Makeup Wars ~ Favorite Cream Shadow Featuring Bobbi Brown FOREST Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick Swatches & Review

April 15, 2013

For this Makeup Wars we’re showcasing our favorite shadows that are creamy, meaning in a pot or a stick or tube…. basically anything not powder! (FYI, if you follow along on these Makeup Wars posts, the last one was an April Fool’s joke… not sure if everyone got a chance to go back and check the update lol)

Last month I shared my first purchase from a new line of products from Bobbi Brown, the Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Sand Dune.  Because this particular cream shadow is available in 8 shades, I knew I had to pick up one or two more!  The next one I grabbed, of course, was the deep green shade of Forest.

IMG_1371What the Sephora website says about the Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick:

What it is:
A long-lasting, waterproof eye shadow that glides on easy like a stroke of genius.

What it does:
Shade, define, smoke up, and highlight your eyes with this do-it-all eye shadow formula. It glides onto your lids tug-free and is completely waterproof, so it can play as rough as you do. Choose from subtle to eye-popping shades that last for up to eight hours without creasing, flaking, or fading.

IMG_1362 IMG_1370IMG_1396Forest (cool, emerald green) is actually a very smokey and deep blackened green… which I would normally describe as “forest” so the name, IMO, is quite fitting!  This is perfection to wear alone as a shadow or as a base to make a really sexy, green smoked look.

Just like the others I’ve tried, Forest had a nice, soft glide during application and was easy to blend out with my finger.  It held shadows rather well, only showing very minor creasing at the end of the day.  That’s a big deal for me, because normally these long-wear sticks don’t hold and I need a secondary primer under it like Urban Decay Primer Potion.

With this particular shade, if you’re going to wear it alone, looks better when placed on the eye rather than blended out to maintain the pigment and beauty of the shade.  If you plan on putting shadows over top, blending will still be the best choice.

Blended:

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks retail for $28.00 each and are available at Sephora, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and bobbibrown.com.

See what the other participants in this installment of Makeup Wars came up with!  I’m really excited to see how the other bloggers favorite trends!  What WILL we think of next?!

Instagram post 2181515729102509553_48458351 #ad The top of my daughter's Christmas wish list every single year? @AmericanGirlBrand. She's wanted Julie for years and she's so excited to finally own her! Julie's accessories include a REAL (though sized for the littles) pinball machine, Christmas Fireplace and more. (LINK IN BIO to see the blog post!) I loved this shot of them hanging by my aunt's VW. Though it's not from the 70's I think Julie still appreciates the nod to her favorite decade.

They can be extremely picky without actually being picky and that means that my husband and I need to come up with some foolproof ideas for under the Christmas tree (so as not to be shown up by the big guy!). ⠀

Instagram post 2180076725802939170_48458351 Every year I love how our family Christmas cards turn out. So much so that I always end up ordering them super early so I can hold them in my hands as soon as possible. It's taken everything in me to not send them out immediately but I'm over here trying to respect Thanksgiving 😅.⠀
• ⠀
@Minted is always the top choice for us because of the quality of the cards we get + I love the shine of the foil pressed look. Every year I'm more and more impressed! Visit my blog post (#LinkInBio) for more details & a discount code.⠀
