HOW DO EYESHADOW STICKS WORK?

HOW DO EYESHADOW STICKS WORK?

It doesn’t matter what makeup trend you are following, it all comes down to the intensity of your eyeshadow color. Russell says that you can either apply the shadow stick directly to the eyelid to get more pigment, or swipe the colour onto your finger and then apply it to the eyelid to give it a sheer look.

Lomas prefers to use her eyeshadow sticks to «apply the cream on to a closed lid and draw it all over the lower lid until it reaches the socket line.» She continued, «After that I use a blender brush to soften it in the socket line and blend the colour seamlessly into my skin.»

WHERE DO YOU USE EYESHADOW STICKS

Russell says, «Placement matters.» You can choose a matte or smudged shade for soft definition depending on your texture. She says, «Any shimmering shade must be placed where the light will catch the eye and open it.»

Eyeshadow sticks can also be used to color the lower lashline, making them a useful beauty tip for makeup with hooded eyes.

HOW DO YOU BLEND EYESHADOW STICKS?

Although you don’t have to get your best makeup brushes for use with your pencils and crayons, it is a good idea to do so. Russell says that blending with a brush will always result in a seamless look. Cream shadow sticks are easy to use, and you can make mistakes. Even if you’re blending with your fingers, it’s just as easy to blend them with your fingers!

Lomas says that it is important to choose the right brush for the job. She says that it is important to choose the right texture brush for your eyeshadow blend. Choose something soft and fluffy.

3 OF MY FAVOURITE EYESHADOW STICKS

IT COSMETICS SUPERHERO NO -TUG STICK
The best gentle eyeshadow stick

IT Cosmetics’ makeup collection isn’t huge, but it’s perfectly formed. Superhero mascara is frequently praised as the best, and I am always raving over their cult-worthy CC cream.

This product is just like the rest. It’s extremely efficient and hardworking. It is designed to protect the delicate eyelids, which is one reason why we get wrinkles around our eyes. Tenacious Tawny was applied at 7 a.m. and still looked great when I left work 11 hours later. Impressive.

VIEVE EYE WAND
Neutral eyeshadows: Which are the best?

Influencers launching beauty products make me a little nervous. You can call it pessimism or jealousy for the mega-bucks paydays. But there is always an air of unease when someone launches a brand on a huge social media platform.

Vieve is unique because it was founded by Jamie Genevive, a real makeup artist (with a casual following of 1.3 million on Instagram). The concealer and makeup brushes have impressed me the most, but I also like the eyeshadow sticks. The texture is silky-soft, and blends like a dream with or without a mascara brush. They look great on the skin. Warm browns and beige are great choices for those with blue eyes.

STILA TRIFECTA METALLICA
The best metallic eyeshadows

Stila’s Magnificent Metals are one of my favourite cream eyeshadows. These pencils are my go-to for a pretty, everyday dose of glitter.

The staying power was what impressed me the most. I tried a few colors on my hand, and hours later the lines and color were still sharp. Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks have brilliant staying power and are long-lasting. These lipsticks can be very shimmery so they might not suit you. These eyeshadow sticks are perfect for those who want a high-impact, fuss-free glitter that won’t move.
