Really good shadow sticks!

First, I LOVE the convenience of a shadow stick, and I have many in my collection from many brands, higher end and drugstore. These would rank in the really good category. Not my absolute favorite formula, but really good. I have the shades Actual Ambrosia and Lotus Leaf. The shade Actual Ambrosia i...s GORGEOUS. It's a cooler toned shimmery taupe but doesn't run too grey. It looks best when barely smudged/blended out. Once you start blending, it loses some of the shimmery finish. You can build it up slightly, and it doesn't pick up on itself or go gummy. Lol, I know that sounds weird but I've tried some that don't layer well and feel sticky when layered up. The shade Lotus Leaf is also pretty. It's more of a pearly finish rather than shimmer, so more subtle. as a single wash of barely there color on minimal makeup days. I like this on days I wear only tinted moisturizer, mascara, and lipgloss. It gives your eyes a bright and fresh look that appears effortless. I've used it in other ways and it's fine, like inner corner highlight or just on my lids with other shadows in crease, but I like it best solo. I find both shades last 12+ hours with no fading or creasing, and no glitter fallout on my face if I touch my eyes. These are solid 4 ⭐️
