Review: Eyeko Cream

First things first: This is not a skin cream. Not even a little bit. Do not attempt to put it all over your face, unless you're going to a rave or dressing up as a fairy. You will look like a sparkly hot mess.

Eyeko's website says: "Skip foundation and use Eyeko Cream all over focusing on the eye and cheek area for lit from within skin." I would never do this with Eyeko cream.
However, that's not saying at all that Eyeko Cream is not a worthwhile product. As a matter of fact, I think it's pretty awesome, because it has several versatile uses. Just not as a face cream.

Lucky for me, I knew this going in - any quick search, on Makeupalley or anywhere else, will tell you this. The stuff is packed with shimmer. Look at it...

If you put it all over your face, you would probably look ridiculous. It's a shade of light cotton-candy pink, to boot. Once rubbed in, it's a decent, if glittery, highlighter.

Someone on MUA also suggested it as a cream eyeshadow, so I tried that too. I like it - it's not super pigmented, but if you lay it thick enough then it's a pleasing light pinky color with shimmer.

So, bottom line - not, not, not a face cream. A good highlighter in small doses. A good cream eyeshadow. I've been using it nearly every day since I got it, in one way or another. But NOT as a face cream! :)
