Crease-proof, waterproof eyeshadow stick

The color and shimmer of Toasty is beautiful! This eyeshadow stick is creamy and comfortable to apply. I have hooded eyes and didn't experience any tugging or discomfort during application. I have oily skin and hooded lids so I do typically get creasing with cream eyeshadows. When I applied this I b...lended out the edges and kept my eyes shut for a minute to let the eyeshadow set. It blends effortlessly. It dries down and sets quickly. I didn't experience any creasing or transfer of color once it set. It's very comfortable and velvety on my eyes. It is also waterproof and transfer-proof. I ran the swatch under water and it didn't budge. I also rubbed my finger over my lids and the eyeshadow didn't come off or smudge. Though the color is transfer-proof the glitter isn't. I did have some glitter transfer onto my finger but no loss of color and my eyeshadow didn't look any different so that isn't much of an issue for me. There was some slight glitter fallout under my eyes, which was less than I've experienced with other glitter eyeshadows, but it's worth noting. You may want to do the eyeshadow first and then clean up before you apply your foundation or concealer! One swipe gives excellent pigmentation without any patchiness. I like how versatile these eyeshadow sticks are. They are buildable, allowing for a subtle sparkly everyday look with one swipe or a more dramatic effect with an additional layer. You can also mix colors and use Toasty on the inner part of the lid and one of the darker eyeshadow sticks such as Sinnocent on the outer corner to add dimension and create a smokey going-out look. These eyeshadow sticks save so much time! You can take the sticks with you and create a quick look on the go or do touch-ups anywhere. Even though I typically use eyeshadow primer, I forgot to apply it the first time I tried these, and they still held up well. These sticks are the perfect size to apply all over or for a more precise application such as inner corners or brow bone highlight. In terms of comparison, on the "Your Go-To Shade" chart, Toasty is matched with Half Baked from the original palette. While they're not identical, they share a metallic sheen—Half Baked is more golden, while Toasty has warmer copper tones, with a bit more chunky glitter. Overall I loved these eyeshadow sticks. I'm deducting one star only because of the glitter fallout and the glitter not being completely transfer-proof. I'm planning to purchase Top Off for an inner corner and brow bone highlight and Tasteful for a sparkly smokey look next! [I received this product in exchange for my honest review]
