The new Givenchy Ombre Couture Cream Eyeshadows launched at the beginning of Feb 2014.
They are described as a creamy, waterproof, long-lasting (16 hour) eyeshadow.
They can be worn alone or mixed to create your own unique shade or as a base under other
eyeshadows to improve the hold.
They cost £18 each.
(6) Kaki Brocart is a khaki green.
I used mine with primer and it lasted all day.
They have a almost moose-smooth texture and a non-smudge powdery finish.
They have a slight shimmer finish and good amount of pigment.
I applied it with a brush then smoothed it with my fingers, which worked quite well as I found the spread to be a little uneven when you try to build the colour with a brush.
I wore it alone and it lasted more than 8 hours on me without creasing, when worn with primer.
When I tried to smudge it, almost nothing came away.
Overall, one of the best cream shadows I have used. I would definitely repurchase.
