I've put cream eyeshadow to the test at every price point, and I've got some brilliant budget options for you. But first, let's talk about why cream shadows are the unsung heroes of the makeup world. They're super easy to blend, long-lasting, and don't cause any messy fallout. Plus, they're perfect for those with oily skin or sensitive eyes. Now, let's dive into my top picks.
Budget Bliss: No7 Pro Artist Cream Eyeshadow
At just £11.95 for 3.4g, this No7 range is a steal. I was impressed by its quality, which rivals some of the pricier brands. While you might need to apply a few layers for intense color, the sparkles are instantly visible, making it ideal for party season. However, it's not too intense for everyday wear. A primer is recommended for oily skin types to maximize wear time. Despite its affordable price, this cream eyeshadow is a must-have for anyone on a budget.
Mid-Range Marvel: Lisa Eldridge Liquid Lurex Eyeshadow
I usually prefer cream eyeshadows in pots, but Lisa Eldridge's liquid formula is an exception. It's easy to blend and dries down faster, which is a game-changer for those with oily lids or fine lines. The glittery shades don't feel heavy, and the range offers a wide range of shades that complement various skin tones. At £21 for 2.8ml, it's a mid-range option that delivers luxury results.
Luxury Indulgence: Kulfi Zari Eyeshadow
If you're willing to splurge, Kulfi Zari's cream eyeshadow is a top-tier choice. With a price tag of £30 for 5g, it's highly pigmented, meaning a tiny amount goes a long way. The shimmery formula is mess-free and blends effortlessly. It applies like silk but dries down to a powder-like finish, preventing smudging. This luxury option is a long-lasting investment for your makeup collection.
Beyond the Eyes: Serious Body Care This Winter
As the winter sets in, I'm committed to taking body care seriously, and the launch of Saltair in the UK is making it easier than ever. Created by Iskra Lawrence, this range offers a mini spa experience at home, featuring luxe body oils, butters, scrubs, and even an AHA deodorant. It's the perfect way to indulge in self-care during the colder months. Check out spacenk.com for more details.
