👁️FAVORITE CREAM EYESHADOW FORMULA?
ColourPop SSS

👁️FAVORITE ONE-AND-DONE CREAM EYESHADOW?
I never wear creams as one-and-dones.

👁️FAVORITE APPLICATOR FOR CREAM EYESHADOW?
For sparkly lid shades, my ring finger. Otherwise, a flat synthetic brush or foam applicator. It depends on the shadow and what I’m doing with it.

Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)

Favorite cream eyeshadow formula? If CP SSS’s count, then those. If not, then I can definitely see myself purchasing a few from Phytosurgence in the very near future.

Favorite one-and-done cream eyeshadow? With these hooded almond shaped eyes, no such thing! But this due to my needing to create dimension, not the fault of any of my cream eyeshadows. I do believe that I could pull it off with one of those aforementioned Phytosurgence ones, though.

Favorite applicator for cream eyeshadow? My clean fingertips! Or a flat synthetic shader brush to pick up and deposit product first, followed with a fluffy synthetic blending brush, if so needed.

Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Favorite cream eyeshadow formula? the one Clarins used to have (a cream to powder) or a similar one from Lise Watier because they didn’t/don’t dry out and the same applies to those I have from L’Oreal.

Favorite one-and-done cream eyeshadow? So many of my favourites are now unusable (they dried out
fairly quickly, though a few, I’ve been able to “revive” with Inglot Duraline). Probably my favourites are from L’Oreal – both Tender Caramel and Bronzed Taupe (both might be LE) are great “one and done” shades. And MAC Painterly holds a special place in my heart and always will.

Favorite applicator for cream eyeshadow? Either my finger or a small synthetic brush from Sonia Kashuk.

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

Favorite cream eyeshadow formula? Maybelline’s Burgundy Bar – soft champagne and gold shades, with a light taupe, a couple of burgundy shades and a bronze colour. The formula is long wearing and easy to apply.

Favorite one-and-done cream eyeshadow? I don’t think I have one – but I would like a rose gold shade.

Favorite applicator for cream eyeshadow? I have a soft brush that I use for applying these eyeshadows. I never use my fingers to apply eyeshadow at all.

Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, almost-black hair with natural grey highlights

Favorite cream eyeshadow formula: The only cream eyeshadow I own is MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre.

Favorite one-and-done cream eyeshadow: I use my MAC Paint Pot only as a primer for powder shadow.

Favorite applicator for cream eyeshadow: My finger.

Favorite cream eyeshadow formula? Sugar Drizzle Liquid Sugar Multichrome Eyeshadows (if those count as cream? they seem like cream shadow to me?)

Favorite cream eyeshadow formula? Probably CP SSS, but I do love MAC Paint Pot as well. MAC used to have cream eyeshadows in small tubes, I loved those. It was a long tima ago and I can’t recall what they were called
Favorite one-and-done cream eyeshadow? If I was to use any cream eyeshadow as a one and done it would probably be CP SSS, but I need a bit of transition and browbone eyeshadow as well.
Favorite applicator for cream eyeshadow? That depends, finger, flat brush or sometime a fluffier brush.
