Cream shadows are everywhere at the moment, probably the most versatile of eye products. Used on there on they give your lids a vibrant easily blendable wash of colour or layered with powder shadows give intense colour and longer creaseless staying power. Nars Cream Shadow in Petula $39.00 is a very burnt toffee orange bronze with a slight shimmer to it, my lovely friend Alyssa let me pop it on her beautiful lids this afternoon. Alyssa doesn't wear much make up if any, so a cream shadow is perfect for her to wear on its own to define her eyes with or without mascara. It applied very smoothly - concentrating more product closer to the lash line and blending up. Petula is a colour which on lighter skin tones looks like an on trend bright colour because it does pop out very orange and even more so with blue eyes BUT on women of colour especially South East Asian skin tones this would look OUT OF CONTROL AMAZING WITH A KOHL LINER! Blended up onto the check bone!
GORGEOUS!
Nars is great brand and this product is really lovely to work with but there are a few other options if you are wanting to try out cream shadows:
Mac Paint Pots $35.00
Maybelline Colour Tattoo - This isn't available in Australia yet but I am so excited, it is apparently comparable to the Mac paint pots, at a lower price point.
Love your new banner & Alyssa's cream shadow!
