This is absolutely gorgeous. I picked this up at the CCO and was really impressed by the gorgeousgreen based taupe color, smooth application and amazing staying power. Estee Lauder makes some beautiful complex shades and the consistency is spot-on to MAC's Paint Pots (they probably are the same since they're both made by EL). This goes on well with fingers or a brush (MAC 242) and lasts all day without creasing. I use this as a lid wash by itself with a medium brown in the crease and highlight. Beautiful and polished. Can't say enough great things about this product and will be purchasing more colors in the future.

Loving this! I was searching for a cool-toned cream eyeshadow for ages, couldn't find any, untill I happened across this at an EL counter. Of course when I went to buy it, they didn't have any ;-( as it was LE. I hunted it down on ebay and really adore it. Gorgeous taupey-grey. One sheer layer looks pretty matte, but if you pat another layer on when the first is dry, it really adds a gorgeous shimmer and complexity. Have also tried it with a sheer wash of BE Celestine and it was really beautiful. I am having such fun playing with this!

This is one of the best cream shadows I have used. Amazing it stays all day. Great as a base or wear it alone. I will definitely buy it in more colors.

Silver Leaf is a great base for my many greys and blues!!! It makes the depth/complexity of every shadow just pop!! This was a nice surprise! Although I wouldn't wear it alone, it could be..and it applies well, and lasts! I will probably never get to the end of this large jar, because I have a few I use for daily looks (silver doesn't cut it in the hospital). However, I will purchase it again when I get close to running out. This is a LE.

I recently purchased these ShadowCreme's in Golden Sands, Rich Bronze, Antique Gold, Silver Leaf, and Deep Orchid. These are beautiful colors on my lids!! They stay put (even on my uber-oily lids), & I get no allergic reaction (and I'm allergic to everything!)!! I'd been using Mac Paint Pots, and although those work nicely, the colors didn't complement the looks I wanted to achieve. ShadowCremes are easier/smoother to apply, they DO last all day, and are so pretty that I find myself wearing them alone; these have given me so many new options! Such as Golden Sands as the highlighter, Antique Gold on the lid, and Sumptuous Olive or Patina (MAC) or Cinnamon (EL) in the crease. They last through my 12-14 hour shifts (often wearing a plastic medical mask--which destroys most all makeup). I hope to get back ups of the LE colors, but these will last a very long time.
