I have only tried two of these lid tints before: Mon Amour and Revel. The texture of both of these is the same: an easy-to-spread mousse. I like that these don't set immediately after they are applied, which makes it quite easy to blend these out. Usually, I'll apply this to my eyes with the applicator one eye at a time and spread it using my finger on the upper eyelid and a small domed brush on the lower eyelid. Longevity-wise, the Lid Lingeries do fade a little during the day when I don't use primer, but it's an acceptable amount of fading for me, as I usually use them for quite simple looks. However, if I want them to last all day, I need a primer. I have non-hooded eyes, normal skin on my eyelids, and this shadow doesn't really crease on me during the day when not wearing a primer that's good! I haven't tried that many cream shadows, but the ones that I can compare the Lid Lingeries to are the Rouge Bunny Rouge Long Lasting Cream Eyeshadows they are about the same in both consistency and wear time. However, the NYX cream eyeshadow is quite much easier to remove it comes off with almost any kind of soap and waterThe reason I give this 3 lippies is the color. It is a beigy nude, which wanted to be only slightly darker than my skin tone, and to cancel out any blotchiness on my eyelids. I expected this to be more of a nude on me, but it translates, on my NC20 neutral olive skin as an orangy-pinky nude, with a slight greige undertone. I don't think I look good with ANYTHING pale orange or pink on my eyes it doesn't go well with my skin tone and my brown eyes. The color isn't really that different from what you see through the packaging, but this subtle color change makes this eyeshadow look bad on me, IMO.I would recommend this shadow it is good quality and easy to work with. However, this particular color is not for me, although I can imagine people ho don't have a problem with orange or pink hues would love this
