Elizabeth Arden Shimmer Cream Eyeshadow Bronze Beauty

Upon receiving Elizabeth Arden Shimmer Cream Eyeshadow Bronze Beauty and squeezing the pin-sized contents onto my finger I doubted at first that a shadow that deep (like chocolate) will do for my eyes and look sexy and mysterious instead of plain vulgar. I was wrong. Upon application the shadow is spread more evenly, looking in general much better than powdery shadows. It has a wonderful 'built-in' shimmer and will do amazingly for an evening make-up. It compliments my hazel-brown eyes making them look brighter and warmer like they are 'tea-coloured', which I find totally amazing. I believe, it will also suit people with pale or fair completion - it will create more dramatic effect and put additional accent upon the eyes. The shadow keeps its intensity for longer than its 'powdery sisters'.
The problem with these shadows is the process of application: 1) the tube provides more shadow that required 2) there is no easy way to put the shadow on without messing the fingers 3) if you'd like steer clear of using the fingers, then you'll need an additional tool for application.
In general, I can recommend these ones, even despite their discontinuation.

I was sent this product for consideration in a gorgeous dark brown, chocolate shimmer. I was excited to try a luxury, high-end eyeshadow. This really let me down. I have fairly hooded eyes, so there's not too much room to play with eyeshadows but I love a one-wash-wonder.
The cream is in a nice golden tube but you have to dispense some on to the back of your hand and then apply. Far too much product comes out and I think you would go through this too quickly for the money. I couldn't get the precision needed when using my finger as the cream is quite liquid. Using a brush was easier but I needed to try two layers and it got very patchy.
When I was finally happy with the look, I found it didn't last very long.

Interesting eye shadow. It is extremely hard to apply, that it would get the same amount everywhere, probably need a professional make up artist to use this product.
It is nice on my eye, but I find the powder ones much more easier to use than these. This color will only shows well on fair skin.
Lovely shine, perfect bronze color.
