    I have been using this product in the shade Shell for about two years. I really like it as a highlighter, it sinks into my skin nicely instead of sitting on it and I love the shimmer it leaves on...

    This is the best cream highlighter out there as far as I am concerned, I have fair skin and this appears as a very subtle pink sheen on my skin, when used properly. I use a few dabs on my...

    I use this as an eyeshadow base when I am wearing brown or gold shadows. I find this works better than the paint pots to prevent creasing and make eyeshadow stay longer.

    I got shell about a year ago and used it quite often however whenever I used this as a highlighter my husband always commented that I had glitter on my face. That eventually put me off.

    I really like shell for several reasons. As i am of the 'pale and interesting' persuasion, (NC15) it can be difficult to get a highlighter right. This has just enough colour and gives a nice subtle...

    Gorgeous colour, but not for me. It's waaay to shimmery and bronze for my NC15-NW20 skin tone, isn't too great of an eyeshadow base and not the best lip colour. Would not repurchase or recommend.

    Creme color bases are my favorite Mac products after their lipsticks and this color is just gorgeous, I think on darker skin colors this might work better than luna or pearl....love!

    I love cream colour bases! They are sooo easy to apply (I use my fingers or a stiff brush). I use them instead of blush, as a base for blush or as highlighters. The colour Shell is my second...

    Cons first - I took one lippie off because of wear. Like some other oily skinned gals have commented, because it IS a cream, less is best! I find when I put it too close to my nose it accentuates...
