evpct Rose Gold Pearl Cream Eye Shadow Sticks Brightener Pencil for Women, Rose Gold Shimmer Silky Eyeshadow Applicator Stick Pen Waterproof, Blendable Crease-Proof Stick Eyeshadow Pearl Eye Makeup 83

Not a great product for the price, a great product period! I had several shadow sticks, from elf to Bobbi Brown, but they are shimmer/metallic formulas and I wanted to test whether a matte formula as an everyday look would shave some time off of my routine and eliminate the need for a primer. Was concerned about whether or not I’d be able to achieve the blend I desire with the deeper matte shade I prefer in my crease, but these blend so much better than the prior shadow sticks I owned which had a limited working time and you could always detect the line from where it was applied. The Stone Matte shade blends seamlessly on my fair complexion and an added benefit that I didn’t expect… no skipping on my mature and hooded lids! I can’t speak to how well it will work for you if you are hoping to use this only as it was always my intention to use this as a base, so the working time I appreciate (based on how I use it) may be an issue of it feeling sticky for others but a little translucent powder would be a quick fix. I sweep it across my entire lid, blend out the crease, then use a darker/lighter powder eyeshadow to contour the lid, a quick sweep of a similar color in the crease, and finish with my brow highlight blending into the crease blend. Might sound like a lot of work but it takes half the amount of time of powdered shadows on primed eyes, looks twice as good, and stays until I’m ready to remove it, seriously. I accidentally fell asleep after testing it out on only one eye for the first time (not advisable)- was shocked to wake up with it looking exactly as it did minutes after finishing application bc I’m a pillow smooshing, side sleeper. While it is a durable, long wearing formula (again, I set it with a touch of powder), it is easy to remove with an oil based makeup remover or coconut oil.I’ll be honest, these were intended as testers for experimenting with different application methods. I didn’t expect much, I just didn’t want to waste 20-30 dollars on a product that I wouldn’t know I wouldn’t use until after I tried it. I am super impressed with how these performed and don’t need to invest in a more high-priced option because these exceeded all hopes of a desirable outcome. The stone shade is exactly the color I wanted for my cool toned complexion and I bet it might double as a contour too- although I haven’t tried it…… yep, just did. If you are cool/fair and have difficulty finding contour that isn’t too warm, this would be great as a precision contour for nose and lips. It doesn’t blend as easily as a complexion product, of course, but it doesn’t disappear either so it’s perfect for the nose. Hopefully it doesn’t cause a breakout! Will update if an issue. For comparison it’s almost identical to the fair/light powder contour shades from Melt and Kaleidos, the Shady Lady putty bronzer and the Fair Camo liquid contour from e.l.f.

Glides on super smooth and stays on all day long! Does not clump up, easy to blend. Colors are very pretty but find myself only using 3 or 4 of the 8 just because some are just too bold for my taste/ skin tone.. I use the lightest color first and after it glides on I just use finger and tap my eyelids for it to set and use that as primer and then add colors accordingly. I use eyeliner, but do have to go over eyeliner couple times to get desired look. Great buy for the price! Highly recommend!

The first time I tried to use it, the color came completely out of the pencil and fell onto the ground. I tried to use the others and the colors were too light and faint for me. I have medium light skin, and unless your skin is really dark, do not expect this eye shadow to be very noticeable. Only the darkest of the 4 blue colors were able to show up. I will say, though, that I got a quick refund.

Great colors, easy to blend and nice variety.Goes on easy like cream but then becomes like powder. Lasts all day.

I’m in love with this color!!! The stick did break, but I did drop it sooo. Little super glue at the end and all is good! Great price!

I usually use Clinique until they stopped carrying blue. These are just as good for a fraction of the cost.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought because of the 4 star rating but guess I should have listened to the other reviews. Half of them are broken and can’t use. While they glide on well they do not stay put and end up creasing after even a short time of applying. I have sensitive eyes as well and irritated my eyes as well. I’m 40+ and they did not work for me at all

Beautiful shade ! Unfortunately 2 broke off inside the lid on day one. 4 stars for the colors. -1 for them breaking off so easily
