There is nothing worse than meticulously applying eyeshadow, only to find it has wiped away or sunk into eye creases by lunchtime.

Which is why I love Bobbi Brown’s cream shadows so much.  These shadows are built to last.  I used one last weekend at a wedding and was amazed at a) how good the shadow looked; and b) how long it lasted without creasing.

Best of all?  You can use some of the darker colours as a cream blush.  Just dab some of the shadow lightly on the apples of of your cheek and – VOILA – matching eyes and cheeks.
