I was afraid to try this cream eye shadow as Ithought it would be too glittery. It does have some shine but is soft and subtle. This is the second time I have ordered this color. For me, I must use an shadow base or else it will crease; however, with a primer, it lasts all day. I use a synthetic brush to apply. The brush that comes with the shadow is pretty useless.
I was a skeptical as to weather or not this eye shadow would truly be long lasting since it has a creamy texture. I am happy to say it does stay on...at least 6 hours, which is about all I expect from any shadow normally. Also, I love that its easy to apply, I just use my ring finger... and it really is a chic color. Just the right amount of shine and sparkle for a daytime or evening look (if you layer with it).
