I've always loved cream eye shadows and used to use the ones from Clinique. The problem I've had with others is that the colors have never worked on me and were always too dark or too bright. I really like this mousse shadow and both the "ivory illusion" (great base color or highlighter) and the "tranquil rose" (nice brownish rose), and both work well with my fair complexion. It is a bit harder to control where the color ends up (vs. using a traditional eye shadow brush/applicator) but I find they blend very easily. I'm definitely going to check out the other colors!

as an actual eyeshadow, i have found the colour really doesnt stay at all. It works well for blending but i dont know if for much else... there are for sure better products out there

I wasn't sure if this was going to be a good product or not, so I bought it when I had the cash to spare. I purchased the Vanilla Veil to be on the safe side (white is always a good eye shadow to buy). You can use your fingers to smooth it on, but I prefer to use a brush to make things a little less messy.

Tip: Do you have a couple of eye shadows that you like to blend, but can sometimes get a little messy (i.e. too much powder everywhere, or things don't blend as nicely as you'd like?) then you will really like this idea: I use the dream mousse shadow as a base, then I pick two, sometimes three different eye shadows (mostly M.A.C shadows) and blend them right on top. It makes my life so much easier! The powders stay in place and blend like a drem. Hense the name dream mousse I suppose! It's worth a try.
