Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow

          I have been using powder eyeshadow ever since I started using makeup. The texture of powder is very fluffy and there's almost always fallout. Glittery eyeshadows have the worst fallouts. A few years ago I bought an eyeshadow cream pencil, but I remember it being dry and the colors weren't so good either. Therefore, I kept on using powder because that's what I'm used to. However, I buy different brands in hopes of finding powder eyeshadows with least fallouts. I have also heard that powders also emphasizes fine lines, so I want to try eyeshadows that aren't powder based.

          Last year, I discovered cream eyeshadow, which is a type of eyeshadow that I've never really notice. The cream shadow was from marykay and it's really smooth and easy to apply. At first I used an eyeshadow brush, but it was just too hard to apply so I switched to using my ring finger. After using my finger, the shadow is more evenly spread and looked way better than using the eyeshadow brush. Since the beginning of this year, I've been wanting to get some more cream eyeshadow to try, but I was a little lazy so didn't really executed my plan. 

          Yesterday I got the chance to go to the mall and decided that it is the time for me to get cream eyeshadow. After looking around, I finally decided to buy Tarte's Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eyeshadow in slate. Slate has a grey tint and is sparkly. I try the eyeshadow on this morning and it was actually a bit disappointing. The opening was smaller than my marykay eyeshadow, so it was a struggle trying to use my ring finger. Also, the eyeshadow does not feel creamy at all and felt really dry and hard. After using my ring finger to apply the shadow on one eye, I finally picked up my eyeshadow brush and used it to apply the shadow on my other eye. The color is really not bad, but just the texture was the problem. Guess I have to experience with other brands to find the cream shadow for me.
