I have a collection of different eyeshadows, mainly creams, I have brown eyes and brown eyes and love finding shades that suit.
Have just bought Chanel cream shadow in emervielle. It's more expensive that I would usually go for, but hey....!
Emervielle is a lovely, natural, champagny beige pink. Lovely in daytime with some brown eyeliner. Am in love!
Anyone else have a favourite eyeshadow they want to rave about?!!

Oooh. I have sensitive eyes and most powder shadows irritate them, so I will check this out!!

I have the Neutral Palette from Illamasqua which I love. It has an off-white, vintage gold, black and dark brown and is great for a lovely understated daytime look or a full-on smoky eye. Love it.

Also love my Naked 2 by Urban Decay. I very rarely use just one shadow anymore.

Wow that neutral palate sounds just gorgeous... really lovely. May have to take a peek!

I have Mac Bare Study paint pot, sounds very similar in colour. <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.nl/imgres?q=mac+bare+study&um=1&hl=nl&client=firefox-a&sa=N&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1280&bih=591&tbm=isch&tbnid=8G-GPDWNh4rFVM:&imgrefurl=makeuplover.ecrater.com/p/6204136/mac-bare-study-paint-pot&docid=PwaJj64E4OT5aM&imgurl=s.ecrater.com/stores/66674/4b15b8cb07659_66674n.jpg&w=300&h=305&ei=JgXhT5HsDojB8QP59ZCUDw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=115&vpy=268&dur=3720&hovh=226&hovw=223&tx=108&ty=145&sig=117994937117526150460&page=3&tbnh=136&tbnw=133&start=45&ndsp=26&ved=1t:429,r:19,s:45,i:276" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here. Love it.

I have brown eyes and hair too - a deep plumy purple eyeliner is my favourite with it I think.

I used a lovely one today. It wasnt until I was going to the till I realised it was a lip crayon thingy.

I feel like I need to venture into the world of cream eye shadow. Are there any cheap brands that are any good, I'm thinking under a fiver?

CountBapula · 20/06/2012 08:02

netbook I think Maybelline do one - keep meaning to try it.

I love cream shadow. I use the Laura Mercier one in Gold (a neutral bronze). I also have the Chanel one in Illusoire which is a gorgeous lilacy-taupey-greige with sparkles. Fab.

selee · 20/06/2012 09:14

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I too have Laura Mercier in gold - it is such a beautiful bronze brown and it love it's shimmer too. I use Bobbi Brown Expresso Ink eye liner with it.

I know that Barbara Daly for Tesco does cream eyeshadow shimmer stubby pens. About £5 I think. They do a pale one,a pinky champagne one and a bronze one - I havnt tried them yet but hope to.

And Bare Study is most def on my list to get!!

Velvet Plum by Bobbi Brown is a beautiful browny-plum colour with slight shimmer,sounds similar to Illusoire? Is it do you think? I adore the Chanel Emervielle one so I imagine Illusoire would be right up my street.

Tried out a new shadow from MAC today - it's one of their pro-longwear ones in Sweet Satisfaction. It's a lovely shade - kind of similar to MAC Patina if anyone's tried it.

I'm not a mummy but I am an absolute beauty addict - I have a wee beauty blog :) is it okay if I post in here?

netbook · 21/06/2012 07:15
