My eyelids are a little bit crepey so I thought cream eyeshadows would be more moisturizing. Then I read that creams are a no no for wrinkly eyelids because they're drying. I figured the powders would be worse.

What have you heard?

I dont think it matters if its cream or powder as formula's can vary so much. What I think makes the difference is not wearing shadows with shimmer in them. I think a satin or semi-matte finish is best for these lids.

I agree that shimmery powders can accentuate wrinkles or crepy skin. Less is more, so using less eyeshadow will not accentuate wrinkles.

Thank you both! As long as neither one is drying, I'm fine with either. Wink

Creams are easy to apply, sheer out, and blend, but the downside is that they have a tendency to crease easily. I find that primer is a must when using cream shadows.

I prefer powder eyeshadow. I find the cream ones tend to accumulate into the crease of my eye and I end up with a thick line of shadow in the middle of my eye. Never thought of trying a primer first.
