Now You See It, Now You Don’t: Becca Creme Eye Colour in Ametrine

August 28th, 2010 by Karen 12 Comments

As much as I love how glossy Becca’s Creme Eye Colour in Ametrine looks on my lids ($28, one of eight shades), dagnabbit if it doesn’t disappear quicker than pints of Häagen-Dazs Dulce de Leche ice cream in my freezer.

Shimmery golden brown Ametrine has lots of good stuff going for it — great pigment, shimmer and a blendable texture (I’ll use it with my fingers). It bestows a dewy finish that looks youthful and fresh, too, which is no easy feat on this 30-something girl.

Unfortch, it just doesn’t last long at all. Used by itself or atop primer on my combination dry/oily lids, it’s almost completely gone within two hours of applying, and it starts to migrate and settle into fine lines after just one.

On the bright side, I suppose the packaging’s a plus. It’s convenient and easy to bring along for touch-ups throughout the day, which somewhat makes up for the weak wear time, I guess. And the color does seem to linger a little longer when it’s worn above a primer with a powder shadow on top…

But that seems like a lot of work for a $28 eyeshadow. I do like the color and glossy finish, but methinks it’s not made with oily lids in mind. Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: B-/C+

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I love this shade, it’s really similar to wet’n’wild’s coloricon in nutty- which is 2 bucks, though a powder, not a cream.

      Those Color Icon singles are FABULOUS! Which color is your favorite?

      They’re really great shadows, and so cheap!

      I could easily chow down on a tub in one session! 🙂

      Have you ever tried the frozen yogurt version? It’s pretty good.

      Le sigh, it is. I was really hoping this would have the same staying power as a Creaseless Cream or a Paint Pot, but no dice.

    That’s too bad because the color is so pretty. I have trouble with pretty much any cream eyeshadow in getting them to last on my lids. But I bet there are people out there that can do them!

      Hi Tracy,

      Have you tried the Benefit Creaseless Creams? They stay on crazy good, even on oily lids.

        I forgot about those! Yes, they are pretty much the only ones that stay on. The MUFE aqua creams aren’t bad either!

    I am not the biggest fan of these cream shadows as well but I still want to try BECCA’s Eye Tints. Do you have any? How would you compare these two?

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
