Taupe
Smashbox Taupe Always On Cream EyeshadowSmashbox Taupe Always On Cream Eyeshadow ($22.00 for 0.34 oz.) is a light taupe-brown with muted, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture felt more velvety and silicone-heavy, which resulted in light pilling when I applied it more heavily. I had to be careful with how I applied it, how much I put on my lid, and I had to ensure I worked quicker with this shade to even it out. I found that if I tried to blend it out too late, it was more prone to pilling.
It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well (as long as I did this quickly!). This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours before creasing slightly on me.

Formula Overview
$22.00/0.34 oz. - $64.71 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "saturated color with a comfortable matte finish" that is long-wearing and won't crease. It has a thin, more velvety-cream consistency that was lightweight, spreadable, and tried down to a semi-flexible feel. It wasn't flexible in the sense that it could be continuously blended out after it had dried down, but it didn't feel as heavy or as clung-on to my lid, which I suspect was the result of the thinness of the product paired with its more powder-like finish.
The dry down was fast, so it didn't settle into my fine lines or creases as it dried down, but I felt like I had a decent amount of time to apply, blend, and diffuse the product as long as I worked one eye at a time. Once the formula dried down, it was more locked on and felt a lot drier to the touch, so I would not recommend fussing with it much once it sets as it could lead to the product lifting away.
Most shades were opaque, while some were opaque but had a tendency to sheer to more semi-opaque coverage and had to be built up in places. They tended to wear between eight and eight and a half hours before creasing a bit on me. I had higher hopes for wear, as I'm a huge fan of the brand's 24HR primer, but they definitely started to crease on me at an average-length of time (powder eyeshadows tend to last between seven and eight hours on me). If I wore them as a base, they lasted better--10 hours or so--or if I wore them more sheered out, it added a half hour to an hour of better wear.

Greige
Smashbox Greige Always On Cream EyeshadowSmashbox Greige Always On Cream Eyeshadow ($22.00 for 0.34 oz.) is a medium taupe-brown with a grayer tone when applied at higher coverage and warmer tone when applied as a semi-sheer wash of color. The texture felt lightweight, spreadable, and velvety with a thinner, more glide-like consistency that was quick to set and retained some flexibility afterward.
The eyeshadow had opaque color coverage in a single layer, which could be blended out and diffused for a sheerer wash of color if preferred. The product applied evenly and was easy to work with, and it lasted well for eight and a half hours before creasing a bit.

Rose
Smashbox Rose Always On Cream EyeshadowSmashbox Rose Always On Cream Eyeshadow ($22.00 for 0.34 oz.) is a soft, pinky-coral with muted, warm undertones and a matte finish. The cream eyeshadow intense pigmentation in one layer, which could be diffused quickly for a more semi-sheer to medium-coverage wash of color.
The formula dried down fairly quickly, though there was some play time, but it was important to work one eye at a time. I found that using brushes helped to extend the play time a bit (over fingertips). The texture felt velvety, thin and spreadable, but not to the point where it was runny. It set to a transfer-resistant finish that stopped being blendable once it dried down. This shade wore decently for eight and a half hours before creasing slightly.

Guava
Smashbox Guava Always On Cream EyeshadowSmashbox Guava Always On Cream Eyeshadow ($22.00 for 0.34 oz.) is a muted, medium copper with warm, reddish undertones and a matte finish. The color had a faded quality to it (which isn’t a pro nor a con, just a descriptor). It had rich color coverage in a single layer, which could be applied and diffused for more of a semi-sheer to medium wash of color if preferred.
The consistency was more velvety and primer-like, so while it was thin, it didn’t feel too wet nor was it runny to work with. This seemed to help the product apply evenly without losing all of its opacity, too. I’d recommend working one eye at a time as it dried down and set to a semi-flexible finish (so it didn’t feel too clingy) but no longer blended along the edges. It stayed on decently for eight and a half hours before creasing visibly.
