go, I have too many complex bronze eyeshadows to justify the struggle with this one. Cream eyeshadows are meant to be easy yo. Some shades kick up silver glitters and others are a pain in the ass to blend – lots of dragging and patchiness. Much babble on Colour Chameleons here but in a nutshell, beautiful shades and a hassle to apply. Charlotte Tilbury – Colour Chameleon Cream Eyeshadows I wish there was a bit more slip to the formula but the shades are on point.

A little smudge on the lash line is easy peasy but when trying to create a smokey eye, I’m left with steps and tide lines that require powder eyeshadows to ease the transition. The two satin shades (Brown Perfection and Velvet Orchid, which look more shimmery than usual in these swatches due to direct sunlight) are trickier formulas, they don’t seem to blend as well as they set so darn quickly. I have conflicting thoughts on the By Terry Ombre Blackstars, the shimmery shades (Bronze Moon and Misty Rock) are perfectly executed complex metallic goodness without the frost factor. Look at dat pretteh <3 By Terry – Ombre Blackstar Cream Eyeshadows I’m hard to please in this arena, here are my findings and mini reviews on noteworthy formulations (plus swatches of select shades, not all shades because we don’t have all year). My experience couldn’t be further from that claim I find the vast majority of cream eyeshadows on the market to set quickly and blend poorly, all round more work than they’re worth.

What started as a cream eyeshadow smackdown quickly turned into an encyclopaedia of cream eyeshadows (and not even the full extent of my stash… don’t judge).Ĭream eyeshadows have a reputation for being brainless, fuss-free, 2 minute options for everyday eyeshadow looks.
