Cream-based eye shadows are easy to apply and blendable, thanks to their rich texture. You can use a brush, but it’s just as easy to swipe on your lids with your finger if you need to, making this a favorite for those of us too busy to bother with complicated eye looks.

These rich pigments are long-lasting and crease-free, and the best part is they keep your skin hydrated and glowing rather than smothering it beneath powder. We rounded up our favorite cream eye shadows that are guaranteed to give you smooth, perfectly blended application every time.
