These are bloody amazing. You get a double ended eyeshadow stick, one side is like pure, chunky glitter, and the other side is a metallic cream. As you can see from the swatches, they're extremely pigmented. The different formulas can be worn alone, but because the shades correspond they look beautiful layered also. The wear time is impressive, too! They stay punchy and pigmented all day long.
Bobbi Brown Longer Cream Shadow Stick
These are my favourite, especially the matte formula (although I only have one, Taupe). These perform amazingly, the texture is so smooth and so buttery, they are the most easy to blend, and the pigment packs the most punch. I need more of these in my collection.
Rosie for Autograph Cream Eyeshadow Stick
These are amazing! They're so pigmented, so creamy, blend like a dream and have a really beautiful shimmer that lasts all day long. However, you do have to use an eyeshadow primer to get this one to stick - but once they do, they're not going anywhere. Trust me.
Eyeko Fat Eye Stick
These have a really nice glossy sheen to them rather than a shimmer, so they're nice for creating a natural look.
Revlon Photo Ready Eye Art
These are like 'dupes' for the Touch in Sol shadows, and they're good. Certainly not the same thing, but they're good. Especially the cream side, they're so smooth and so pigmented! A little thicker than the Touch in Sol alternative so they're heavier, and are prone to bunching up a little after several hours of wear (but I mean like 7 or 8 hours, not just 1 or 2). The glitter side also isn't chunky glitter, its like glitter in liquid, so you get a wash of glitter. They remind me a bit of those glitter glue pens you got when you were little. Still really pretty, but not the same thing and I personally prefer the bold chunky glitter. Highly recommend these as something similar if you're on a budget though.
Chanel Stylo Eyeshadow
These are beautiful and pigmented, but surprisingly not my favourite. They're nice, but compared with the rest of my stash, they're not my favourite! They're a little greasy and harder to blend - although this is only noticeable in comparison to my other eyeshadow sticks.
Nars Soft Touch Shadow Pencil
These are my least favourite, but they do have their uses. They have more of a dry, waxy consistency than the others, so they're harder to blend and they also drag on the eye lid rather than glide. But the shades look really pretty once they're applied.
I especially love Empire for smudging out and creating a dirty, messy smokey eye. Nars also carry a different formula of eyeshadow stick, their Velvet Shadow Sticks - which I think is quite telling (a replacement, perhaps?).
Are you a fan of the eyeshadow stick as well? What are your faves?

I like Taupe from Bobby Brown and basically everything by Touch in Sol. However, I have maybe 1 or 2 eyeshadows like this and I just can't seem to work with them. I'm used to powders so much. Although I get it these are probably easier to use and look great with minimal effort, I'm not drawn to them as much. :)

ReplyDeleteeyeshadow sticks is an artform you get better with over time and their quick use saves plenty of time if applied well.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I don’t like eyeshadow sticks as I end up looking like a panda and it always wears off in the crease of my eyelid. Unless I’m doing something wrong - kali Filsell
ReplyDeleteNot sure....
ReplyDeleteI’ve not tried any of these! So good to read your reviews! :) xxxx
ReplyDeleteI have never really ventured into eyeshadows sticks but I've got a few from Bobbi Brown which I've received in Christmas presents and such. I should really dig them out and give them another go, I might fall in love with them!

yes I do like them, I think Avon are quite good, I like a good bronze colour against my blue eyes
ReplyDeleteI feel like a child in a sweet shop looking at all these. I love Bobbi Brown. I also use YSL, Charlotte Tilbury, Mii and Jane Iredale make up
ReplyDeleteChanel 127 is so beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not very confident with eye-shadows. I'm scared to look like a panda, but I would like to give these a try.
ReplyDeleteI don't really get on with stick/pencil eyeshadows. I find them quite aging, like they show every little crease, and I find them hard to blend.
ReplyDeletesome really gorgeous colours
ReplyDeleteEyeshadow is my favourite thing, I’m constantly buying new palettes to try out and I LOVE experimenting with different colours. The Rosie for autograph ones look so pretty! I definitely love that brand! X
