My friend Jen recently asked me how to apply cream eyeshadow because she had purchased some of the new Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye Chrome Cream Eyeshadows from the Maybelline Summer 2016 Collection. She was struggling with building the color up and explained that each time she applied, it would quickly sheer out as she blended.
She went on to tell me this was the reason she never purchased cream eyeshadows and how much she hated the formula. I can relate! For a long time, I hated cream eyeshadows! I found the formula gunky and difficult to apply. In 2008, I discovered Visee Aqua Shining Eyes and my cream eyeshadow world was forever changed. Visee is a fantastic Japanese brand that launched a range of shimmering cream eyeshadows I absolutely adored. Obviously the sparkle factor was the key selling point for me but I also learned a lot about cream eyeshadow application after purchasing all the shades available in the catalog!
