I bought the cafe creme because I wanted a shade that wasn't glittery, to use everyday. I put it on over my entire lid. It smooths everything out, is subtle and stays on. There are pros to getting the containers with several shades, but in the end, one or two are always wasted. For that reason, I now prefer to have individual, neutral shades. The cafe creme is on the light side, but great as a neutral.
