A newcomer to the wonder of cream eyeshadows, I have fallen head over heels for Clinique's Quick Eyes Cream Shadow. When first purchased I didn't see the fuss about it, and bought after hearing Zoe Foster rave about it. There was also a GWP going on which I wanted, so didn't have much to lose. The shade Zoe loves is Muffin, a warm chocolatey shade.
There are 9 colours in the range that are quite similar in my opinion, I would love to see Clinique bring out some brights or more vivid colours in this range, then it would be on like Donkey Kong!
Though the doe-foot applicator is comfortable on the eye, I find it distributes too much cream shadow for one eye, so I swipe some onto my finger before blending onto my eye. It has great staying power, and I find it even better when layered over a MAC paintpot (Chilled On Ice is my pick)
The best thing about this product is that it looks as though you've spent ages creating a gorgeous smoky bronzed eye, when in fact you've done little to no work at all.

Looks lovely on you, pretty girl. What have you got on your cheeks? (:
ReplyDeleteNice muffin!! How does the cream formula wear/last ? I hate when cream formulas do that Creasy thing. Did you find that with this? As love the idea .....
ReplyDeleteOn my cheeks lie MAC Springsheen and a light dusting of Nars Laguna bronzer=)
ReplyDeleteAnd I find the cream formula wears well, pretty creaseless and is unbeatable over a paintpot. I'm the same with cream shadows, hate the creasing, but these are lovely and don't=)
I like this idea, might have to give it a go. Seems simple, and I like simple :p
ReplyDeleteI have MAC Springsheen on my cheeks with a touch of Nars Laguna bronzer. The formula wears well, lasts well and even better over a paintpot. Such a quick and simple option, wish they had more colours.
