Review: ELF Duo Eyeshadow Cream in Butter Pecan

I have yet another product to review and it's the Duo Eyeshadow Cream from ELF. These two shades are my first cream eyeshadows ever. I don't know. I just never thought of trying them out until last month. So was it worth the try?

According to eyeslipsface.com:

Express yourse.l.f. with the easy to blend, crease resistant, creamy duo eye shadow colors. Each gorgeous shade can be worn alone or together for a dramatic effect. The soft-blending formula can also be layered under powder eye shadow to set the color in and keep it lasting vibrant all day.

I thought cream eyeshadows would be nice to have since you can just swipe it on your lids using your fingertips. I went to the ELF counter and looked for a neutral duo that I can use everyday. I couldn't decide between Mocha Swirl and Butter Pecan. But the latter sounded yummy so that's what I got. :)

The darker one is a dark brown shade that you can either swipe all over your lids or blend on your crease area. I personally use this on my crease.

The lighter shade looks almost the same as my skin tone. So this does not really show up on me. However, I  find it to be a nice base for my powder eyeshadows. It makes the colors more vibrant and sets it to last longer. Much like a primer.

These cream eyeshadows do not finish as a powder. The consistency remains as it is. Hence there may be a little problem of creasing so it's best not to layer too much. 

Personally, I wouldn't use this product just by itself. It makes my oily lids look even greasier. I would, however, recommend it to be used as a base for powder eyeshadows. I think that's the best way to get the most out of my 130 pesos. :P

If you want to try these ELF cream eyeshadows you may want to look for more pigmented duos. Butter pecan is clearly made to be sheer for an everyday neutral look. :)

So, will I repurchase this? Nope. Probably not.
