Crème Eyeshadow Palette by Revlon, Illuminance Eye Makeup with Crease- Resistant Ingredients, Creamy Pigmented in Blendable Matte & Shimmer Finishes, 710 Not Just Nudes, 0.12 Oz

Just tried out this product, I’ve never been good on putting on eyeshadow so I figured I’d try this gel kind. I use my fingertips and blended the shades out how they should be placed. I think the eyeshadow looks pretty great and was pretty easy to apply! Not sure how long this will last throughout the day but with a good primer it should have a good start. The package is a little smaller than I initially thought, but it’s great for practicing!Read more

I have sensitive eyes. I am rarely able to wear make up for long before my eyes start feeling tired and itchy. I have tried multiple brands looking for eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, etc that won’t contribute to my needing to take off my make up a couple hours after application. I went from typical store brands to more niche, specialty/high end brands, including ‘all natural’, and so on to no avail. After continue research, I determined that at least in regards to eye shadow, I should try a cream style, as it is less likely to have particles that will fall off into the eye. I decided to try Revlon, on a whim. Here is my experience so far: –The palette “Not Just Nudes” has four pleasing, natural colors. It leans matte, but isn’t dull or flat. Any shimmer is minimal. Absolutely fine for day time. I have dark hair, dark eyes and a fair complexion. The darkest of the four works best for me applied close to lash line as a soft eye liner. The lightest color is surprisingly fantastic as a stand alone color when you want to just brighten up the eye area. It blended in with my skin tone so well that I thought it was going to be an unused shadow, but the brightening aspect has really turned me on for continued use. The second lightest (or next dark) color is a pretty neutral- adds some depth without looking made-up. The third color (or as I will clarify, the next to last in terms of darkest of the bunch), will further add definition, or if you have a skin tone or need/preference for a darker lid. Any of these could be used alone. For layering and blending, they work similarly to powder shadows. I recommend adding in a short, firm brush for application. I have used just my finger for single color application, and that works well enough but not for precise application. The mirror in this pot is spectacular. It is super clear and runs the entire length of the container. Another recommendation is to use a primer, or if your eyes can handle it, dust it with a powder first. Without this, the cream shadows will crease, especially with oily lids. Though a quick swipe of crease area through day will take care of it, and not totally remove color. Other than that, I did not experience any smudging or run off. My lids do not feel like they are wearing eye shadow. My eyes haven’t been irritated by this collection, which is the one thing that will keep me from wearing make up or not. This color palette is very close to the one labeled, “Skinlights”, which I also purchased and will review. It has more pink than brown, but still light and neutral. Picture included. Pallette on left is “Skin lights”, Pallette on right is “Not Just Nudes”Read more

I know this product got a lot of good reviews; I don’t know what happened with me. I am 56 years old with dry skin and wanted a cream eye shadow that would stay in place and look nice. The color was fine but after a very short period of time the color disappeared from my main lid area and had concentrated in tiny, fine lines and creases. Not the attractive look I was hoping for. I tried using a budge proof eyelid primer underneath it but to no avail. I threw the product away. This product got lots of good reviews so others may have better success.Read more

I am older, don’t do a lot of metallics, lots of glitter, but like some shimmer and it works for me. My experience with this shadow: COLORS: I thought the colors would work well, but really didn’t. I thought the darkest color would work well as a light liner, but not so much. But part of that, is…. TEXTURE: I SO did not like the texture. Kind of cream, but lightly putting brush in would smoosh in a lot, didn’t go on as smoothly as I thought it should have. Yes, I have older lids, but not flattering at all and kind of pilled. NO APPLICATOR: OK, fine, I have applicators, but to have four colors and no applicator seemed odd. I guess the mirror would be helpful if you had to do your makeup in the car, but as there is no applicator with it or really room for one, I hope you carry applicators with you. BOTTOMLINE: For me personally, a big no mostly for texture, how it went on, lack of pigment in some colors. I know it can be arbitrary depending on what someone is looking for, but the fact it went on just strangely, kind of pilled, wasn’t that smooth. Nothing for me to recommend it. DID think the colors looked nice…in the case.Read more

I received this product within the delivery time and in perfect condition. The product is not as pigmented as the picture shows. The colors are a lot more pale and pastel with shimmer. It is a good product and good quality, it applies well and has a tint of color and is good if you want to apply make up in no time at all and still look glam. I rated this average as I was looking for a cream eye shadow to use as a base that has no shimmer. It’s not ideal to use for an eye shadow base for matte eye shadows, however you can use it for a base with shimmery shadows. It is a good product, just not what I was looking for.Read more

I found it cloggy on my eyelid, disappointing really. Probably okay for brow but not where eyelid creasesRead more
