Overall, I found the texture and consistency of the new cream shadows to be heavenly–smooth and rich in color. These are not crease-resistant, at least not on their own, and perhaps with the right base and setting tools (shadows or maybe even Invisible Set) would be needed to optimize their lasting power. MAC Make Up Artist Paula advised to use these on the lid and brow, but avoid using it in the crease if you fear creasing problems. I’ve been given other tips like using a base underneath the new cream shadows or to ensure you pack on enough powder products (like shadows, for instance) to maximize staying power. The glitter liners were pretty, and a first for me (in person, at least), so I made sure to pick up one. I felt that the liners had good color payoff – they were clearly different colors when swatched. I only purchased Plum Electric & Pure Ore cream shadows and Blitzed glitter liner.

This fall, the MAC AIDS Fund is marking a momentous milestone – $100 million raised to help fight HIV and AIDS around the world. The money represents the sale, over the past 13 years, of more than 7.1 million VIVA GLAM lip products of which 100 per cent of the sale price has gone to the work of the Fund.
Our $100 million landmark has been reached with enormous commitment from our VIVA GLAM spokespeople, MAC makeup artists and dedicated customers, said MAC AIDS Fund Executive Director, Nancy Mahon. The only thing more exciting about reaching this milestone is the prospect of setting and reaching our next fundraising goal and continuing our grant-making and partnerships around the world.
