Hi Amanda! I don’t comment often on videos but I really wanted to thank you for all of your content. I’m 52 so I’ve been through a whole lot of makeup trends; from blue eyeshadow, blue eyeliner and blue mascara in the early 80s, unblended tri color looks with Uber shimmery brow bones and heavy black waterlines in the later 80s, the all matte, all the time 90s face, to the more recent trends in the 2000s. It’s hard, sometimes, for us as we get older to change with the times. It’s also hard to fit in with some of the trends when your skin is changing as it gets more mature. Your channel has given me so much inspiration in terms of doing looks that are just a bit more classic, elegant, and soft - yet still fresh and modern. The use of creams and lighter coverage keeps my skin looking more youthful and less crepey and cakey. I come back to your videos over and over and always find something new to add to my routine. Subtle techniques that make an enormous difference and product recommendations that just plain work! So… thank you! I am skin care obsessed so I have great skin for my age but you’ve really helped me to find a make up look that works WITH my skin, instead of smothering it. From base to eyes to cheeks, your tips and recommendations have me looking soft and elegant rather than harsh and overdone and I just sort of love you for that.
Thank you for this Amanda ! I have 54 year old eyes and I find detailed shadow looks aren't for me anymore, details get lost in folds, wrinkles & hoods. I love how you walked us through placement, I've been taking shadows right to the inner eye, eek! Even though I am much older, I still enjoy stopping in for tidbits I can implement or things I can adjust to suit my aging eyes.
I really enjoy your wet-eye look. It’s like your eyes are the focal point of the look, and it just looks so beautiful and clean. Also you look gorgeous as always💖!
Thank you so much for this video. Far too many influencers have gotten away from fundamental application which is what most of their followers started following them for. I appreciate your time and effort in helping all of us ( even the experienced ). Keep up the fantastic work of your channel. Love the content ! 💄 💫
LOVE this video! Would love to see more like this maybe with liquid shadows. I have somewhat hooded eyes, and love the CT oyster Pearl color, but cannot wear it as it creases & doesn’t last; even with a primer. Thinking liquid shadows may be better for me, and would love to see your favorites in action.
I appreciate your using brushes and addressing the characteristics of brushes that work with cream shadows. I always make a mess when I use my fingers, but finding brushes that do a decent job of applying cream shadows is tricky. I absolutely love the eye looks you create!
Hi Amanda! I’d love to see you do something similar with eye shadow sticks. I use them all the time for a one and done option, but would love easy and relatively simple techniques for mixing them or just make a single one more polished!
This might be a repetitive video idea that includes many of your already raved about favorites, but I'd still like to see you talk about your favorite multidimensional "one and done" eyeshadows. I'm too lazy to do elaborate eyeshadow looks anymore and love single shades that look like you applied two or three shadows. Like you said, the shades that work well tend to have some type of shimmery reflect and a slightly different base color that sheers out and goes more matte in the crease. I really liked the way you went into depth on what makes a wet look eyeshadow, so I'd love to hear you talk what makes a multidimensional eyeshadow.
Such a helpful video with such beautiful looks! I’ve been playing more with cream and liquid shadows (phytosurgence, lisa Eldridge, auric, etc.) and have found that tapping a powder/glitter topper (especially Natasha or Pat) over helps to set the cream or liquid on my more hooded eyes. Bonus: less fallout and even more sparkle ✨
Thank you Amanda . I’m 55 and I have wrinkles and hooded eyes and discovered cream eyeshadows and cream eyeshadow sticks work best for me . Your tutorials are helpful as to different ways to apply and blend . I’m all about cream anything too considering that I have dry skin . I haven’t tried liquid yet , but I’m looking forward to it.
So excited you posted this--your tutorials are just as helpful as your reviews! And the makeup is stunning as always. Thanks for another wonderful upload! ♥️
Thank you so much Amanda. You do a great tutorial! Would love to see more. Even though I'm a senior, I still love make-up & I especially love wet eye shadow looks. You have inspired me.
You are such a wonderful tutor! You have completely converted me to cream and liquid eyeshadows! Love all the one and done looks you’ve done and this review has both that and a level up look! Thank you!!!
Thank you for this! I just bought some shadows. Such a beautiful eye look.💕I would also like to see another video with different combos of colors, maybe with game over or more stila colors.
I have hooded eyes and I am in my fifties. I love how you do your eye make up , but I would appreciate it if you could show me how to apply cream shadows for someone like me. Thank you
You really need to try the Kiko Cosmetics Colour Lasting Creamy Eyeshadows. I tried them for the first time today and I'm super impressed. They're very pigmented and sparkly and create that fantastic "wet lid" look.
Oh yeah ! I love all Kiko Milano cream shadows in the pots especially from their limited editions. Theyre totally amazing, better then CT ones. If Colour shock cream shadows from Happy B-day Belezza are still available - theyre bomb !
I love all ur videos and I’d love a comparison video of all ur fav cream and single shadows. Ik u have a collection vid, but it would be great to see them all side by side and have ur opinion on undertones etc
I'd love to know how to use cream shadow - or any one and done eye shadow look for hooded, very hooded and deep set eyes with very little space between lid and brow.
Have you ever tried Clionadh Cosmetics eyeshadows. I don't think they're cream, but they're super glittery and I think you might like some of them for the wet effect.
Omg thanks a lot! I love cream shadows too, but I get intimated by them lol. I do have colour pop shock shadows. Or I also have like three shadow sticks to use. And liquid eye shadow too.
Thank you so much for your video! I love your videos about cream eyeshadows, because I just got into it. I would love to see a comparison between Oyster Pearl from Charlotte Tilbury and Platinum from Tom Ford, because I already have Platinum and love it and I'm thinking about maybe getting Oyster Pearl, too. Next wish, if I may, is a video about cream eyeshadows for mature skin and how to play them. Best wishes from Germany
Amanda, how would we with naturally hooded lids and/or small eyes do this to make it visible but still soft looking? You have the perfect lids for this due to the shape and size, but think Taylor Swift for reference or Jennifer Lawrence etc. Thanks so much.
While doing your eyeshadow, try periodically looking straight into the mirror- to see where you’re placing product and what’s showing- I think it might help give you a framework and is sometimes easier than keeping the lids closed!
Perhaps Amanda has some other, better tips, but I will tell you what I do. I have very hooded eyes, a la Taylor Swift, and mine are also slightly downturned on the outer corners. I've always struggled with doing a wing, so i typically just blend it out a little like Amanda did in the second tutorial, but a little more rounded and blown out than she did. First I always start with an eyeshadow primer, i find that if i use concealer if just creases on me. Then the most important thing I have learned is to look straight into the mirror front on, with your eyes open when you do you crease colour. This way it allows you to blend slightly about the crease (without it looking crazy). I also find that going in with with a subtle crease colour really helps define the eye contours without making it look like you're trying to blend a shadow too high. Think just a little deeper than your skin tone, like a bronzer type colour, I do sometimes use my bronzer for this. And then I go in with the shimmer, and I usually put it all over the lid, especially if i'm using a light coloured shimmer. The kind of nice thing with hooded eyes if that you can go a little dramatic with the glitter or whatever because most of the time your eyes are open, no one can see the whole look and then you get a "bam" of colour/glitter when you blink. My eyes are also kind of small and deep set, so i tend to avoid too much colour on the bottom lashline, kind of like what amazing said, just the outer portion. And then I go in with a lot of mascara on the upper lashes and just a touch on the bottom to keep that looking fresh and clean. I find it can quickly become too much with darker colours and mascara on the bottom lashline and then just look messy. Hope that was at least semi helpful!
Try applying the product lower than you typically would- I know some folks tend to apply the product where they want it to be right away but sometimes focusing the product right below or above can help with control!
I would love love love to see a top 3 in every makeup category from you. Please and thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
This would be amazing!
It’s on the list for this fall 😍
@@AmandaZ omg! So excited!!

I was given a set of expensive cream eyeshadows but didn't know how to apply cream eyeshadow. Thank you for useful demonstration!

Thanks for the tips! I still struggle with cream shadows in stick / pencil format, so I would love to see some quick tips using those.

Your technique and explanation is so approachable. Thanks for not talking down to us. It’s so appreciated.
Of course ❤️❤️ I wouldn’t dream of it it’s so important that make up is fun there should never be shame in a self care routine ❤️
Thank you for using some Stila! I adore them and no one talks about them anymore. They are genius for a not wet - wet look!
Lovely video as alway! ❤
Thank you Amanda . I’m 55 and I have wrinkles and hooded eyes and discovered cream eyeshadows and cream eyeshadow sticks work best for me .

Thank you so much!!! I hope it’s helpful I appreciate your support ❤️
I would love to see a matte cream eyeshadow look for work, without glitter.
Thank you so much Amanda. You do a great tutorial! Would love to see more. Even though
I'm a senior, I still love make-up & I especially love wet eye shadow looks. You have inspired me.
I've wanted to use cream shadows and it's been frustrating. So thank you!
So, so appreciate your expertise. I'm dealing with thyroid eye disease and having to learn new ways to do eye makeup.
Great video ❤can you do a tutorial with the Bobbi Brown shadow sticks😍
You are such a wonderful tutor! You have completely converted me to cream and liquid eyeshadows! Love all the one and done looks you’ve done and this review has both that and a level up look! Thank you!!!

I would be really interested to see a video with liquids and creams with the longest wear-time, and/or wear off in the prettiest way!

Ooops... just found the comparison you made last year. ^^
Beautiful!!
Thank you so much!!
what concealer do you use? No primers or powders help my eyeshadows stay. ty ❤️❤️❤️
Kosas revealer! I don’t think it helps with longevity, the elf no budge and Ulta matte cream eyeshadows do though!
Thank you!

Thank you Amanda and Valeska🌸
Can I use Mac groundwork instead the elf sand dune?
Thanks! I almost tossed my Elf No Budge Eye Shadow thinking UGH… I hate it. 😊
Do you think the creams are better or worse for mature eyes?
My advice is to color ABOVE the crease if you have a hooded or droopy eyelid so that the color can be seen.
Have you tried Hindash’s multipurpose shimmer liquid?
You’re the best!!!
Does the CT Oyster Pearl have glitter in it?
What brush makes a good alt to the pro 18 if there's no sephora in your country?
You're like the queen of taupey color cream eyeshadows haha
What lipstick are you wearing
Stick cream eyeshadow. How to blend those? The make my lids feel sticky. Tips would be great. Thank you for your help.LAUREN
Shelby Wilson is the BEST to watch for stick cream shadow techniques.
@@RachelDee thank you for the help.
Hi Amanda when I put on my cream shadow it seems to be cakey n not smooth. I do use a primer but it never looks blended n smooth.
💜💜💜💜
Yep yep yep
I always put it up too high!!! Or not in the right angle with my brow bone or something idk
Try applying the product lower than you typically would- I know some folks tend to apply the product where they want it to be right away but sometimes focusing the product right below or above can help with control!
I can never figure out when to use an eyeshadow primer under a cream shadow and when it’s not a good idea lol
