Makeup Forever Cream Eyeshadow

I actually got this eyeshadow in New York last December and for some reason it has just sat in my drafts. I don’t know why as I really like it, and still don’t understand why I haven’t published it. Was I keeping it for a rainy day?! This is my first Makeup Forever product, even though they are now on sale in the UK. I do intend to buy more of their stuff, and more colours in this but just haven’t got around to it.. nearly Christmas after all. I love cream eyeshadows so when this caught my eye I knew I wanted to try at least one colour. I opted for shade #13 which is a golden/beige colour, this is one of my favourite colours to get as a cream eyeshadow as they make you look like you’ve made more of an effort with your makeup.

This colour swatches to exactly the same colour thats in the pan and has a lovely gold sheen to it. It works nicely on its own or add some darker brown powder to create a smokey eye effect. I’ve been using this as a primer under my eyeshadow and it’s can be used as a great base and helps it last longer. It’s a bit similar formula wise to the Mac Paint pots, which I also love and now have quite a few of.

The only downside to this is the pots design, the lip on the pot is about a cm high so it makes it harder to reach the product if you have longer nails. So I do have to be careful using this or it’s all up in my nails and takes ages to get out properly, but I’m making do as I love the formula of the product and the colour. My local Debenhams still doesn’t sell this in store, so think it will have to be an online purchase. Which is a shame as I really want to try their foundation range out but I hate buying foundation online, I don’t want to be an umpa lumpa!

Have you tried any of Makeup Forever’s products? Is there anything you would recommend?
