Benefit Holy Smokes Creaseless Cream Shadow
Benefit Holy Smokes Creaseless Cream Shadow ($20.00 for 0.16 oz.) is described as a “smoldering charcoal.” It’s a darkened gray-brown–a really, really dark taupe–but as it sheers out, it becomes more and more taupe in color. Tarte Concrete Jungle is a bit lighter. Inglot #444 is browner. MAC Nebula is a bit darker. Make Up For Ever #2 is lighter.
Holy Smokes can be built to more opaque color, but it is best done in layers, because otherwise it has a tendency to gather in the creases while it is setting. The consistency felt a little thicker and wetter compared to some of the other shades in the range, and a thicker layer sometimes would crease just slightly. It took about thirty seconds for a full, opaque layer of product to dry, whereas a sheerer and thinner layer took ten to fifteen seconds. Once set, it didn’t crease or fade for the next twelve hours.

Too bad it doesn’t apply effortlessly. I actually liked the color.
I’ll more than likely look into the MUFE cream instead.
Lovely color, this is one of those shades that probably work for a lot of people.
Totally loving this colour! It’s going onto my “to buy” list (once I try it out in-store, of course).
Wow that is really dark. It’s a very pretty shade but I think I prefer a more mid-tone taupe/grey
I really love Benefit Cream shadow, so easy and quick!
nice colour
I’m a total sucker for Taupes, so I will probably pick one up sometime this week! I’ve been looking for a dark taupe eyeshadow base, so maybe this will work for me!
