The New Rouge Bunny Rouge Silk Aether Long-lasting Duo Cream Eye Shadow

What's better than having one of RBR bestselling cream eye shadow shades, well two of course, and so we have the new Silk Aether Long-lasting Duo Cream Eye Shadow.

The duo is called Gossamer Wing and it contains Atlas Swallowtail (nude taupe) and Brocade Skipper (beige/champagne). The finish is semi-matte, yet slightly luminous so that they don't look flat.
Swatched below then blended,


These are my two favourite shades from the cream line up, ones I've re-bought a few times and recently ran out of so it was rather fortuitous when RBR sent me this duo to try.

The shadows work a a primer or lid colour, providing a sheer wash of colour or built up to be more opaque.
Shown below applied sheerly with no primer and this is after about 7 hours wear,
 
 
The duo has doe foot applicators for easy application. It has a creamy yet lightweight texture that applies smoothly and evenly. I do not find these drying and love that they do not go on patchy and the edges blend out seamlessly.
 
 
The wear time is really good, I can get around 7 hours (with no primer) with just minimal fade and no creasing.
There's everything to like about this product, the colours look very natural and are great for that nude yet defined looked. They apply effortlessly and have a lasting wear that you can trust and the actual design is great for travelling. I think whats also worth noting is that unlike a lot of  cream shadows on the market these are especially forgiving on older lids where lines/folds are an issue.

      Its really great for that effortless nude eye look, I think the lighter shade might work as a base shade on your skintone.

    My eyes don't always like cream formulations, but this looks so practical and tempting...

      Mine either, some creams feel really tight so this is a pleasure to use. I took this duo on holiday and it was all I used for eyeshadow, very handy.

    This looks so interesting. I love RBR and cream shadows so perhaps a match made in heaven?!

    I forgot about my creams from RBR so I need to get them out and remind myself how much I liked them. I'm so happy to see a review and the colors swatched.
