How To: Apply Cream Eyeshadow for Beginners | Easier than Powder!

[@marygillespie2028]

I've worn Bobbi Brown cream stick eyeshadow for 30 years, and have never needed a primer. It does not crease or wear off during the day (at least, not on me!)

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I love that, it sounds like you’ve found your perfect product!

[@shawnsupershine8058]

I just purchased Bobbi Brown cream shadow sticks…can’t wait to try them!

[@TurrisBabylonius]

Bobbi Brown MUAs explicitly say that the cream shadow sticks should be applied on bare lids.

[@shannonwhite7605]

All 3 looks are beautiful... not overdone..👏🏻👀🩷 My favorite is #2... its so clean & pretty! Great video, Gabi!🥰❤️💄💋🫶🏼

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yes! Thank you! I’m so happy to hear that you found it helpful!

[@НатальяСклярова-ф2б]

Thank you very much for the dubbing and all your work, I found you recently, but fell in love with your professionalism, sincerity and charm.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thank you for watching!

[@maggiejohnson9411]

Love this Smokey look

[@76winds]

Beautiful, darling! I’ve been wanting to play with cream shadows and simplify my daytime look for days off work. Thanks for giving me the hand I needed and for the love that always comes through in what you do for us!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

You are so welcome! Cream shadows are so much fun. 🥰 I appreciate you talking the time to leave such a sweet comment.

[@lindacasadei3818]

Absolutely beautiful!!❤❤

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thank you! These are such easy looks for everyday.

[@carolinerabjohn9323]

Great advice! As a mature woman I have just started to use cream eyeshadow. Merit and Trinny London work well for me but your looks have provided greater variety. Thank you

[@RJ-go3sn]

Gabi, these looks are just gorgeous! And RMS is everything for cream eye shadow!

[@WriterSnider]

Loved all the looks! I adore cream shadows. I rarely reach for powder shadows anymore.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I love them too! They're so much easier to work with.

[@jenniferchristian3803]

These looks are very do-able and easy to understand and follow. Looove the close up of the eye, makes it so much better!!

[@bethmelugin5588]

I agree with you, the second look is my favorite!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

It's so soft and pretty right?

[@carolbethel1244]

I really like all 3 ways. Thanks for the great tips.😊❤

Great tutorial as usual Gabi. I purchased the eyelash heater you showed us in another video and in the information box here and WOW, it changed my eyelash game. I love it. ❤❤❤

[@GlamGirlGabi]

It’s super great isn’t it Donna? It works way better for me than a curler. Although the Rephr curler is also amazing 🙌

[@maureenturk8578]

Perfect explanation! Thanks Gabi ❤. I ordered the base product you mentioned.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I'm so glad you liked it! That product is really great ❤

[@susanfrenette3400]

Hi Gabi. I have a wedding to go to soon and these tips are just what I needed, I’ve bought the products but need the know how to use them. Thank you 😊

[@louiseward3681]

Another perfectly timed video Gabi! I have an RMS basket ready to checkout based on your last 2 videos. I also picked the Supernova cream shadow to try. I was about look for video reviews to get a better look at the shade and then your new video popped up!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

You’re going to love it! I’m happy this video was helpful! You can use supernova for all of these looks. I reach for it constantly now. And guess what - Rose Marie Swift is coming on my channel on a livestream early next week 🤫

[@louiseward3681]

Wow! That's amazing news! I can't wait to watch the livestream!

[@melindasmith3185]

[@patricem.9867]

Great video! I've been wanting to try a cream shadow. Also, I discovered your channel two weeks ago and have binged an embarrassing amount of your content 😂 At 56, the blush and under eye concealer tips have been game changers. And ..for my own Christmas treat, I am saying goodbye to my MAC brushes that are so old the brand is worn off and buying new brushes with your generous code. So glad I found your videos and LOVE today's blouse. Thanks, Gabi!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

You’re so sweet! I’m so glad you love the videos! 💕 The fact that you’ve been binge watching and finding value literally makes my day. I create content with so much of my heart and soul and when people find it helpful, it truly means everything to me. Welcome to the glam fam Patrice!

[@BIRDY_GIRL49]

Thanks, Gabi! ☀️ I loved Daytime Smokey. Planning on doing this look for Thanksgiving Day!

Love the cream products, especially as I've gottwn older.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I love the third look on me and on you. It’s fast and very forgiving. It’s hard to mess up. You can add more, later in the day. If you need to go out for the evening the smoke can be emphasized for drama or glamour.

[@akacreamette]

I do love adding the half lash :)

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Ooooh I got it ages ago! It’s super super old. I’m not even sure where I bought it or else I would send you a link! So sorry.

[@christinawespimedium]

Thank you Gabi ❤ I finally bought Charlotte Tilbury‘s Eyes to mesmerize in „pillow talk“ as a one and done cream eyeshadow. Because I needed something quick and easy for some of my mornings. And may I ask you: what can I do to keep my forehead mat the whole day. I have oily T-zone and if I put foundation on my forehead, it starts to look caky and super shiny after a few hours. Did you do a Video on that maybe? Greetings from Switzerland!

[@Churylz]

where is your shirt from? it's gorgeous, and you look amazing in it!

[@therealJamieJoy]

Your looks are always so beautiful and illustrated so well with the camera editing and your explanations of the process. Thank you, Gabi I'm not sure if cream shadows are for me. They seem like a bit more work than powder shadows. Is there a particular reason you would recommend cream over powder? or the variant of "super shock" style shadow that is a hybrid of cream and powder?

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thank you so much for the kind words. Cream gives higher pigment payoff quicker than powder. You can smudge it on the eyes with your finger, quickly soften the crease and away you go. It looks pigmented and rich without having to build. Powder shadows take more finessing and building plus when using powder you have to deal with fallout.

[@veronicahinojosa8821]

Love your blouse. Where is it from?

[@trinablum7102]

Love all those looks. Gabi 2 questions… 1. You suggest to use an eyeshadow base before cream shadow but the sigma one you’ve recommended is a cream eyeshadow stick? I tend to use the Mac paint pot in Painterly as a quick eyeshadow base but that too is a cream eyeshadow? 2. That last look the powder bronzer is used in the crease first then the cream eyeshadow but I thought it was cream first then powder?

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hey Trina! Don't get too focused on the names of products because often it is just marketing. The MAC paint pot in painterly works EXACTLY like an eyelid primer and is PERFECT for use before cream shadows. If you have that already, use that. As for the powder then cream question, again, makeup is art and you can do whatever you want. This technique works well for me but you can try it the opposite way if you want. I just find that I like the cream to sit on top of the contoured base.

[@GJONESEVEN]

Gabi I loved this video! Thank you! Very informative! Question, is there a specific reason you curl lashes after mascara? Love the hot lash curler idea by the way💡genius!😘👌

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Yes it’s because for a heated curler to work, you need mascara. It’s almost like spraying some hairspray before using a curling iron. The lashes need to be coated in order to lift.

[@GJONESEVEN]

@ got it. Thank you!

[@sabrinas.3564]

A red lip for the holidays pls. ❤

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Oh want me to do some red lip color combinations in a video that’s the same style as this one? I can totally do that!

@ I think many of us could benefit of a tutorial for beginners, from how to apply the lip liner, lipstick(which formulas are easier), making it last and not get on our teeth pls 😂

[@debhauer3342]

Sigma’s primer is sold out. Is there another eyeshadow primer you recommend?

[@louiseward3681]

This doesn't help if you need it immediately, but if you're based in US, it comes in and out of stock at Target. I bought it a month ago after not being able to find it for a while. It was in stock a week ago but is now out of stock again! You can set an alert through the app to notify you when it comes back in stock to jump on it before it sells out again!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Try the Urban Decay eyelid primer. It’s also excellent!

[@causeandconsequences]

Hi Gabi! Do you apply foundation, primer and then the cream eyeshadow? Or do you use the primer before the foundation?

[@ckloehs]

Well now I want a heated eye lash curler 🤩

[@GlamGirlGabi]

It’s life changing…

[@cathieh.7225]

I've never used cream eyeshadow, might have to invest in one. On a different note, what nail polish shade are you wearing it's very pretty!

[@andreajane]

Great video, Gabi! All looks beautiful. Thanks for demonstrating how to use cream shadow as liner - I've thought about doing this, but wasn't sure how well it would work. It looked lovely on you. Merit has a navy type shade that I'd want to try as liner, as well as the viper. Was that the 03 rephr brush that you used? I ask because they have an even smaller pencil brush, #23, which I own, but not so sure if it would work as it's perhaps too soft. Is a pencil brush preferable to an angled brush when using cream shadow as liner?

I don't think I would apply it above the crease. I would have to see your face in detailed to tell you for sure but I think it would be best to keep it on the eyelid and contour the crease with a bronzer

Nice, but impossible to achieve on watery sensitive eyes which dissolve absoletely anything you put around outer corner, including primers, conealers set or unset. My eyes seems to produce industrial strenght solvant for makeup😂

[@doonagoding6146]

Cream shadows are tempting but with crepey older eyes I don’t like the tugging that doesn’t come with powders

[@trinablum7102]

If you get the right cream shadow (or liquid) there is no tugging. Some of the eyeshadow sticks are horrible to use (the creamier ones like Bobbi Brown are good though). Even better if you use your finger because you can pat them on.
