MARY KAY VIOLET STORM FREE

Mary Kay also sell individual Mineral Eye Color s (eyeshadows) in a variety of colours. A brown, grey, white, pink and orange would be fantastic additions to the line. I'd love to see more colours in the range. I've really been impressed with these over the last 2 days. While they aren't expensive, they're pricier than the Maybelline Colour Tattoos or the Face Of Australia Budge Proof Cream Eyeshadow.

These are fragrance free and are perfect for anyone with sensitive skin. Because it's made for cream shadows, you can also use it as a lip brush as well as a concealer brush. It's easy to use and isn't too large, so it's great for those (like me) that have smaller eyelids. I love the effect as it makes the eyeshadow look more multidimensional. With the cream shadow underneath, it made the Trish McEvoy powdered shadow go from a satin finish to a gorgeous metallic sheen. The cream eyeshadow sets really quickly (within 2 minutes) and I used a Real Techniques eyeshadow brush to apply my Trish McEvoy light brown eyeshadow, from the Beauty Emergency Card palette.

On Sunday, I used the Glacier Grey again as a base colour, followed by a powder eyeshadow. I normally do get creasing (with cream products) but didn't use an eye primer so I could see how effective it was on oily eyelids. I just went over my crease with the brush and it disappeared. In the afternoon, I did notice a small amount of creasing. I applied both colours with the Mary Kay Cream Eye Color/Concealer Brush* and wiped the brush on a tissue after using the first colour to make sure I didn't dip one colour into the other. To stop the colours getting muddled, I let the base colour dry then used the crease colour. On Saturday, I used Glacier Grey as an all over lid colour, followed by Violet Storm along my crease.

I've been trialling the cream eyeshadows over the last 2 days and wanted to do a first impressions review.

I used eyeshadows from Maybelline, ELES, Essence and Mac Factor. I used different finishes and different brands to see how effective the cream eyeshadow would be with different pigments and quality.
