Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow Review & Swatches
Bobbi’s released five new shades of Long Wear Cream Shadow with her new Long Wear Collection. Is your makeup bag feeling lonely after adding these and her new eyeliners to your stash?
There’s something to be said about cream eyeshadow that locks on and wears without creasing all darn day.
Take a peek!
Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow isn’t a new product but it gets its own special release this Spring courtesy Bobbi’s new Lonely Makeup Bag campaign.
Several new shades have been added to the general catalog and a new focus on these extra long wearing cream eyeshadows comes into play. These come in little glass jars with screw tops. It deserves to be mentioned they have a great formula in terms of expiration. I’ve had some a year and they still have a freshly purchased creamy finish that hasn’t harden or dried out over time.
The formula has a certain denseness to it but still manages to have a creamy, easy to blend formula. I typically suggest fingers for application when it comes to cream shadows as they blend easier this way but in the case of these I actually recommend using some sort of flat top brush to get into place. A swipe across eyes will lend beautiful color but I suggest building for great intensity and drama.
The joy of the product is most definitely the wear. Without primer I can get a six hour wear from these before they show minor creasing. I find they have a mattifying finish that doesn’t dry down too quickly and gives you just the right amount of time to blend or build. Color with primer does have a better intensity and wear time showing at least a 10-12 period without creasing and/or fading.

Surprisingly the formula seems ideal for oily lids but you might want to prep a fair bit before hand as my best friend proclaims they crease on him very easily.
My drier lids don’t have an issue and I can get through my day without a hiccup.
As far as cream shadows go they are some of the nicer ones I’ve tried. The formula is very smooth and applies easily plus color pay off is excellent. I also like the fact the shades are very “grown up” as Bobbi doesn’t really offer a catalog of bright shades but concentrates on more neutrals and naturals to flatter older, aging eyes.
Overall, if you’re looking for something with a long wear in a creamy eyeshadow formula these prove a solid pick!
