Forever 21 Cream Eyeshadow Shitake Review

I made a larger order from Forever 21 for my birthday and I decided to try out some of their makeup. They have sold makeup a Forever 21 for a while now but, they recently re-did their packing and re-vamped some products. The only other product I have bought from them is a champagne shadow which I was obsessed with for about a year and only used it exclusively. I decided to purchase a cream eyeshadow that comes a pot like the Maybelline Color Tattoos.

On the Website the photo of the shadow looked like a purple/brown/silver taupe. I know that is a lot of different colors but, it seemed to have a duo-chrome effect. However when it arrived it turned out to not look like the picture at all. The shadow is more of a grey toned brown with multi-colored shimmer. In some lights it almost looks like a burgundy frost.

I was really hoping that this would have a simular formula to my Bad To The Bronze Color Tattoo but, it is a little different. The texture is very smooth and creamy but has a thinness to it. The color goes on with decent pigmentation but sheers out into nothingness when you blend it out on your lids. The shadow does set but without a primer on my lids this creased and virtually melted right off at the end of the day. I would suggest using this with a primer and putting powder shadow on top of it. 

Though the color doesn't look like the picture on the website, it still is really pretty on the eyes. I wear it all the time but it does take some work to make it look the way I want it took. I think the best way to apply it is with a synthetic brush instead of your finger.

If you are interested in picking this up you can get it in Forever 21 stores and on their website for few bucks!
