Very difficult to apply evenly. I have tried applying with fingers, a brush and a sponge applicator- results still stink. creases terribly even over UD shadow primer. will try recommendation of using w/powder shadow.

I had to give a tip since I actually work at a Chanel counter. Chanel's tips to prevent creasing: Put the cream eyeshadow on first, then follow with a light dusting of a coordinating powder eyeshadow. An eyeshadow base also helps.

Now, my personal opinon: These are very pretty, but they crease on anyone with even slightly oily eyelids. They are my least favorite Chanel product, and I don't recommend them.

I love the color of Atlantis. It makes me look very radiant. But it creases so fast and when I pat my fingers over the crease to try and spread it out, the color comes off so I have to reapply every so often. I'm still trying to find a way to prevent the creasing since I already tried putting on powder first. The color is so beautiful though like the other reviewers have stated. I also wish they'd provide an applicator since it's cream and I don't want it on my fingers afterwards. But all in all, Beautiful Color. A Must have Color.

I have quite a few of Chanel's Ombre Creme Unique including Peninsula, Riviera, Neptune and Artic. This one, Atlantis, was my first purchase. It's a beautiful, unusual color...a sheer pastel green with hints of silver and gold. You'll find yourself reaching for it especially when you want a slightly shimmery highlighter without glitter. Chanel's creme shadows are the best on the market...lovely colors, easy to use and they last throughout the day. Since my skin in on the drier side, these work wonderfully for me. I am not sure how they would work for someone with oily lids as this product is truly a creme and not creme to powder...using Lancome's Color Dose or Fresh's Eye Luster as a base prevents creasing of Chanel's cream shadows.

I love this shadow- it really makes me feel like a mermaid princess or something when I wear it. Of course it comes in Chanel's signature black case (with mirror). Inside is the most gorgeous shimmering iridescent pearly lime green (with a touch of blue). Looks so great in spring time. It is a little pricey (I think $21.50?), but a little goes a LONG way and I've had mine for months and theres hardly a dip! Another thing is that this stuff needs a base (like MAC paints) or will crease in about an hour.

I love the color and it stays on forever. This will look good on Asians,Americans,African Americans, everyone. It's beautiful. A tad expensive I know but it's true, it's worth every penny that you pay!!!

I love the staying power of these, and this particular color is lovely when used with a light touch. I have hazel eyes, and auburn hair, and am so glad to be over only wearing browns and taupes. Love it!

This one is the fun one of the group of cream shadows. It is a shimmering light aqua green color. I purchased it to wear in combo with the Flourine quilted shadow in order to boost that color a bit. These cream shadows make awesome shadows alone or under another shadow and they don't crease. $21.50 and worth every penny.
