Eyeshadow Sticks

Eyeshadow sticks have a creamy consistency, and you can find them most often in a classic pencil format or a twist-up stick similar to lipstick. They are easy to apply and are perfect even for beginners.

Applying eyeshadow sticks

The biggest advantages of the eye shadow pencil are the simplicity and speed of application. While classic powder eyeshadows require both practice and patience, pencil eyeshadow can give you beautiful makeup in minutes. And how is it done?

1. Draw across the eyelids with the eyeshadow stick roughly where you want the colour to be.
2. Tap and gently blend it in with your finger or a foam applicator. The blurring effect is best achieved by using light movements from the lash line upwards.
3. You can finish it all off with mascara and maybe eyeliner as well. You’ve got beautiful-looking makeup, and it only took a couple of minutes!

If you think that the creamy consistency means the eyeshadow will settle into creases, you’re mistaken. Nowadays, you can find eyeshadow sticks with a long-lasting effect, and they can also be great for mature skin. If you want to ensure that it lasts, use an eyeshadow primer before applying it.

Benefits of eyeshadow sticks

Since all you need for flawless application is your finger, pencil eyeshadow is the perfect travel companion. They’re also compact and, unlike powder eyeshadow, an eyeshadow stick can’t shatter and spill.

Cream eyeshadow sticks are also great if you’re in a hurry in the morning – you can get your eye makeup done in no time, and it can easily be done on the train or in a parked car.

Finally, don’t forget the versatility of eyeshadow pens. Pink shades can also be used as blusher and the right shade of brown can work as a bronzer stick!
