I can confirm no need for primer…in fact, I consider the BB cremes to work similar to the MAC paint pot…like their own primer. They definitely last all day…I just took mine off ;>

Also, BB is offering 25% off on-line purchases right now (till tomorrow). In case anyone is interested in the Platinum shimmer brick.

Does BB cream shadows crease without primer or paint pot underneath? Or is a primer a must for these or any cream shadows? Is the shimmer tame enough for a professional workplace?

And totally not related, but can someone help me how to wear MAC e/s in “girlie”? I’m Asian, NC 30, cool-toned (I think), and I don’t like bright-in-your-face makeup, but this color was a gift and I really think it’s pretty. But I have no idea if I should even use it b/c it might clash with my skintone, and I don’t know what colors go with it. Please help!

The Pink Shimmer Brick is all the rage with pro MUA’s!!! We all have one in our kit…hmmm – maybe we know something like these colors bring life and light to your face and help to reduce that nasty winter dullness!!

Hi Michelle, I have to second Karen on the BB cream shadows – they are VERY good. I have almost all of them, and use them alone or as bases. My absolut favorite has to be Galaxy – I (too often) put that on with some liner and out the door….love it!

Karen? the BB site describes New Steel as a dark deep brownI believe…so I was going for Ash – but your swatches has me doubting – is Ash more Brown, and Steel more grey???
