Benefit 'My Date's My Brother' Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow

Wouldn ' t normally go for Benefit unless on special offer but on Beauty Counter Direct it was so reasonable - (www.beautycounterdirect.co.uk/benefit-creaseless-cream-eye-linershadow-my-dates-my-brother-p-3116.html). So what do I think of their creaseless cream eye shadow? - well to start with I would never pay over £10 for an eye shadow so look around for a good deal. As with most Benefit products, the name was certainly weird and the packaging eye catching.

The shadow went on really smoothly and didn ' t cake at all. I applied it with an eye shadow brush as I find it makes it stay on longer but also goes on well with your finger. I wish it was a bit thicker but you can layer the look to make it more dramatic. It was a nice subtle colour when applied as one coat so can be used with other colours. This had a slight shimmery effect that I think works best for evening wear. With some eye shadows you need to apply a primer first to make them last but this one lasted all day and only really started to crease when I got home which was about 7-8hrs after I applied it. Definitely lasted longer than some cream shadows I have used. Comes off easily with a make up remover wipes. Nice little pot so doesn ' t take up too much room.

So, would I recommend this product? Yes I would if you can get it cheap enough, but I think this particular colour is more suited to olive or tanned skin and is maybe for the younger generation, but did a good job of making my more 'mature' eyelids look good! Also didn ' t irritate my eyes at all as some products seem to do.
