rms Beauty Magnetic Cream Eyeshadow

I've written about and pictured this before but I hope you'll forgive me for revisiting it, because rms Beauty cream eyeshadow in Magnetic is one of my favourite products from the rms Beauty line, and one of my favourite eyeshadows of any line. I do love a taupe eyeshadow - the wrong taupe can look like a bruise, but the right taupe can give a flattering, natural-looking shadow to the eye, and Magnetic is definitely the right taupe for me.

As I always mention - these do crease. If creasing really bothers you, do not buy the rms Beauty cream eyeshadows. I don't mind fixing with a fingertip at lunchtime because these are very easy to wear on my dryish eyelids, and I'm reaching for these a lot in the current hot weather when I'm too hot and bothered to muck around with powder eyeshadows (I also find these eyeshadows easier to fix a bit of creasing than it would be to do so with a powder eyeshadow).

Applied: it gives a glossy shadow to the lid. I love the light reflection and the glossiness of it; it seems to make my eyes look brighter and more awake. No-one is going to be admiring your skilful application of eyeshadow with this look but I find it very easy to wear and flattering. I prefer this to the Ellis Faas Light E301 on me for a daytime look, as the rms Beauty is more subtle. The mascara is Lancome Hypnose Precious Cells and I do think it is doing something for my lashes, but I'll report back on it properly in a couple of weeks.
With the rest of my face. I'm also wearing the rms Beauty Lip2Cheek in Illusive, a plum/rose, on my cheeks and lips.

  1. That is a lovely colour. I can really see in the full face shot that it gives a nice glossy finish. Ideal make up for the weather we've had (it's almost a relief to wake up to rain!).

  2. Wow, what a gorgeous colour! I only have a few cream eyeshadows in my collection but I love the look and finish they give! I can always live with a bit of creasing...that's what life was like before primers anyway! :)

  3. I do like this color too. I also see a bit of lavender in the color.

  4. That is very pretty- I love taupe as well. I love the concealer from this line (waves). Thanks for introducing us to these fabulous *natural* lines!
