The Illusion d’Ombre formula is a cream eyeshadow that applies like a cream but dries down and feels more like a powder, as it remains blendable and doesn’t cling or feel tacky. The texture is smooth, blendable, and forgiving on the skin. It had good color coverage, though not quite opaque in one layer, that can be sheered out, if desired, as it is quite easily diffused. On me, this shade stayed on for nine hours before creasing slightly.
