In recent months, I have written about a variety of products from the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place line, including most recently, the ShadowStick. And today, we are reviewing one more – ShadowCreme.
If you are looking for a fantastic cream eyeshadow, this one is a good bet. Like the other Double Wear products, I was impressed by its long-lasting formula. Using your fingertip, it goes on smooth and easily. The color is rich with most of the shades having a matee or slightly pearly finish.
Unlike some cream shadows, this one is very blendable. So if you prefer, you can layer …read more

In the past, I always stuck with powder eye shadow. My experience with cream and other formulas wasn’t good. They always ended up creasing, looking cake-y, or fading away by lunchtime. However in recent years, cream eye shadow improved.
In the last year, I have found a number of cream shadows that I love. They provide fabulous color and many of them last as long as traditional powder.
Then, I was introduced to Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place ShadowStick. Could it be? A convenient, quick eye shadow stick that went on smooth and lasted all day? Though I am a big fan …read more
