The Best Cream Eyeshadows That Won't Ever Budge or Crease

The formula is an editor favorite for a reason. The handy applicator allows for precise strokes, and the creamy liquid dries down after just a few seconds. And don't worry if you don't have time to touch your look up later—the formula is practically crease-proof. 

A chubby pencil makes throwing on a full-on eye look as easy as signing your name. They glide on like butter, and you can smudge them out for a more smokey gaze. But once they're set, they're on for the night—no budging. 

Versatility is this formula's strong suit. Apply one layer for a sheer look, or layer it on for a bold, opaque pop. 

A smokey eye might sound like a project, but a swipe of this pencil along the lash lines creates a diffused, sultry gaze that won't turn crunchy as the hours pass. 

While some natural formulas lack the color pay-off we all crave, this creamy pot packs a pigmented punch. Warm up the formula with your finger, then swipe the finely-ground shimmer across your lids and brow bone. 

This sheer option screams "editorial." One thin layer adds a semi-translucent tint to the lids for some cool-girl edge. 

If your lids tend to get a little dry, don't worry about adding this little pot to your arsenal: these pretty, soft shades are infused with Argan tree oil for comfortable wear. 

You know that universally flattering golden hour light we chase when we're trying to 'get the shot'? This formula is that creamy filter, concentrated. The whipped mousse adds an illuminating pop to any eye shape.  

Mercier's pencils have been a makeup bag staple for the pros for years. Use it as a liner in concentrated strokes, or blend it all over the lid for a hazy wash of color. 

K-beauty is way ahead of the curve when it comes to hi-tech formulas and innovative textures, and this Korean export is proof. The airy, whipped gel is utterly weightless and blends into the skin to create a bold wash of color without stickiness.
