MeMeMe Cream Eyeshadow

I was drawn to this brand purely for the name, I love it. They have a wide range of products for a reasonable price tag, and I spotted this eye shadow and decided to give it a go. I have seen a lot of people use MAC paint pots, and recently Maybelline Colour Tattoos (which I really want to try) and thought this may follow the same suit.





Sorry this swatch is so bad, I couldn't get the lighting to a good enough setting. However you can vaguely see that it is a light neutral colour, the actual shade is called Hollow Haze. It does have a very light and creamy consistency and apply quite well. However the pot is quite small which makes it hard to get out.



It contains quite a lot of shimmer, but looks rather nice when first applied. In the picture it is just on its own, however you can build other colours on top of it. Now it looks nice for about half an hour, then it creases. I was less than pleased. I tried it numerous ways; with primer underneath, powder over the top, eye shadow over the top etc and it still creased. 


I know this is quite blurred but I hope you can see the creasing. Now after this I still had quite a lot of product left, which I really didn't want to throw away, but I can't stand creasing. So I played about with product a bit, and have found that it works really well as a highlighter. It blends easily, and the shimmer in it reflects the light really well, so it really highlights my cheek and brow bones.

Overall I would give it a 5/10. I don't like it as an eye shadow, but as a highlighter, it gets a thumbs up from me. It would definitely not stop me from purchasing more MeMeMe products in the future.

Have to tried this, or any other MeMeMe product? What did you think?
