All things beauty .

              I recently purchased The Maybelline Eyestudio Cream Eyeshadow and thought I would give you my thoughts on it. On all the reviews that I've read they say that they think it creases too much. Nobody really likes it. But to be perfectly honest, i love it. I didn't find creasing a problem. I bought mine in Flash of Forest mainly for the green because i don't have much green eyeshadow and I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone a little bit. Anyway, today I used this trio but instead of using the green, as I had intended, I used the champagne and the brown that came with it. I applied it with my ring finger which is something I had to get used to because after years of using eyeshadow brushes I felt very unprecise, if you will. I applied the champagne color and the first things I concluded to is that it is very shimmery. Im not one of those people that hates shimmer and sticks to matte, i find myself using both. But if you don't like shimmer, you wouldn't like this color. I also realized that it was a little bit goldish or yellowish. Very pretty considering I'm a packers fan(; But to tone down the gold I placed a nude toned eyeshadow on top of it. Next, with my ring finger again, I applied the brown to the outer part of my eye. I blended it in with my fingers a little bit, and finally gave in and used a blending brush to blend it all together. To intensify the color, I added a bit of my NYX eyeshadow on top of it in the color Deep Bronze. That's the end of the shadow. I curled my lashes and applied thick black liner and added a cat eye effect to the edges. Popped that nude color under my brow and in the inner corners of my eye. And applied a turquoise eyeliner to the bottom waterline. I finished the rest of the face with bronzer and a barbie pink lip.
