This Models Own Colour Chrome Cream eyeshadow palette was a bit of a surprise - most budget cream metallic eyeshadows are oily, slick, a bit sheer. This one, however, isn't. The cream shadows are, well, creamy - easy to blend, they set down into a slightly tactile powder finish which glows with metallic pigment. And glitter, if you're looking at the silver shades.
Best of all, a thin layer doesn't crease immediately when applied over primer on my oily lids. If I try to build them up to full intensity, they crease after a few minutes, but applied lightly, you still get a soft metallic finish (which, incidentally, is a great base for powder shadow) and a slightly sheerer colour. On those with drier lids, these should work brilliantly. I also love the second-from-the-left silvery white for highlighting brow bones and cheekbones, used very sparingly (you don't want robot face, after all).
At a mere £5.99 from Superdrug, this little sturdy palette of metallic goodness is definitely worth investigating. Just bin the sponge applicator and use your ring finger, or a stiff bristled synthetic brush, for best effect.
