Makeup Faves: Cream Eye Shadow Sticks

Hello Fashionistas! I have been in love with cream eye shadow sticks! I wear one almost everyday under my powder eye shadow to brighten the color. I have many different brands and each has pros and cons.


 My most recent purchase was a MAC Shadestick in cakeshop! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! I wore it under a sparkly eyeshadow and it stopped fallout of the glitter, and really made the color pop. I wore this all day and did not notice any creasing! It was awesome, because I do have oily lids and I almost always have creasing at the end of the day. The main drawback to this product is the price. It is pretty expensive and can only be bought at MAC stores, counters, or online. And for me I do not have any stores, or counters within a reasonable distance so I have to buy online without testing the colors. Another drawback to this product is that there are only two colors in the permanent collection. I think they release some in their collections but they can be difficult to find.


I also have several Urban Decay 24/7 glide on shadow pencils. I like these, their color selection is nice. I like the more neutral colors but they also have some beautiful bright colors. I got a set of 5 or 6 on sale from the website but you can also buy them from Ulta and Sephora. I did notice some creasing after wearing them all day which I expected.


The NYX jumbo eye pencils may have the largest selection of colors. I have about 10, and I love the color payoff. They are very inexpensive as well. They are very creamy and glide on very well.  The main problem I have with these are that they crease easily! I still wear them often but I need to put a eye primer on first. I have only seen them at Ulta or NYX online. 


Wet and Wild also has a cream shadow pencil. I love this product as well. It is very creamy and pigmented. I really love the price, and how easy they are to find. Most drugstores, and discount stores carry the brand. Just like the past two I did notice some creasing after wearing it all day. But for the price and how easily it is to find I will continue to use them. The color selection is moderate. I love pixie which is their only neutral shade, but the colors are also very beautiful. 


I hope this helped you, I know I am obsessed with these cream sticks and many of you probably are too. Leave me some comments about your favorite brands and colors!


Peace & Love
