    I think your last video was so popular because it’s what real people want to see. It doesn’t take an army of brushes or a ridiculous amount of time. Most folks want something quick and easy to be presentable. I LOVE this look. I’ve always been scared of cream shadows but upon your recommendation, I’ll try the shadows you used. Thank You. 😁

      Laura Filby, I just purchased these cream shadows because I have very sensitive eyes and have to wear a matte always. I'm also 59 and prefer neutral tones and there are a handful in the shimmer and matte. They go on easily and lovely was happy to see Shelby do a video on them. No creasing, no making my eyes look older and most of all I got a color in the shimmer called sand glow or?? I can't remember and it smooths out very easily and quickly with a brush doesn't irritate, and drys so fast no aging!

    I LOVE that you do these videos!!!! I’m with you when it comes to cream shadows. Actually, I’m a huge fan of cream products in general, I think they are so gorgeous and really can deliver that youthful look! I probably won’t wear them as much in the summer because I’m a sweaty, oily Bish, but I’ll get them back out as soon as the humidity is gone. I’m so grateful you take the time to film these kinds of videos! I see all of these “tutorials” around but it’s literally a full face of glam with the majority of it sped up or cut out completely and I can’t actually follow along! They have their place, but I don’t learn a whole lot from them like I do with yours. Plus, you film looks that are wearable and I have recreated so many of them. You’re so gorgeous, I love your style and I hope you continue to get the attention you deserve. 💗💗💗

    I've somehow amassed a large number of cream eyeshadows of late so this video is really helpful. Thank you! And I'm one of those people who found your other video last week (it was suggested) and subscribed right away. :) You're not annoying like a lot of beauty gurus, hehe. You're not overly chatty, there's no overly fancy editing, and you use none of those silly tropes. And your style is clean and very achievable for a novice like me. I also love that you use Real Techniques brushes because I only have RT brushes, myself. Really happy I found you!

    Shelby, I am over 50 and can not tell you how happy I am to have found your channel! You have become my personal guru for creating a less harsh, more flattering, youthful look as I get older. I never left my house wo my black winged eyeliner, but you’ve shown me the error of my ways as I’ve gotten older and that that harsh look is no longer flattering. You have yet to steer me wrong...I’m a professor, widow, and Mom wo a lot of time. (I also have a lot of allergies.). The Ilia and BM foundations, Caviar sticks, and Milk products are fabulous! THANK-YOU!!!

    This look is so pretty and I caved and bought two cavier sticks. I cannot believe how long lasting they are. I have oily, sweaty eyelids and even on an extremely hot day in the sun, the intense amethyst did not crease or melt completely off my eyelids! I did prime with lorac and powder a bit over it...but seriously everything creases on me especially when I get hot. I could tell by the drier feeling on my lids that this was a special product for sure.

Just got them not long ago and I'm going to get the Sugar Frost and keep my fingers crossed I can make it look not too frosty and also that it won't irritate as the Sand Glow did not! GREAT cream sticks I love em! They do blend down nicely as my Sand Glow did so it was just a hint of shimmer so going to pull the trigger on a few other with shimmer and frost in neutral tones!!

    You have absolutely made this technique look so incredibly easy. I am an older woman whose eyelids have become difficult to work with due to extra skin and hooded eyelids. I didn’t sign up for this!!! When I experiment with eyeshadow I end up looking like a clown! I have purchased an ENDLESS supply of “stuff”, for lack of another word I’d like to use. I will definitely try this technique since it seems it could work with what I’m dealing with. I just can’t tug on my eyelids too much but have been wanting to try cream eyeshadow in a pencil form. Thank you ever so much Shelby!

    You do such a fantastic job at teaching techniques. I love cream shadows too. They’re so easy to work with. Mariah Leonard did a video a while back using the MAC Social Climber palette, which is gorgeous. She used Urban Decay’s Ultimate Ozone Stick before going in with the cream shadows. I needed up picking one up and must say it works wonderfully. It’s a really great multi use product. Also, I have some of Kiki’s cream shadows and really like them.
    Thanks for the video, girlie🍃🌸.

    Thank you so much, I've found your videos at the perfect time! I realized within the past several months that I don't like doing eyeshadow. When I need to get ready for work or to go out for the evening, I don't want to dread the process. It's sad to admit there have been instances where I've actually cancelled evening plans and stayed home because just the thought of doing my makeup was overwhelming. Of course it is when the eye makeup alone takes 20 minutes. While I love a full-on eyeshadow look with four different crease colors, perfect gradients, and a lot of impact, it's simply not something I enjoy doing. I've NEVER enjoyed it, but thought that's what you had to do to look beautifully "put together", and I'm pretty decent at blending, so I did it. I was almost allowing my makeup to hold me hostage, which is beyond absurd. The fact that I had purchased all this lovely, expensive eyeshadow and worked for years to develop my makeup skills, made me feel like not using them would be a waste.
    This is going to sound super dramatic, but I think I wanted to be that person - that glamorous, "flawless", skilled makeup person, like the beauty gurus I admired, who had every brush you could ever want and could whip out any eye look for the right formal event. But I literally never attend formal events, nor have any need to get dressed up or wear glamour makeup. It's a process, but I have to let the idea of her go, because she's simply not me.

    I second what other commenters say: You do a good job of acknowledging and speaking to those of us who don't wear sparkly make-up, or lots of make-up. And, btw, I've been a cream shadow fan for years. MAC's are good but my secret weapon: the cream shadows made by Origins (Bamboost is a favorite color, a lavender taupe - on my third pot now). I've only recently ventured into sticks (have a few Mercier Caviar sticks, also Julep), so this vid was most helpful. Thanks!

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! I bought 2 of the caviar sticks awhile ago but didn’t know how to use them.

    Wow...just wow!! So simple yet looks stunning. You absolutely know how to make your eyes pop without a ton of eye goop. As an older (almost 50) woman, I don't watch as many of the young ladies tutorials - one, because of the difference in skin textures, and two, because most of the young women today use a LOT of makeup and I prefer quick and simple....but I absolutely love watching your tutorials, they are quick and simple, yet just beautiful. You are a young woman teaching this older gal some new tricks lol, thank you for sharing! :)

  • @monachirri-hamadeh5851

    So pretty 😍😍 would make a beautiful bridal/bridesmaid look too...so classy! I have also found the ULTA cream matte shadows are great for hooded eyes, no creasing all day! They come in a tube/wand application and they have good neutral colors, great deal when they run their buy 2 get 2 free products! I believe now they have shimmer and glitter formulas as well!

    You are stunning. I have severely hooded eyes and need to try this. I am so hopeful. I purchased some cream shadows recently so we shall see.
