Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner "Flatter Me"




this is Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in "Flatter Me", last week i bought this shade at my local counter. it comes in a cute packaging with a glass jar and contains 4.5g for 19€.
Flatter Me is a coppery tan colour with a shimmery pearl. i like the consistency of the Creaseless Cream Shadows (CCS) better than MAC's Paint Pots, as these are finer and kind of melt to a thinner and lighter cream while Paint Pots often are drier and thicker and also dry out faster (don't know if that's because of the packaging, though).
i like to use the CCS with a brush like the MAC 217, which is great for an even and thin application and blends the product at the same time. they are perfect to be used alone for a quick shadow colour and also as eyeshadow base to intensify powder eyeshadows.
this particular shade i bought to use straight on in the first place, but it's also beautiful under every neutral colour - enhances the golden shimmer in brown shadows and give greys/silvers some extra warm hue to push them into the taupe direction.
best thing with the CCS is their staying power: even worn alone they never crease on my oily lids, the whole day.
look here to see swatches of my other CCS by Benefit :)
