I have sensitive eyes. I am rarely able to wear make up for long before my eyes start feeling tired and itchy. I have tried multiple brands looking for eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, etc that won't contribute to my needing to take off my make up a couple hours after application. I went from typical store brands to more niche, specialty/high end brands, including 'all natural', and so on to no avail. After continue research, I determined that at least in regards to eye shadow, I should try a cream style, as it is less likely to have particles that will fall off into the eye. I decided to try Revlon, on a whim. Here is my experience so far: --The palette "Not Just Nudes" has four pleasing, natural colors. It leans matte, but isn't dull or flat. Any shimmer is minimal. Absolutely fine for day time. I have dark hair, dark eyes and a fair complexion. The darkest of the four works best for me applied close to lash line as a soft eye liner. The lightest color is surprisingly fantastic as a stand alone color when you want to just brighten up the eye area. It blended in with my skin tone so well that I thought it was going to be an unused shadow, but the brightening aspect has really turned me on for continued use. The second lightest (or next dark) color is a pretty neutral- adds some depth without looking made-up. The third color (or as I will clarify, the next to last in terms of darkest of the bunch), will further add definition, or if you have a skin tone or need/preference for a darker lid. Any of these could be used alone. For layering and blending, they work similarly to powder shadows. I recommend adding in a short, firm brush for application. I have used just my finger for single color application, and that works well enough but not for precise application. The mirror in this pot is spectacular. It is super clear and runs the entire length of the container. Another recommendation is to use a primer, or if your eyes can handle it, dust it with a powder first. Without this, the cream shadows will crease, especially with oily lids. Though a quick swipe of crease area through day will take care of it, and not totally remove color. Other than that, I did not experience any smudging or run off. My lids do not feel like they are wearing eye shadow. My eyes haven't been irritated by this collection, which is the one thing that will keep me from wearing make up or not. This color palette is very close to the one labeled, "Skinlights", which I also purchased and will review. It has more pink than brown, but still light and neutral. Picture included.
