about-face Shadowstick

I ordered quite a few of these when they went on sale including: lotus leaf, acidic, aliens r real, mimosa, baroque, chaos theory, and ambrosia. The colors are beautiful but I don't find the lasting power worth it. They feel heavy and thick (almost waxy) on the lids once applied and crease after a couple hours of wear with my trusted Urban Decay primer. I also tried using concealer and the results were similar to the primer. A creasey, unflattering look. It's disappointing since I love the colors so much and would create some really fun eye looks using my most colorful eyeshadow palettes that do best with a colored base, such as these. My Bobbie Brown and Lauren Mercier eyeshadow sticks will continue to be my heavy hitters for longevity, although they have much more reserved colors in comparison. Hopefully these are all reformulated one day so they can survive an 8-9 hour work day.

I was looking for something to put on my waterline that wouldn't smudge and would study in place all day despite my watery eyes and this is it! Lasts all day too

Yall. I have the oiliest eyelids. Most eyeshadows crease and melt off even with bougie eyeshadow primers. I've been using these for about a week and have had zero loss. I put them on before work and when i come home 9 hours later they are still the same as the morning application. I tried without a primer and they still stayed. Idk what Halsey did but these are amazing and i need them to make many more shades!

I love these eye pencils and will be buying more. I bought four colors - acidic, kill the lights, creature, and the butterfly collective. LASTING POWER - Long lasting and waterproof. I let swatches sit on my hand for one minute and then tested their durability against water, miceller water, and an oil makeup remover. Only a couple of the shades budged with the water when I scrubbed them hard, but not enough to be very noticeable. I'd still consider these waterproof. As for the miceller water, I was able to remove them but it took a bit of scrubbing, which might irritate your skin. The oil makeup remover did the best, it came off very easily and quickly. (I used pure sunflower seed oil for this, I'm sure other face safe oils would work just as well.) PACKAGING + PRODUCT - I love the sharpeners on the end of the sticks! The formula is easy to smudge or blend, as long as you do it fairly fast, because once it's dry, there's no blending it. That being said, it gives you enough time to blend/smudge before drying. The colors and finishes available are so fun to play with. I love the pearly finish. Overall I highly recommend these eyeshadow/eyeliner sticks! No complaints!

I honestly prefer this stick to my others (bobbi, mercier, clinique, ilia). Its super blendable without being too creamy and messy, and it doesnt go anywhere once i set it. I just wish they had more colors, and more neutral colors! I would buy so many
