Revlon ColorStay™ Crème Eye Shadow
The Revlon ColorStay™ Crème Eye Shadow in Espresso is one of my go-to eyeshadows for easy morning makeup. It’s waterproof so it lasts all day and it’s so easy to apply! I find that it never creases either, which is a common problem with cream eyeshadow.

What makes the Avon mark. 18Hr Artist Eyeshadow Ink unique is its gel-cream formula which contains a Freshwear Complex. This ensures the highly-pigmented formula lasts all-day without fading.

Bobbi Brown’s Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks are available in 18 stunning shades, from bold statements to subtle nudes. Simply swipe across your eyelids for a lightweight wash of colour that lasts for up to eight hours.
Bodyography Cream Shadow
