Don't use this as an eyeshdow! This is the best contour/highlight ever, as it's sheer, the perfect balance of a cream/powder texture so it looks less harsh than your regular contour. The darker colours are perfect for contouring and you can mix them to find the perfect match. Foolproof!

This has got to be one of the worst eyeshadows I have ever tried. Such a disappointment considering Revlon is a rather reliable brand and the packaging is so lovely. The entire cream to powder notion of it was a complete and utter fail as it didn't go from cream to powder at all! It was hard to apply in general because of its creamy texture and it didn't stay put on my eyelids either. Because it was creamy and not dry like other eyeshadows, it creased badly after an hour or so and it just looked terrible from then on. I would definitely not recommend this to anybody and I'm certainly never purchasing this again.

When I got this product, I really wanted to love it. The packaging is really cute and the colors look gorgeous. I have two colors: Plumberry and Buff. Unfortunately, they don't work. When you first put them on they look really great, but they crease soooo quickly. I love the colors, especially the Plumberry palette which works really nicely with my eyes. They're not very pigmented, but they're pigmented enough so that you can notice them. They don't even work that well as a base because they end up creasing the shadow that's on top too. I will continue to wear them until I use them up (I'll just have to keep touching up throughout the day), but I won't be repurchasing. Overall, I wanted to love this product, but you just can't love a product when it creases so badly and just doesn't work.

i dont understand why there are so many negative reviews for this product, maybe i have weirdly dry eyelids? or maybe i was expecting them to be really subtle and sheer anyway? because i absolutely loved these shadows. i had been hunting high and low for simple neutral shades that would look natural, and these were absolutely the ticket. i found them to be really blendable, and i really didnt have any problems with the staying power after using them with either urban decay primer potion or tarte lifted eye primer. i loved the shimmer in them, because it wasnt too frosty, but it still had a nice reflective quality that gave a subtle emphasis to the natural eye. i was forced to switch to a different approach when i ran out and couldnt find a replacement, but it was nice while it lasted, and i would definitely have repurchased tham it it was possible.

Worst eyeshadows ever. They don't really show up, and even if they do, they don't last for more than about an hour before they're all just an ugly, shimmery line up in my crease. Horrible. Have tried these multiple times and have been disappointed each time. Even though it was a really cheap product, I would never repurchase, and I won't be using mine anymore.

This is probably the worst product I've ever tried. I tried using the shadows 3 different times. Once without primer, once with UDPP, and once with NARS' primer. Each time the shadow creased within 1-2 hours. By creased I don't mean there was a tiny bit of creasing..It looked like I put on globs of lotion and then decided to add a little eyeshadow. I've never experienced such bad creasing. I don't have oily lids either. The colors are pretty, pigmented, and blend easily but the formula is horrible. This makes me wonder whether Revlon actually tested this product at all. Save your money. I can't believe I wasted the $2 and whatever cents that I bought this for on sale. My final thought on this product is WTF.

I got this for 75% off at CVS and it wasn't even worth that. The pigmentation was horrible. It didn't show up at all. I am going to try and see if I can get away with using these as bases and will let you all know. So far not impressed!

I thought this would be my new HG eyeshadow. Probably only if it was like the other creme eyeshadow Revlon has, it would do but it's not, It's sucks, I think its the worst in quality of a product that I ever bought.

This is EXACTLY why I don't like buying things without reading reviews first. This product is terrible! There is absolutely NO pigmentation. I am glad I got it for 75% off. It might work as a base, but that's about it. I really want to like this eyeshadow, but it's not working for me. Revlon can't do mascara or eyeshadow right.

I just got this yesterday but have tried many ways to make it work. I think I may have found one.

I put Coastal Scents gel liner in Summer Fun on my lid. Not too much. Then dab the lightest Revlon shadows on my lid, trying not to get much into the crease. Then take the darker colors and put them above my crease. Because they are natural and pretty, it dosent look extreme at all. Its been about an hour and they haven't creased yet!

This is exactly as the other negative reviews say it is - it sucks. It's not even worth the $2.19 I paid for it on clearance so don't fall for that like I did and be glad this is getting dc'd if indeed that's the case. I can't even bring myself to unload this on some poor swapper as an extra hoping someone else can use it because I don't see how anyone could. WTH was Revlon thinking? I like quite a few things in their Beyond Natural line but this is beyond horrible; I can find no way to use it so that it works at all, and I'm not even in the oily-eyelid category! I even tried as a face highlighter/blush because Plumberry was so pretty shade-wise, but it still doesn't show up much less stick around enough to notice (pun intended). The round file will probably be the only one seeing this sad excuse for e/s. Sorry Revlon, better luck next time, or maybe give up on creme e/s altogether since none of them seem to work out too well for you.

I acually like these eyeshadows...but not for eyeshadows...
I was given the Buff shade from my gradmother because she thought it was blush (hahaha I know right) so when she told be it was blush i put it on my cheecks. I like the to lighter shades for a highlight on my apples of my cheecks i like th etwo darker shades to mix with other crappy cream eyeshadows :)

Ok, im very lucky bc i found these @ my local big lots (discount store) a few months ago. They only had two of 4 shades for $3 each. So, i picked up 4 in diff shades. Ok, as a cream shadow alone, i find dont show up great but i rarely use cream shadows alone, i use as bases for my powder shadows. And im telling you, these are great! Wish i could use 4ever but i duno if they still carry them and i saw once and @rite aid for $9 so its way to pricey since i luv elf cr. Shadow duos for $1 since i use as bases. I do use a primer and these shadow quads. I reach 4 them daily in my eye makeup. I use the light color 4 brow bone which looks great as is and 1 of the med tones in crease and then darkest to start outer v definition. The product itself looks yummy to me, like candy bc of ripples, its pretty. Using a thin layer blended with finger these work incredible to help my powder shadows stand out and stay forever. Im so glad i bought these. Theyre more creamy not waxy. If u want a cream shadow to use alone, duno if these are it. They are all neutral tones, no bright colors. They do provide a great base or subtle wash of color. Its like mac painterly or soft ochre paint pots, they even out eye area and make a great primer for shadows. Wish big lots or dollar store carried them 4ever but no such luck so i will see what happens when i run out. Im sad already bc theyve become a staple in my eye makeup routine : (

*update- well im sad to say that i have looked everywhere for more of these & havent found them :( it makes me sooo incredibly sad bc this have become my favorite cream base ever! out of alot of products including my Painterly Paint Pot & i still love them more. im not sure if its because i was lucky to get 3 of these quads & all of the 4 coordinating shades each of them, they all give me a smooth canvas & my shadows just stay put forever or until i get my makeup layer off my face. im sad to see these were d/c but its how it goes in my makeup journey- i found my HG product & it gets d/c :( revlon was def on the money w/ these quads. wish they would answer my prayers & just send me a lifetime supply of these quads- or even just 4 more?! yeah i am desperate to find a replacement or dupe but nothing compares but my Painterly will do, dont get me wrong i luv Painterly, its my only HE makeup item & its beautiful but i love my rEVLon Cream to Powder Shadow quads!
* if you hate these- id gladly take them off our hands & use them up, let me know & message me for id glady swap for these! i cannot find them anywhere & ive hit pan on mine :(

I bought the Plumberry shade on a drugstore-whim because the color was gorgeous. It's my own fault for thinking a cream shadow would work for me (I have never been successful with any I have tried), but I thought there would be at least an ounce of truth to the "Cream-to-Powder" claim. No such luck. It creased within an hour of putting it on, leaving my eyes looking sloppy and cheap. The subtle plum colors are still very pretty, but it's not worth it if it disappears shortly after putting it on.

I bought these on a whim when they were on sale. Just like every other cream eye shadow I've purchased from a drugstore, this palette doesn't deliver. The colors aren't that pigmented, and they crease on my oily eyelids at the end of the day, even with a primer. I can only use them to add highlights and touches of color to my finished eye makeup. I wouldn't recommend them, and I regret purchasing them.

I like the colors of these shadows and even the way they look when i first put them on. But I never felt the powder eye shadow that the product promises. It creases very quickly even when I put on urban decay primer potion. It's also kinda hard to blend and you have to use your fingers, no brush really works.
