I'm not usually a fan of cream eye shadows because they always crease so badly, especially on my oily lids. I first heard about this product on MakeupByTiffanyD from Youtube. I thought the color looked gorgeous so I went out and bought it at the Benefit counter in Macys (at the time I got a 20% employee discount!) This retails for $19 for 0.16oz.
I've had this for over a year now, and I must say this is one of the best cream eye shadows I've used. It's a nice taupe-silver color and is a perfect neutral to wear all over the lid. I use this as a base all the time when I do a dark smoky eye, or if I want to keep it neutral I just top it with a light color (Urban Decay Ruthless) or a similar taupe color (MAC Satin Taupe or MAC Smoke and Diamonds). This is really long lasting for me. It's not completely crease-proof, but it lasts about 7 hours without creasing if I use a primer underneath. I haven't used this as an eyeliner, only as an eye shadow so I can't say how well it wears. Overall I highly recommend this product! I'd love to try their other colors too. Anyone have any recommendations for other good cream shadows?
