Best cream shadow on the market
-05.15.13
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant
I absolutely love Bobbie Brown cream shadows. They last longer on me than powder shadows, don't crease and don't give me the "creepiness" that you can get from powder shadows (on "mature" eyes). None of the colors I've tried are glittery or harsh. You can vary the amount of shadow and the blending to get different looks--more dramatic or more natural. My current favorite color is heather, described as a warm mauve. On me, this color doesn't look as purple as the color sample appears, more like a purplish gray, but it looks very natural.

LOVE THIS STUFF
-05.09.13
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant
I think this stuff is amazing! I am reviewing the Shore color. I strongly dislike eyeshadow bases because they all make my eyes look dry and crepey no matter how little I use - which then becomes pointless of it's original job. I place this all over my lid and it covers redness, sallowness, etc. I can wear it alone or layer other colors - cream or powder over. I also have the stone color which I smudge just above the crease (this looks super natural and gives a smidge of depth).

I love all of the Bobbi cream shadows. They go on smoothly, are easily blended, and stay on for hours. Another BB shadow I would highly recommend is the Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick. Whether cream pot or stick, some shades are strictly Matte while others have a bit of shimmer.

Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant
If you have picked Bobbi Brown cream shadow, it's amazing and wonderful and you will be completely happy with your purchase. Some shadows have shimmer, but others do not, so make sure you find what you want. I use an eyeshadow base on the lids up to my brow bone before applying shadow.

Stone & Ballet Pink LW Cream Shadows
-04.27.13
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant
I love this formulation - it is incredibly long-wearing and the colours are gorgeous and natural. Stone is a very natural-looking shade (not as dark as it appears online) and provides the perfect base for layering powder eyeshadows. I also love the Ballet Pink shade, which has a very subtle shimmer. I would definitely recommend this to those wanting a long-wearing shadow (apply it in the morning, and it will still be perfect at night!).

Bobbi Brown LW Cream EyeShadow
-04.15.13
Quick Take: blends easily, highly pigmented, crease resistant
Most eye shadows make my eye lids irritated. My skin is also oily so cream eye shadows crease for me but BB cream eye shadow is fantastic it is definitely saved me. I plan on buying more.

Pretty, but Drying
-04.06.13
This is the exact product I was looking for to achieve a subtle, quick eye. On my fair skin, it is a very very sheer mushroomy color. Perfect for a no makeup look. It doesn't crease and lasts all day. Probably would be a good base for more stuff on top. The only thing is, it's reallllly drying after a few hours. I used it for 2 weeks in March (30s-40s in NYC) and had to stop bc my eyes just hurt halfway through the day. I'll give it another go in the summer, and continue to use it because it looks so nice, but I can't make it my everyday product like I hoped.

So-So
-04.01.13
I really want to love this shadow, and yet I find it just so-so. I have the lighter color as well, and while they both go on smoothly, I just don't think that they last as long as they say they will. I did buy the brush that goes with the shadow, and I did find that helped me to apply the shadow evenly, and I thought maybe that would help make the shadow last, but beyond making the application easier, it didn't have an impact on the lasting power of the shadow.
It is possible that the colors I've purchased just aren't dark enough for my taste and that if I purchased the darker color I would be happier with the results. (I have the heather color and the light gold color.) If you're looking for a light wash of color, this may be for you, especially if you don't need it to last for a long day.

Best cream eyeshadow!
-04.01.13
Quick Take: creaseproof & long wearing
I have been wearing Bobbi Brown cream eyeshadows for about a year now and won't wear anything else. The perfect colors for me are bone and stone worn together. I wear these everyday and they never crease or wear off. Nice subtle matte colors that are buildable if you want slightly darker. I get lots of compliments on my eyes with these shadows. Will be trying more Bobbi Brown in the future.

Creases
-03.26.13
Quick Take: blends easily, creamy
I tried this product on in store. I did my face makeup but left everything off my eyes, and cleansed my lids prior to trying this product in the colour Stone. My lids tend to be oily, so finding a cream shadow that doesn't crease can be a challenge.
I love how it applied, but after several hours it creased on my lids. I won't be purchasing this.

I love Bobbi Brown, when i saw this cream shadow, buy it immediately!!... The color is beautiful, but it's very dry and difficult to extend inclusive applying cream base.
I am disillusioned of this product... ;(

Great Product
-03.10.13
Quick Take: long-wearing, creamy
This is a wonderful shadow--and it can easily be made more dramatic by layering with other eye shadows. I only gave this (galaxy) shade 4 stars not because the product is bad but because it is not quite flattering for my skin tone. It's too light to be illuminating and too dark to be subtle.

Bone is Amazing!!
-03.05.13
Quick Take: creamy, creasless, primer
I love the shade bone. It's perfect for my fair skin on it's own to even my lids out or as a base. No shimmer at all in this shade and it has a cream finish. It doesn't crease on me and stays put for hours.

Invisible color.
-03.03.13
Everything Bobbi Brown makes is so natural, but this Heather shade can't even be seen. It DOES make me look better, I think, but still--I can't tell why because the color isn't obvious. Very creamy. Also, very expensive.

Depends on the color
-02.27.13
Quick Take: blends easily, crease resistant
I have porcelain skin and dark brown eyes. I need something to accentuate around my eyes to keep me from looking beady-eyed. I'm also allergic to red dye so any purples, pinks, etc. are completely out of the question. I purchased bone and stone. Bone is great. Good coverage, doesn't crease, excellent "wash color". Stone is almost nonexistent. I can put on 3 - 4 coats and still barely looks like I've contoured my eyes at all. Benefit Cosmetics has a great deep brown, but it has some shimmer and that's not my thing. Not sure what I'm going to try next, but it won't be Bobbi Brown Stone. I will definitely buy Bone again, though.
