REVIEW : 3CE Glam Cream Shadow

Price - USD13.21
Where to buy - stylenanda



There is nothing much to this cream eyeshadow other than it is a cream based eyeshadow. Yes, there are many cream eyeshadows out there and this is just about the same, probably only the colour differs.

Nowadays, there are so many type of eyeshadows, you're spoilt by choice the moment you stop at a beauty stand. To name a few, there is the usual powdered eyeshadows, creams, and also the pencil type. Now, to make your choice. Since we are reviewing this product, so whats about cream eyeshadows that differ from the rest.

Firstly, it is cream based. This actually makes a difference in application and how long it stays on throughout the day. Because of its creamy texture, it holds together better than the old powdered one. This would mean, usually when you put on your eyeshadow, bits of it will fall onto your lower lid, or if you are using a dark colour, creates dark circles if you do not notice and wipe it off. Also, we personally feel that is why with normal powdered eyeshadows we usually apply eye primers first so that it will hold the colour and product onto the lid of your eyes. Do notice professional makeup artists tend to tap their brushes before apply the eyeshadow onto your eyes. They do so to tap the excess off, so that it will not be falling on your face instead.

Next on, personally and as a group, we feel it lasts longer. It is easier to blend out the colour as it is creamy. Application will not be as harsh to your skin as it is not of a dry texture. For some cream eyeshadows you can even wait for it to melt a little on your hand or fingertips which ease out in the application and blending later on.



Now, we got only one small tub of this in the colour #Gold Peach. And we just checked the website, they have actually stopped selling this colour. The colour and level of shimmery-ness of the cream shadow in the tub is as above, with and without flash. What disappoints about more cream shadows are when you actually buy it for its sparkly things. But only the have shimmer on the top layer of the shadow. This product you can bet on it it is not so. Even when you apply this on the skin, the colour matches the tub, just a lot lighter.


A bit on the colour is that, it is very sweet looking. And perfect for the under eyes for that innocent korean eyes look. The colour is very much the same as the tub and blends in a perfect shade of peach and shimmery. However even as in the photos above, the colour turned out more washed out than it is. You can actually see the peach colour better in real life. We have no idea why the lighting made the skin look so dark as well. You will have to see for yourself how peachy it looks then !

As said earlier this is most likely to be the same as any other cream eyeshadows, the texture and all. If there is a colour by a different brand or a substitute with a cheaper pricetag to it, we say go get it. Choice is all up to you.

Rating - 3/5 for its colour
