cream or non-crease eyeshadow?

summerspring

It's been a while since I last bought any make-up and I am looking for an eye-shadow, maybe in a natural or a subtle green/grey shade that doesn't crease or rub off easily. Does anyone know if you can still get cream or liquid eyeshadows (the powder ones last about half an hour on me before they start to crease!) or can anyone recommend me one?

At the moment I am just using an eye pencil which I smudge over the eyelid to get the eye-shadow sort of effect.

thanks

Check out Laura Mercier Caviar Eyeshadow Sticks.
Bobbi Brown also does them.

I use Bobbi Brown and have a neutral shade of cream for my lids and then I put powder eye shadow on the top again from Bobbi Brown, they never crease and always look amazing. It also lasts for ages.

Another vote for Bobbi Brown - they look pricey but they last for ages. I've got their cream eyeshadows and love them

Maybelline 24hr Eye Tattoos, comes in a little jar, theres some neutral taupe and muted gold shades. Amazing for the price, they've replaced my MAC paint pots for sure.

Thankyou. I have had a quick look at the Bobbi Brown online and price-wise they seem to be about on a par with Clinique, who I think also do cream shadow. (Has anyone tried their chubby stick for eyes?)

I've not heard of Laura Mercier before, it also looks to be a premium range?

I will check out the Maybelline when I'm next in Boots, too, thankyou

Fragrance Direct have five of the Maybelline 24 Hour eye Tattoo colours available at only £1.50 each, which even with the addition of a £1.99 postage charge is cheaper than the usual £4.99 each (or 3 for 2 with Boots current offer).

I've discovered Boots No7 Stay Perfect Smoothing Eyeshadow and it's fantastic. I use the Nude shade as a base for powder eyeshadow as well as using the colours Pewter, Bronze etc on their own. I have very very oily eyelids and these are the only shadows that actually stay put without creasing or sliding off. They're £8 each although currently Buy One Get One Half Price plus there are £3 off make up vouchers being given out at Boots with purchases of £5 or more.

Mac cosmetics has its own website too. I just linked to Debenhams cause Debenhams is in my bookmarks.
Ive used both of these and found them great.


Have you tried applying your powder eyeshadows with a wet brush? Not only are the colours more vibrant. They last longer too.

I have found using an eyeshadow primer means that eyeshadow lasts longer and don't crease on me. I used to get creasing with whatever eyeshadow I used to it's been a life saver for me.
