Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Busy Signal - Review, Swatch & EOTD

Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadows are one of my favourite cream shadows as far as the blendability, wear time and choice of colors go. I think Benefit has a better, wider spectrum of colors, just like the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place ShadowCremes. You won't typically need a primer underneath these, but if you have oily lids, a primer definitely helps them stay on longer.

"Busy Signal" is a wearable, shimmery dark brown that I like to use as a lid color. With cream shadows, rather than patting them on like regular eye shadows, I like to apply them with a fluffy brush like a MAC 217. If you don't mind shimmery shades on your crease or outer corners, Busy Signal is something you must try. It can be paired with a variety of lighter shades but, you might also want to keep in mind the super fast setting time. Once set, it does not budge and is not very forgiving to mistakes either. These shadows last a good 7 hours on me, with minimal to no creasing and work great as shadow bases themselves. Busy Signal serves as a good base for a lot of bronzy, coppery shades and makes the colors pop.

One swipe

Applied all over the lid extending slightly up to the crease.

I totally love these shadows. They are smooth without being overly mousse-like and very pigmented. My only complaint is the price($19). I wish they were just a little more cheaper! Other than that, they are awesome.


Have you tried the Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadows? Do you like Busy Signal? Do you wear it by itself of pair it with another color?
