I received the Natural Glow color in my free $20 mystery bag, and I love it!
It's beautifully complementary to pale skin tones.

The colors seem true to color.
The pigmentation is great!!
After applying my eye primer, I apply these and use them as a shadow base for other colors and it holds it really well.
On its own (still using primer) it looks really nice as well and they haven't creased on me at all.

When first opened, the creamy texture is nice...but mine have started to become a bit stiff and bit harder to apply to my finger let alone a brush.
I've only had these a couple months and I haven't been able to use them as much as I'd hoped.

I have this cream eye shadow in several colors and I've been impressed with each one! My favorite color is in Eggplant. It's the perfect mauve purple/brown for me and it has a satin-y finish. The other light (highlighter) shades are too glittery for me (candlelight, dawn, natural glow), and I'm not a glitter fan.

I use the light, glittery shades as a highlight, but to cancel out the glitter, I'll use the elf Baked Bronzer in St. Lucia over the cream shadow. It cancels out the glitter nicely but still keeps the original cream shadow color. St. Lucia is a skin toned color for myself, by the way. It's my "highlighter without using a highlighter" shade.

I can safely wear the cream eye shadows alone without worrying about creasing. They dry fairly quickly and then they don't budge for a majority of the day. I work 10-11hr days and my eye makeup usually looks the same as it did when I first applied it.

The elf cream eye shadows are smooth, creamy, pigmented, crease-proof, and long lasting. They are wet long enough to blend, but once they dry, they are going to stay put. It's very similar to both popular drugstore and high end cream shadows. I find myself reaching for these more than other brands because the packaging is more compact and lightweight.

I use an angled eyeliner brush to apply a thin layer of color. Other brushes tend to put too much product on the eyes and make it splotchy when trying to blend (which is my problem with ALL cream shadows, not just elf). My all time favorite makeup product is actually the elf cream shadow in Eggplant, if that tells you anything about the quality.

My only cons for this product are: 1.) The smell. I hate the smell. It's VERY strong. 2.) The color selection and the finishes. I wish there were more shades with a satin finish and NO GLITTER CHUNKS. I can work with the glitter by using glitter shades as a base, but I'm 22 years old and I'd be happier with shimmer/satin.

I think this is a great product and I'll definitely continue to buy it if more shades are released with more finishes. I'd love to see more vibrant colors such as true purple shades, gold shades, burgundy/wine shades, light browns, pinks, pearly white, etc! :)

I was really surprised by how easily and smoothly this creamy eye shadow applied to my wrinkly eyelids. It just goes on beautifully and I now have a few shades that I wear almost everyday with different blends. I just wish there was more color variety because I like these more than any powdered eye shadow I've ever tried. I consider this a must buy!

Not much to say. Creases, clumps, fades. Not good.

I got this product wanting to try out some cream eyeshadows. I got it in Eggplant, because I love purple on my brown eyes. I have a medium tan skintone. The product itself looks completely different than on the site. It's more of a brown color than a purple. It's also a really thin consistency.
I tried it on naked eyelids, and it barely went on. Even with multiple applications it still didn't show up very well. I also tried it with the eyeshadow primer, and still nothing.

Definitely do not like this product, and won't really use it at all.

I have tried other cream shadows including the ones that add fragrance and this is the best! It is long-lasting and is easy to apply. Bought it in Bronzed. I like that I didn't notice any of elf cosmetics having fragrance in it, because I am allergic to fragrance. I love cream eyeshadows so I was so happy to find a line that I love. I look forward to the other colors I ordered. Thanks and it's a great price!

This eye shadow alone will give you a nice bit of light color, its pigmented enough for a cream shadow and it works great for a base. I find with a primer and another shadow on top I am able to avoid any creasing, alone however you may find some icky creases.

the color I had gotten was candlelight which is a pretty cream shimmer color. I use this for my corner eye. the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I feel like it could be just a little more creamy and then it would make application easier. that being said its a nice color payoff, very pretty, and does apply decently.

I love it. I just put it on my finger and lightly pat and blend on my eyelid. I have candlelight, a nice shimmery gold/nude. It lasts all day and looks great(: Love it.
