Once upon a time, I dreamt of becoming a world-famous celebrity makeup artist, made possible by the hours of complicated YouTube tutorials I’d watch. I’ve come to terms with the fact that that probably isn’t in the cards—but that hasn’t stopped me from loving a daily routine and always experimenting with new looks. In my adult years, I’ve pivoted toward easy-to-use products and simple hacks that deliver effortless, looks-professionally-done glam—like the Bobbi Brown gift set of mascara and five cream eyeshadows I recently discovered.
Admittedly, I was skeptical at first, given that my past experiences with cream eyeshadows have been underwhelming. Many of the ones I’ve tried need multiple layers to build up pigmentation, are tough to blend, or crease by midday. As it turns out, I’m not alone in my initial hesitation—professional makeup artist Molly Geiger says that many people share my concerns about cream shadows. But with the right formula, she says they’re actually easier to use (and often more effective) than powders.
As compared to powders, cream eyeshadows offer better adhesion and longevity without the annoyance of fall-out, Geiger says. “Bobbi Brown’s cream shadow formula is beautiful—crease-resistant and ultra-pigmented, it’s quick to apply and lasts all day.” With this in mind, I unboxed my new Bobbi Brown Eyes All Aglow Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick Set with a hint of my past makeup-artist aspirations—and I can officially say I’m sold. Here’s my review, and why I want everyone I know and love to snag their own set.
