Fast and easy eye-makeup looks are my jam right now and I am not bothered that my eyeshadow palettes are collecting dust. Eyeshadow cream sticks have been my rescue for last minute zoom calls or to freshen up for a date-night after work. Sharing on the blog two splurge and save worthy eyeshadow sticks that make a complete eye look.
SPLURGE: Nudestix Nude Metallics For Eyes
Claiming to be waterproof and crease-proof, these fast drying cream sticks do the trick for my oily eyelids. They dry down very fast, so you need to blend immediately or your color is staying put. I use all three colors in this kit regularly and use one at a time all over the lid for pop of color. You can find these at Sephora for $25.
SAVE: COL-LAB Ultimate Eyes Cream Eye Color
Easy to apply and beautiful color range, these eyeshadow cream sticks are perfect for day-to-day wear. Not as long lasting as the Nudestix, but with a eyeshadow primer underneath, holds up well for an 8-hour work day. These do not dry down so well, and move across eyelid if not careful when setting with another eyeshadow or using a primer underneath. You can find these at Sally Beauty for under $8.
