MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Cream.

Summer time means I am using a lot of waterproof and water resistant products. Some are great and I highlight them here. Many are sub-par, especially when it comes to eye shadows. I find that many of the waterproof shadows don't last without starting to cake or crease throughout the day. Such is NOT the case with these new creamy beauties from MAKE UP FOR EVER.
