Tip: Makeup For Ever Aqua Cream – Revolutionary!

My idea of makeup is a swipe of Pinking Sheers on my way out the door. That said I own tons of name brand cosmetics because I aspire to being someone who wears enough makeup to look ‘finished’. I thought I’d found the ‘stay on forever, even if you accidentally rub your eye’, holy grail of eye shadow in MAC. I was watching this makeup tutorial on YouTube as Mummy Ask is a mascara maven and I was just loving her shadow. I run away from shimmer shadows but this was super pretty. I found out she was wearing Aqua Cream from Makeup Forever. It’s an American one but a quick google found I could buy online in Australia.

So if sparkly puts me off, cream shadows scare hell outta me! All that creasing and slipping. But in the name research (you know, personal gratification, thinly veiled as blog research) I bought a pot in Taupe.

I was super happy with the colour and texture and had no dramas with creasing or slipping. I didn’t really do my homework. So as I was putting it on for a weekend out with Mr Ask, I was thinking – damn, this looks good but I’ll be swimming before dinner and I’ll be all panda, wish they made waterproof eyeshadow. Read the label and it is waterproof eyeshadow!

I swam and frolicked in the pool, I showered the chlorine off and (wait for it) still had eyeshadow!

I just love the staying power of this stuff! You can buy it online in Australia from here or here and if you are in Adelaide you can buy it here. If you give it a try, let me know what you think.
