Makeup Forever Aqua Creams Review & Swatches: #1 Anthracite, #11 Gold, #15 Taupe
I really love the way a cream colour looks on the eye - but more often than not, creams tends to crease when not set with a powder. So when I heard good things about these Makeup Forever Aqua Creams and the fact that they are waterproof I knew I needed to check them out.
Texture: Creamy & smooth and dries quickly.
Colour: Very Pigmented! Very large shade range
Longevity: Seems like forever!
Price: £18 for 6 grams
Packaging: Containers are light and made out of plastic.
Fragrance: One can smell the product when in the jar - a sort of cosmetic/alcohol scent.
#15 Taupe: A browny taupe with a bronze base and sheen.
All the colours I have are metallic and look great sheered out as a wash (great for day time) or as an intense colour.

The are colours in this line that can be used on cheeks and lips too but you'll have to check whether colours and lip/eye safe. I don't tend to react with these sorts of products so I would use them everywhere really but do so at your own will, although it does seem like they would dry out your lips.
As a base/primer these work extremely well and will ensure your eye makeup stays flawless all day. The colour sets very quickly so I suggest working on one eye at a time or apply and blend out quickly!
I'm excited to get a couple more shades because I know these ones won't be leaving my daily makeup bag! I will keep you posted on whether these dry out in the jar.
