The cream type has a lovely pearl finish, and I really like the formula, so I use it often. It's great for applying to the apples of the cheeks, and it also works well as a highlighter substitute!
Cons
it's all good, but the ingredients are just too poor. that's why i can't recommend it ㅠ

This is Precious Metal Color by Jeon. Except for the first color, the color composition is subtle. If you go to YouTube, you can find a good makeup tutorial by Jung Saem-mool using her cream eyeshadow, and the color composition is quite nice. The compact and sturdy case is also good for carrying around. The third color is especially beautiful when applied to the legs and collarbones, giving a lovely glow.
Cons
I bought this product without knowing the ingredients. I have no intention of repurchasing due to the ingredients. But I'll use it up, I won't throw it away because the color is so pretty. Doesn't everyone have one of these in their makeup pouch? I can't say I'm satisfied with the functionality, and the ingredients are... I don't think I could bring myself to recommend this product, but even if I could turn back time, I think I would have still bought it. I'm using it so much that I can't help myself.
Tip
Cream eyeshadows can be tricky for beginners. But if you follow a few tips, they're easy to use! 1. Don't apply too much, or it will crease horribly. 2. Use eyeliner after the eyeshadow has set a bit, otherwise the eyeliner will smudge and come off easily. 3. Using the same powder eyeshadow on top will increase the longevity, but you'll lose the unique glow and texture of the cream. I recommend building it up slowly, layer by layer, and waiting for it to dry. 4. For busy morning commuters, just do a quick base and then search YouTube for Jung Saem-mool's cream eyeshadow tutorial. Without eyeliner, you can achieve a subtle, shadowy eye makeup look in no time. And the best part is, the cream eyeshadow + no eyeliner combo makes touch-ups super easy.

The mirror makes it convenient to apply makeup. I liked that it only contains colors suitable for daily makeup.
Cons
To be honest, I didn't know the ingredients were this bad. I should have checked and used something else... And the fragrance is really unpleasant, like the smell of burning plastic? That unique cheap cosmetics scent is quite strong here.
Tip
To be honest, I only end up using the mirror.

Haha, I just noticed the ingredients! But what can you do, right? Most of the others are like that too. But this cream shadow is still great value for money, and the pearly ivory color is perfect as a highlighter. As a sensitive skin type, I find that the eye cream doesn't irritate much. I used to draw thick eyeliner, but now I use this product to create a nice gradient effect. The lasting power is a bit weak, but the pearl particles are not too big, so it looks natural. I'm a warm-toned person, and the color suits me well. It's less noticeable on the eyes and hardly ever smears, so I really like it. Oh, and I bought this overseas, so that's probably why this review is different from the social media ones. If you buy it on social media, the price should be similar to the overseas version. In summary: - Fine pearl particles for a natural glow - Smooth application - Excellent color payoff and value - Suitable for warm-toned skin - Great as a highlighter, the pearly ivory shade is also very natural-looking The case is quite durable, so it doesn't break even if you drop it or use it a lot.
Cons
But even though I liked it, I recently bought a new long-lasting pencil-type eyeshadow. I had almost used up the previous one, and it's really hard to remove, which is great because I don't have to correct it as often. This product, however, tends to settle into the creases of my eyelids if I don't touch it up frequently.
Tip
I layered a waterproof eyeshadow pencil from another brand as the base, then applied the deep color from the Revlon one on top. I lightly tapped the center of my eyelids with a peachy-golden shade, and the lasting power increased significantly. It looks great! Buy it on social media! Fighting, our existence!

I have the 'Not Just Nude' color. I bought it a few years ago after seeing it used a lot on blogs and YouTube. It's my holy grail eyeshadow! I mainly buy brown-toned eyeshadows, and this one gets used the most. It never fails me when I apply it to my eyes. It can be used for a natural, fresh look all the way to a bold, defined smoky eye. Even for someone like me who doesn't usually suit eye makeup, this gives a subtle yet beautiful color payoff. Out of all the eyeshadows I own, this one looks the most high-end and pretty when applied. I'll definitely repurchase it once I've used it up.
Cons
The ingredients! Oh no! It seems hard to find places that sell this product.

Easy to apply with a fingertip, convenient daily color palette, and purchased inexpensively in the US. Also used as a substitute for eye primer.
Cons
I've been using this product since before the Hwahae app came out, but I'm shocked after seeing the ingredients.. Looks like I'll have to just throw away what's left. Goodbye.

The color composition was good, with a simple daily-highlighter setup that I liked. I've always thought it was a waste of money for palettes to include both very bright and very dark shades, but this palette is mostly mid-tones, so there are no unusable colors. From left to right: The first is a peach color, a base cream shadow with almost no matte pearls. The pigmentation is slightly brighter than it appears. The second has a pink base and a golden pearl. It's similar to the Etude House Rose Gold Scarf, but the cream shadow has smaller pearls and a stronger pink tone. Either way, it's pretty. The third looks yellow at first glance, but when swatched, it's a silvery pearl highlighter. Lastly, there's a low-chroma, reddish-free brown with a shimmer finish. This one has amazing pigmentation. The ratio of gold pearl to silver pearl is about 2:1.
Cons
The ingredient list includes a middle-of-the-road amount of preservatives, with a whopping five types of parabens and even phenoxyethanol added. It even has a bit of a Daiso smell when you open it. I'm becoming a connoisseur of identifying preservatives just by smell alone! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ There's also the allergen BHT included. That's just how foreign cream shadows are, I guess... ㅜㅜ This one has a tendency to clump up a bit when blending. Made in the USA, 3.4g
Tip
The case photo is not upside-down! The shadows are actually attached to the packaging in reverse. Normally the mirror is on the bottom when you open the lid, but here the shadows are.
