As the name implies, this is a true hot pink, or a matte pink with blue undertones.

MY THOUGHTS:

  • The matte shades perform better than the shimmery ones on first application. You may need to go over a second time for the shimmery colors to show the color uniformly.
  • The colors of these crème products are really vibrant. Sometimes you will see an amazing color in its container, but it performs poorly if you apply it on your lids. These products are true to their pan color.
  • These do not crumble over time. It stayed on my lids for almost 10+ hours, without any additional product.
  • You can rub it all you want, but the product is not going to budge- at all. Here’s a little experiment on that.

 

  • The products can be used as liner, base and on body.
  • Anastasia Beverly Hills wasn’t joking when she added a disclaimer “Remove with waterproof eye makeup remover.” Anything other than oil-based waterproof makeup remover won’t work, at all.
  • I did another experiment. I swatched 4 colors (2 matte, 2 shimmery) on my hand. Then I went on with my daily work. I also did the dishes, washed my hand several times with warm water and soap. At the end of the day, here’s the result.

PROS:

Great color payoff.

Stays on for 10+ hours.

CONS:

You will need a good waterproof makeup remover to remove the product from eyes. I prefer Benefit cosmetics They’re Real! Remover.

IN A NUTSHELL:

A multi-purpose waterproof cream product, which can add color to your everyday normal makeup or creative makeup.

You just have to use an oil based makeup remover… or Benefit Eye makeup remover. It works like charm! 🙂

Oh I love these! Great variety of colors! I don’t really use cream shadows. Do you need to apply a primer at all?

I have used these mostly as liner. If you use it as a liner you don’t have to use a primer, it sets pretty well.
