BEST & Worst Affordable CREAM Eyeshadow!

[@laurenmichelle8399]

Store your potted cream shadows upside down, helps them stay moist longer

[@AmandaZ]

This is a good tip!!! Thank you 😊

[@chrissymoss514]

Brilliant idea!

[@thedylangirl]

THIS 👏🏻

[@OurshihtzuHenry6496]

What is this mean? Like the cover of the pot is on the floor? And what makes this help? If its upside down?

[@tammyeaton4791]

I already do that for the ones that have glass bottom jars.

[@Seb61709]

When I tell you I freaking love you and your content- it doesn’t even do justice to how I feel! You’re simply the best 💗🥰

[@AmandaZ]

🥺❤️thank you Sarah

[@surewhynot4647]

I agree a hundred percent ❤️❤️

[@Tarot.Destiny]

Well Said.

[@emilylerman9028]

I bought the ulta cream shadow in “Game Over” because of your recommendation and I use it every. single. day. no joke. my go-to is putting a little of that in my crease and applying the smoke reflect in temper on my lids, both the cream and the topper.

[@moonmatcha11726]

i’ve been wanting to start using cream eyeshadows as an easy way to feel more done up since i’m not really putting on a full face of makeup anymore and was so excited to see this video was in the works. thank you so much for the effort you’ve put into this video!!!!

[@AmandaZ]

It's so fun to play with cream shadows!! I hope you find some you love, thank you for your support anna!

[@magpiesneedle2575]

I was just about to say the same.

[@alisonjames496]

This is one of the best beauty videos I've seen. The effort that has gone in shows, so helpful! Love the application shots. I love the essence melted chrome - ironic and the copper shade are my favourite x

[@HollyG6]

I bought almost all the shades of melted chrome. So beautiful and affordable. They still have them in most stores.

[@kat99o21o]

+++++

[@heatherbocks]

I love the whole vibe of your videos. They are almost soothing to me

[@azureandersen9465]

Omg i finally got Amanda’s fav’s the Ulta cream matte shadows and the Italian ice bouncy cream shadows and a rose gold foil and OMG the matte cream shadows are incredible with Italian ice on top! They lasted me all day to the night and my eyes looked perfect! No creasing! Amanda you’re never wrong. All your suggestions work on me! Love love love!

[@saranpratt]

I keep coming back to this video for reference. All the work you put in shows. Thanks for making such an authoritative guide to affordable cream shadows!

[@rebeccac.1758]

On those cream shadows like Urbanite, all you need is one drop of Inglot's Duraline in there, and you have made it thinner and creamier in seconds! It's how I saved many cream shadows that I didn't like at all. Also makes anything waterproof! :)

[@norabolles713]

Inglot Duraline is always in my kit 👍❤

[@ninathomson1735]

Do you mix directly into the pot? Wondering if that has any effect on the contents of the pot long term.

[@brookspa94]

Wow, THANK YOU for sharing this knowledge/tip! Such valuable info & a “game changer” product! You’re awesome! 😘

[@sarahmclin2434]

Great tip!

[@hannahsonnenburg7718]

I wish we had ulta in Europe! There seem to be so many hidden beauty gems.

[@salimas7979]

And in Canada.

[@magpiesneedle2575]

Heard a rumour, just a rumour, there is some ‘talk’. Ultra maybe coming to Boots some time in the future. I can’t remember who but it was a beauty ‘influencer’ from the UK. But please don’t take this a true. As I said, rumour, even when I heard it it was said, but I remember maybe a little 😉

[@Kay-vf8wu]

Kiko - Taupe shadow stick is one of my all times faves. The kiko store in my town just shut down which is gutting! Definitely going to check out the Revlon Caramel shade. Such a good and in depth video! ETA - Kiko have some lovely potted cream shadows. Creamy colour lasting shadow in Champagne is a personal favourite.

[@stacyketner]

Kiko online store is wonderful, there are no stores anywhere near me, so I order from their website, normally makes it to Southern Indiana in a week

[@Kay-vf8wu]

@@stacyketner it is! I'm in the UK and I still have a fair few stores nearby, but one in my local town was great just for perusing

[@stacyketner]

@@Kay-vf8wu that's wonderful, kiko is one of my favorite brands, so wish I had a store near me, but I would probably be in trouble 😀 $$$ the eyeshadow sticks are my love and the gloss!!! I hope to invest in some of the cream pots later this year.

[@HollyG6]

Not only is this fun to watch because creamy, glitter, shine!, But was so well researched and clear. Thank you.

[@carak4356]

You introduced me to that Almay shadow and I actually prefer it to the Charlotte T for its longevity on my deep set eyes. I love the color too! Lasts all day. Thank you so much for all your work :)

[@geniej2378]

Thank you for all the eye swatches, those must've taken forever!! It's super helpful to see them in action!

[@carolinar3193]

You are the authority when it comes to cream eye shadows thank you 😍

[@MarthaHW]

My eye doc wants me to switch to cream eyeshadow, so I think you just saved me a lot of money!

[@arelysjournal]

wooo we’ve been waiting for this one-keep up the amazing work!!

[@samanthaizundu]

This was FANTASTIC! I appreciate all the time and research gone into this, you did wonderfully 🥰

[@rosasinger8565]

I think you would really love the jumbo eye pencils in iced mocha, French fries and yogurt. They are some of my favourites!

[@drugstorecowgirl6982]

I just want to say how grateful that I am to have found your channel! As someone who is trying to re enter the workforce, and just get back into wearing makeup in general, your channel has so much awesome content. I'm not going to lie, I had kind of been avoiding beauty related KZbin videos for a while because they just weren't relatable to me, and neither were their creators. To come back and find someone like you, so down to earth, is truly a breath of fresh air. 💜

[@Tarot.Destiny]

Just saw this video! Thank you so much for testing all of these shadows. I literally took notes on my iPhone! So many beautiful shadows were featured. It was nice that there were more formulas you liked than disliked. The inserts of you applying a lot of these is appreciated. I also took notes of the liquid shadow bases and which shadows needed them. 💚💜💚🍺🍺

[@barnes-md7mf]

The NYX potted shadow in Baroque looks absolutely stunning on you.

[@AmandaZ]

thank you so much!

[@brittbillok]

I just bought Baroque because of this video and LOVE it

[@HollyG6]

I wouldn't have chosen that because it looks so orange online but on your eyes it looks so beautifully rosy bronze that I'm going to try it.

[@eleanorbesly9868]

An amazing, comprehensive look at so many options! Thanks so much for all the work you put into this! So helpful.

[@TamarasTimelessBeauty]

Yay!! I’ve been looking forward to this one!! ❤️

[@happyhappy101]

The Revlon creme pots are my absolute favorites! Caramel, the green, and the purple are all really beautiful one and done shades.

[@AmandaZ]

ooh maybe I'll try the purple next!

[@BethaneyLilly]

You went all in! What an amazing video! I just love how well you know and describe formulas! Really appreciate knowing what’s making the shine/shift/metallic/glossiness….I don’t always want glitter :) Your shots are so helpful!

[@shesothorny9892]

Used the revlon shadows in high school and am about to go back. Love how they are so simple to use - definitely “one and done”

[@tha57]

Love love love this video! will continuously keep coming back to this video for reference! Thank You!

[@AmandaZ]

You are so welcome :) thank you for watching!

[@ReadbyLiv]

Ahhh I get so excited when you upload! You have the most informational videos that are still entertaining! Thank you for your hard work!

[@JLeigh75309]

I'll just note that I can't believe how comprehensive this is and how much you crammed into this video - in terms of number of shadows, of course, but the detail, swatches, wear, application. I'll be referring back to this one! Thank you!

[@hannahlapham4638]

LOVING the redish look you did with the nyx one

[@robertamandab7932]

Wow! You really covered that category thoroughly! Love your style, the way you do your makeup and all and the way you explain and go over things.

[@kreeativeme]

I just love it when I find the exact topic that I’ve searched for. Thank you for being so thorough!

[@cflex7914]

Couldn’t wait for this video! I loved it. Lots of hard work went into testing, swatching and trying them all on. Thanks so much!! I love your content and makeup aesthetic.

[@AmandaZ]

Thank you so much :) I hope it was helpful!!

[@aprilh3072]

I have picked up the Ulta cream/ liquid shadows and they are definitely a win! I also was finally able to find Charlotte Tilbury , Oyster Pearl ❤ *Not affordable

[@khadams210]

I love Oyster Pearl. It's my absolute favorites!

[@SaminSays]

this was so helpful! you covered damn near every affordable option

[@brittbillok]

Thank you for making me pull out Color Tattoo-high roller and fall back in love with it!!!

[@kobietama]

So interesing and comprehensive review! Thank you! It helped a lot! And BTW I love you make up in this film!

[@carols.4252]

I love the elf shadow stick. They have this perfect gunmetal blue-gray shade that I love. It’s the perfect blue and I’m not a blue eyeshadow person. They can do a great smudgy line. I actually like the Cover Girl one, but I have a bronze shade.

[@christinecoursey2455]

Thanks for this great detailed video! I’m 60 but watch all your videos and am never disappointed. In the Revlon colorstay bold range I think you might really enjoy 805 Stardust

[@SweetCheerleader42]

You did suuuch a great job describing formulas! I know it can get monotonous and hard to find different adjectives, you did it effortlessly

[@annanewsom4253]

Wow!! Just loved this video!! Heading to Ultra in just a few minutes!! Just have to try out some of these products you have shown!! Been looking for fast and easy eyeshadow looks for mornings I sleep in and are in a hurry!!

[@arelysjournal]

i didn't know where else to put this, but you should compare sheer lipsticks/balms like charlotte tilbury happikiss, elf hydrating core, em cosmetics lip cushion, the chanel one you love, etc! (ultralip might be in the mix, but i know you're not supporting or promoting glossier)

[@aliyarae]

Yes! And the Fresh Sugar!

[@meiyeeszeto2158]

Have you tried the Rimmel Wonder'Clouds? I'm not much of a cream shadow wearer (extremely oily lids), but I have Foggy Beige and Truffle Haze and they're pretty long-lasting! They're whipped in texture, and they layer really well for more pigment intensity. They've made good shadow bases when I want to layer a topper like the Colourpop Ultra Glitter SSS on top ❤

[@ShanrellsStash]

I love those!!

[@Kim-cu7bc]

These are nice, they need to add more shades.

[@darlene7157]

Thank you! I was going to ask about recommendations for oily lids

[@dabanana1393]

What a thorough video. Thank you. I love Auric smoke reflect shadows!

[@khadams210]

Great video, Amanda! Really comprehensive!

[@liv5420]

I was so happy to see that you like the Ulta beauty line of cream shadows because I think people have been sleeping on them! Vintage Beauty in the matte cream formula and Maple Pecan in the bouncy cream formula are my every day staples! Great video!

[@chickenhoffman]

Informative, thoughtful video - thanks for all your insights, Amanda!

[@amazingyou9703]

Very helpful and valuable video for me as I am thinking of buying my first cream eyeshadow. Thank you.

[@luellaruhter8807]

I loved your video, thanks for all the information, I’ve gotten a few of the ulta cream shadows and also a few of the bouncy cream shadows that are the ulta brand. I love cream shadows, I love the same thing u love in the cream shadows. So your video really spoke to me.

[@hannahlapham4638]

Would love to see some spreadsheets from you!!! lol I am so excited to watch this, cream eyeshadow has become my favorite makeup product!

[@LovelyGirl_XO]

You’ve convinced me!! Now I’m gonna have to pick up some ulta cream eyeshadows!!

Wow I'm definitely subscribed after watching this video. So informative and exactly what I was looking for!!

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

Phew! This was a workout! (I took written notes...). I love your looks, so I payed attention here. I see you do like to play with light and that is what I see on your eyes, so I value your advice! This was a great introduction and basics for me. Excited!

[@clarcycalhoun960]

THANK YOU! This video is a dream come true

[@swedeyu]

I have been on the lookout since last year for a great affordable cream eyeshadow too. I’m so glad you did this video! Thank you.

[@frumtheground]

My favorite cream stick shadows (at least as far as mattes go) are the ones from Julep and Beauty Pie. Laura Mercier is hard to beat for a lot of people, but I actually prefer Julep and Beauty Pie for their color range cause it just feels more unique. I still have yet to try the super shock shadows and the Nyx color sticks tho and everytime I see you use them I want them!

[@rhondareedy2510]

Amanda, I love your videos. I like to take notes in a spiral notebook and then highlight what I want to buy from the group. After that I put it in a Make Up binder for permanent reference. That is much easier than writing 5-10 4X4 sticky notes on each video. The sticky note pile was driving me crazy!!! But your information is so worth keeping to refer back to. QUESTION: WHAT ARE CREAMY LINER PRODUCTS??? I was intrigued by the quick Maybelline Color Strike Cream To Shadow Eye Pens because I have struggled mightily with eyeliners with a ton of frustration from eyeliner smearing underneath my eyes. Got to try Hustle & Flare soon! IDEA: MAYBE YOU COULD DO A VIDEO ON EYELINER PRODUCTS THAT STAY IN PLACE AND DON'T SMEAR ALL UNDER YOUR EYES!!! Rhonda

[@kristinej.9599]

This was amazing...and soooo much work. Thank you!

[@kwclove7623]

You really did your homework. Thank you SO much!! Packed full of information ❤

[@melissabridge5687]

First off, Thanks for all your hard work with this video. Helps us all a lot. I love Urbanite. My color payoff is way more than your swatch. It is good for slightly wrinkled eyes.( I'm 54) Stays all day. I use Highroller and Urbanite together all the time.

[@julies8225]

What an excellent informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge . So helpful ❤️

[@glaciergang]

I love the super shock formula! i have one and cant wait to get some more

[@AmandaZ]

[@TheSim1derful]

I have been excited for this video since last YEAR and it lived up to the hype. As usual, the most effort and high quality video of this kind I've ever seen! I find the shopmissA AOA Studios velour cream shadows to also be great. They surprised me so much for how cheap they were

[@HollyG6]

Oh I wanted to like those but they don't stay on, but just last night I put a shimmer ColourPop shade overtop and it lasted better

[@ginashaw5877]

What a fabulous video so glad i found your channel !! You do a great job , very comprehensive and I love cream products !!

[@bingm8109]

As a new subscriber I love the detail that you share, and in a precise and quick manner. Thank you.

[@tapioca3800]

Absolutely loved this video and appreciated all the effort that went into it! It’s so helpful when you show swatches of everything, show them up close on the lids, and on top of that, give us a long term opinion of the product (not just a first impression). Really want to pick up one of those Ulta Bouncy Eyeshadows!

[@itsCaseyWilson_Beauty]

This video was everything!Thank you for the time and work you put into it!

[@xlaughing]

This was just the video I needed! I’ve been loving cream shadows but I like to get affordable ones since they dry out and don’t last as long as powder eyeshadows. Especially appreciate the comparisons of similar formulas/shades!

[@whitneybarringer6719]

Thank you for this video! I'm glad to find someone who has the same taste as me in reflective shadows ❤

[@ShanrellsStash]

A couple more affordable cream shadows for you to try - the Rimmel Wonder’Cloud liquid shadows and the Believe Beauty Glimmer Pots.❤️ I want your opinion on everything available! 😆

[@geniej2378]

I love the Rimmel Wondercloud, they sound like dupes for the Ulta matte liquid shadows, right down to the magical longevity (I have oily lids and they last super well, as if they're primer and pigment combined!(

[@jaimeodell1866]

Love this video!! I have so many of these and love them too! I also love Amber Rush by L’Oréal. That’s a great one and done!!

The nyx jumbo pencils are definitely a hard pass for oily eyelids even with the best of eyeshadow primers. I also have a hard time with the kiko pencils used by themselves. I can only use them as a base for powder eyeshadow. Do you know about the lasting power for your recommendations on oily lids?

[@elisatoertjes]

I have the same problem with the NYX pencils! I thought I was doing something wrong. I never tried the Kiko pencils, because I'm allergic to bismuth oxychloride.
