They are cream to powder which should cause them to wear well. However, I did read that they are not claiming to be “crease less”. And, they will come in larger containers than regular eye shadows. I am assuming that they will be more opaque.

All of the MAs I talked to said they are not the best long wearing formula; you really have to do a bit of experimentation and work to get them to stay for awhile. It’s going to be pertinent to set with a powder, because alone I’ve heard they will crease and fade. They are the size of cream colour bases.

I am in l-o-v-e with the makeup on the model in the promo photo. I’ve been on a white makeup kick ever since I picked up the white CCB. I wish I had the guts to wear it around town on my cheeks, looking crazy!
