REVIEW: ELF DUO EYE SHADOW CREAM

ELF says: Express yourse.l.f. with the easy to blend, crease resistant, creamy duo eye shadow colors. Each gorgeous shade can be worn alone or together for a dramatic effect. The soft-blending formula can also be layered under powder eye shadow to set the color in and keep it lasting vibrant all day.

My take on this product:
It is easy to blend and the colors are really attractive however, I would say that it is still best to use this only as a base. As for me, I’m using cream eye shadows as a base because I really have oily lids, if I just use at alone, it’ll definitely gonna CREASE (even I apply it prior to primer).

Coffee and Cream – The white color has gold glitters in it that makes it more look like an off white but the color is just so pretty! Coffee (the brown color), I just love it! I always use that color.

 
Black Licorice – the silver color really gives me a metallic sort of base, it’s cute and really brings out the color of my silver eye shadow when I use this as a base. The black color, is so pigmented however, I often use this because black tends to be more of a dramatic effect (except if I’m going to a party that I want my eyes be that dramatic).

 
Butter pecan – this is my favorite duo cream! As you can see on the picture the color is just neutral and I can wear it anytime of the day since most of the time I’m sporting a neutral look.

Olive – my second favorite! I love olive green that’s why I bought this. I using this as a base to my ELF quad in IVY.
