If you're a fan of Charlotte Tilbury’s Eyes To Mesmerise classic cream eyeshadows ($44 at Charlotte Tilbury) then boy, do we have great news for you. This range of matte-finish cream shadows contain the same rich pigment and buttery blendability. Personally, we’re coveting the shade ‘Chocolate Veil’ for its ability to be worn day or night with the mere swipe of a finger. Wear this long-lasting formula on its own or layer with a glitter eyeshadow to really make your eye look pop.
