![]() They can also be used alone or as a base under powder eye shadows. The pigmentation is nice and you can customise its strength by building it up through using a brush or using your fingers to give a sheer wash of colour to the eyelid, however I did find that a thick layer did tend to crease and flake a little so I prefer to use them in a sheerer way. When using your fingers, the product almost melts and becomes a gorgeous silky texture that’s easily applied over the eyes. The product itself has a very light and smooth texture and can be applied both with a brush or your fingers. The Cream Eye Colors are a gorgeous eye shadow product that is housed in small pots. These also come in 14 shades so there’s definitely one to suit everyone. Another highlight of the product is its sleek packaging, which I love! The lid of the lipstick features a clear window (allows you to easily identify the shade) which you push down to release the lipstick which you then pull out and use. I’m able to get about 3 – 4 hours of wear before needing to reapply. The sheen finish dies down as the wear time increase and this product does leave the lips with a stain. The formula is very lightweight on the lips and because of the creamy texture, it gives a lovely glossy finish with a nourishing feeling – the lips are moisturised and given a plump and ‘juicy’ appearance. Pigmentation wise, they are reminiscent of a lip crayon where you can either get a light wash of colour or build it up to something more intense though these do not go totally opaque. The product has a balm like texture that is really moisturising on the lips, allowing them to be applied easily as they just glide on. I often opt for something lighter on the lips in Summer and these are absolutely perfect. These beautiful pops of colour are perfect for you to incorporate as the weather heats up! See my disclosure policy here.Today I’ll be introducing you all to the new fresh Summer shades that Mary Kay has recently added to their cosmetic collections. All thoughts and views are completely my own, and are always 100% honest. *I was kindly sent these for consideration. If you live in Australia or NZ, you can purchase MK here.ĭo you use cream eyeshadows? Do you prefer to apply them using a brush or your fingers? I haven't tried them but from looking at the website, they look amazing!! There's so many different colours that would work well with the Cream Eye Colors. Mary Kay also sell individual Mineral Eye Color s (eyeshadows) in a variety of colours. A brown, grey, white, pink and orange would be fantastic additions to the line. I'd love to see more colours in the range. I've really been impressed with these over the last 2 days. While they aren't expensive, they're pricier than the Maybelline Colour Tattoos or the Face Of Australia Budge Proof Cream Eyeshadow. These are fragrance free and are perfect for anyone with sensitive skin. Because it's made for cream shadows, you can also use it as a lip brush as well as a concealer brush. ![]() It's easy to use and isn't too large, so it's great for those (like me) that have smaller eyelids. I love the effect as it makes the eyeshadow look more multidimensional. With the cream shadow underneath, it made the Trish McEvoy powdered shadow go from a satin finish to a gorgeous metallic sheen. ![]() The cream eyeshadow sets really quickly (within 2 minutes) and I used a Real Techniques eyeshadow brush to apply my Trish McEvoy light brown eyeshadow, from the Beauty Emergency Card palette. On Sunday, I used the Glacier Grey again as a base colour, followed by a powder eyeshadow. I normally do get creasing (with cream products) but didn't use an eye primer so I could see how effective it was on oily eyelids. I just went over my crease with the brush and it disappeared. ![]() In the afternoon, I did notice a small amount of creasing. I applied both colours with the Mary Kay Cream Eye Color/Concealer Brush* and wiped the brush on a tissue after using the first colour to make sure I didn't dip one colour into the other. ![]() To stop the colours getting muddled, I let the base colour dry then used the crease colour. On Saturday, I used Glacier Grey as an all over lid colour, followed by Violet Storm along my crease. I've been trialling the cream eyeshadows over the last 2 days and wanted to do a first impressions review. I used eyeshadows from Maybelline, ELES, Essence and Mac Factor. I used different finishes and different brands to see how effective the cream eyeshadow would be with different pigments and quality. ![]()
