When I asked again if anyone wants to try “eye shadow with sunscreen,” I got four tentative Emoji responses, one of which was the “shrug” face. It was with skepticism that Cut staffers tested out Supergoop’s new Shimmershade Illuminating Cream Eyeshadow — the first eye shadow offering a claim of SPF 30.
I used the the darkest shade, and it left a nice subtle shimmer, the exact kind I want when I need to look slightly more alive but don’t want to do a whole eye look. I didn’t notice any creasing by the end of the day, so I do believe this would make a really good shadow primer, as the packaging suggests. I’ll definitely be relying on this for outdoor wedding season for smoky eyes and such, though I wouldn’t be mad if they decided to release it in a cleaner stick or doe-foot applicator form.
Jane Larkworthy, Beauty Editor-at-Large I never apply sunscreen to my eyelids, probably because I think it’ll irritate the delicate, poreless skin — or maybe I just never think about applying it there, the same way I never apply to the insides of my elbows or to my toes. Unscrewing the jar of Sunset, “Too gloppy” was my first thought. This was immediately followed by “Too dark for me,” so I dipped sparingly, then rubbed it over my eyelid. I was very pleasantly surprised.
I’ve had a lingering headache for a couple of days and went with the “Golden Hour” shade in hopes that it would make me look more awake and less tired. The color does a great job as a highlighter, bringing attention to your lids, but I don’t think I would wear this individually. It’s too subtle for me to wear it on its own. I would definitely use this to highlight the inner corners of my eyes or to add it on top of a colorful eye shadow.
