I usually don't bother trying cream shadows that are not like super-unnatural industrial strength ones, because they just all crease on me. I have hooded lids that somehow manage to be oily even though my skin is dry. So I got the gumball thinking it wouldn't really work for me, but maybe I could wear it with primer or something, worth a try.
Boy was I amazed with this product. I am kind of obsessed with cream shadows, I seriously have a drawer full, I even seek out ones that aren't sold in the US on ebay.
I like to wear cream shadows as something quick, so I don't want to bother putting on a primer, cauz if I am going to have to put a primer on I might as well put a powder shadow on top of it, I have way more of a color selection of those. So I am testing this without any primer on, all I did before applying is wipe my lids with a q tip to make sure they were clean and not oily.
The SN cream shadow has all that I look for. It is easy to apply and blend, doesn't dry too quickly, is buildable without getting cakey, has good color payoff, and most importantly it lasts on me!
I have had it on for 5 hours now, which is only something that very few of my cream shadows can handle, and it is still going strong!
I seriously need more of these, I can already think of about 10 more colors I want
By the way this Curious color is quite nice, since I like cream shadow for a quick 1 step look, I look for light colors that I can wear all over, and this is such a color. It is quite shimmery, but I did build it up to be nice and opaque, I think it looks pretty glamorous.
I would love more light colors, maybe something just a tad lighter, and also more pearl rather than shimmery, just for variety. Maybe a version that is more of a gold, and another that is like a baby pink. Those would be fun
