Born Star Cream-to-Powder Long-Wear Eyeshadow
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Marc Jacobs Beauty Born Star Cream-to-Powder Long-Wear Eyeshadow in Shady is a slick, silky formula that blends effortlessly and gives a glowy, seamless finish on dry eyelids, according to former professional wedding makeup artist Morgan Turner. However, professional makeup artist Julia Adams MUA reports creasing and tackiness over time, and Morgan Turner notes that those with oily eyelids may not get lasting wear.
