I personally really like cream eyeshadows, even though my skin is rather oily. I love the long-wearing aspect of them, and I adore the vivid bright colors that you can usually count on. It’s kind of a pain to clean makeup brushes after using them, but it’s a trade off that I can live with. So when I saw that Maybelline had a new line of cream shadows on the market, I decided to take them for a test run. I chose Maybelline Eye Studio Cream Shadow Trio in Purple Possibilities
This is the look that I was hoping to achieve:
And this is what I got:
No. Do not like.
The product creased immediately, and was so transparent that I couldn’t tell there was much product there at all. Efforts to build up color just resulted in about half an inch of product on my lid.
Maybe you will have better luck. I personally won’t be buying it again. You can give it a whirl at most major mass retailers for about $5.99.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
That looks so disappointing, the false advertisement on that is ridiculous
I’m going to keep playing with it and see if I can’t get better results. But so far I’m not all that impressed.
