Like most makeup novices, you probably run when you see the words “cream eyeshadow.” Your eyeshadow creases, right? A cream will never last on you, right? Wrong. Try Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color. Not only are the range of colors beautiful (I am flipping over Sunshower—orangeorangeorange all the time!), but this product has serious staying power. The mousse-like texture can either be applied lightly and blended for a natural look, or, with a more generous swipe, made to look like you packed on several layers of a standard powder eyeshadow—perfect for this season’s intense smoky eye (yes, it’s in for spring). It works well alone or as a base to your powder shadows if you’re interested in a multi-colored look. Shiseido is looking out for our delicate eyelids as well; unlike powder eyeshadows, each of these colors is formulated to hydrate the skin. Not only are you getting a gorgeous color finish, but you’re moisturizing at the same time. Wins all around. Available at www.shiseido.com.
