When it comes to eyeshadows, I'm definitely a 'one-colour wash' kind of girl. My skills with blending are pretty non-existent and with a pretty casual everyday look, if I'm even wearing eyeshadow at all I want it to be as simple as possible. Unless I'm really making an effort, I will often reach for one of my cream single shadows as they are so easy to blend out and be done with in a matter of seconds.
My favorite cream formula has to be the Clarins Ombre Shadows. The formula is cream on applying, setting to a more powder like finish and stays put for hours. The matte color (not pictured) that I have, 01 Nude Beige, is pretty bland, but works well as a base, evening out the tone and covering up any veins, as well as making the eyes pop in a very subtle way. It's a regular of mine and the one that I probably wear the most. And the range of shimmer shades is amazing too. 01 Aquatic Rose and 05 Sparkle Grey are two of the releases for the summer collection, and have the most beautiful iridescent quality to them. The rose gold is great for a pretty day time look, and the darker for a more smoked out seventies eye - perfect for those summer nights.
Another cream formula I often wear is the cream eyeshadow from BornPrettyStore. The cool-toned taupe #3 suits me well for everyday wear, and is so easy to apply. The pigment is pretty good, and application is super simple - I just sweep it on with my finger and that's it. It works better as well because the warmth from the fingers helps to blend it out nicely, and the brush doesn't waste lots of product. Simples. The bronze #5 is also great if I want to mix things up a bit, and works really nicely with my brown eyes - it's bordering on slightly too warm for me but I love it never the less. I'd really recommend these for someone who likes a bit of a lie-in and wants a more lazy option - plus, for the price the results are amazing.
Do you want any of these shades?
