Tester says: "I liked that this shadow wasn't too matte; it had a really nice shimmer. I loved the colours, they were very earthy and warm -- perfect for my olive complexion. It created a neutral look. The shadow lasted for the majority of the day and didn't crease, which was great! I would buy this product again."

8. Quo Eye Shadow Trio (Florentine Pathway), $15Tester says: "I found the powder was easy to apply and used all three colours with each use. The colours were very subtle, which encouraged me to use them first thing in the morning. I found the eye shadow stayed on very well and it didn't ever crease. These colours are great and are a good combination to have in one box. This shadow compared very well to my other regular ones and I would buy this product again."
Available at Shoppers Drug Mart
9. Revlon Molten Metal Liquid Shadow (Scene Steel-er), $15.50Tester says: "I love the staying power of this eyeshadow. I've worn it on hot summer days of 30C or more and it stays put, with little – and sometimes no – creasing. For a product that clings to skin so well, it's surprising to see it wash away effortlessly with just water. And I love the colour – it's a shimmering grey that works well as a neutral shade, complementing different colours. I would definitely buy this product again. In fact, I recently went to the drugstore to check out other Molten Metal shades."

10. Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner (Birthday Suit), $20Tester says: "Normal powder shadow disappears within a few hours on my oily lids. This cream stayed on all day – and it didn't crease. The bit of shimmer in the product bleeds nicely into the corners of my eyes and highlights them – it looks like I did it on purpose. It's a nice neutral colour. My other favourite products have been demoted – this one has the shimmer I like and the lasting power I need. It has outperformed all my other shadows."

11. Chanel Ombre d'Eau, Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow (Fountain), $37Tester says: "This is a very sheer colour that blends well on the lids. It looks much more sheer on than it does in the bottle. It lasted a long time – it just started to wear off late in the day, which is very unusual for me. It seems like once it is on your lids it stays put; it doesn't move around or crease too much. This shadow comes in a cute little container – it looks like a mini lip gloss. You can apply it either with the sponge applicator it comes with, or with your fingers. I had never tried a liquid shadow before, but this experience made it great! I would definitely buy this product again."

12. Guerlain Divinora Radiant Colour Single Eyeshadow (Poudre d'or), $33
Tester says: "This shadow went on smoothly and blended beautifully with other colours. It has a really silky texture. The colour is light and sheer – perfect! It stayed on really well throughout the day and creased the least out of all my eye shadows. It comes with an applicator that worked well but it is small; I preferred to use my own brush. I would buy this product again."
Available at department stores across Canada and Guerlain boutiques
