    I was excited to use my new revlon illuminance creme eyeshadow. When I first applied it to my eye lids and blended it with my make up brush it was very smooth and looked great. After about 2 hours it began to wipe off and slip into the creases of my eye lids. On the back of the eyeshadow it advertises it's "crease-resistant" and "stays on all day". I was not impressed and I felt like $10 went down the drain. I still use it once and a while because it does blend smoothly but I use powder over it so it's less likely to create creases. It's not something I would recommend but I do enjoy other revlon products.

    It's alright. Good for a glittery eye look now for the holidays.

    I didn't find this creme shadow to work well with my skin. I found it creased a lot. The colors were great but because of all the creasing and smudging I would not repurchase.

    This first caught my attention because of the metallic appearance of the colours (I have 'Wild Orchids'). I was looking for something with a bit more colour payoff than the Revlon 12h quads. I guess I missed the fact that it was *creme* eyeshadow, because I found it difficult to apply.

    Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I've been using my fingers to apply it, and I find misplacements rather difficult to correct. Also, I found I was using more to cover than I expected. Still, if I apply it correctly, I get a lot of compliments on it. Not sure if I would buy again.

    these aren't my favorite cream eyeshadows but i do like that they come in a palette. the maybelline color tattoo shadows are better quality and worth the price over these. the revlon ones do come in a larger variety of color than most other drugstore cream shadows though.

    I received a compact of this as a gift and I ended up throwing it away. I initially assumed this being creme eyeshadow would mean that it would go on very bold and last longer than a powder-based color. Yeah, I was wrong. The colors were incredibly light, the makeup never actually dries, and most of it got stuck in a crease on my eyelids.

    From then on, I decided to stick with powder eyeshadow, but if you're on the lookout for a good creme eyeshadow, I would say don't get this one. It's not godawful, but it's not wonderful either.

    I'm not so impressed with these. I know cream eyeshadow has a tendency to crease, but I just felt that these were way too oily in texture so they creased really fast. Alsoo the colors are not as pigmented as I would have liked- I've had my Black Magic palette for about a month and two of the colors are almost gone- they just don't know up like I hoped they would, you really have to layer it on and then you get baddd creasing. There's better cream eye shadows out there, even at the drugstore price..

    I tried these eye shadows a lot when the palettes would be on sale, thinking wow I'd get 4 eye shadows for the price of one! And while I don't think it is a terrible product at all, It just wasn't for me. I have very oily skin and even with a primer or base the cream shadow would chunk up in the crease of my eyelid really badly. I looked awful with it. However, when I gave them to a friend with very dry skin they found it to be quite perfect. They didn't have the same problem as me at all, it glided on nice and silky. And the white, lighter colours work really well as a highlighter lightly on the brow bone or inner tear duct. Or If you're a young girl just starting off with make-up for the first time, applying lightly with subtle colours would be perfect.

    I know other's have had issues with this eyeshadow, but I have used it differently. I use this as an eyeshadow base & I bought the "Black Magic" shades which include white, black, pink and silver. The colors are not great and I would never use these alone as eyeshadows but since I don't want them to be a total waste I use them as bases and I've been satisfied with that.

    I agree with Artsy... This is a beautiful colour palette that makes my blue eyes stand out like crazy. The creamy texture is easy to blend, and you can create so many different effects. But the eye shadow just doesn't last. Within a couple hours, the colour and shimmer have faded, so you have to re-apply throughout the day to keep the effect going. Which, for me, is a pain in the arse. But it's a cheap and pretty product, and if you don't mind re-applying, it's worth it.
