Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick Reviews

I love my golden glow stick. Initially I was skeptical how this particular shade would look on my olive skintone but was blown when I learn more ways to use it.

The shadow sticks are pretty easy to use and creamy formula glides like a dream. Without any patchy look, it applies smoothly and while it is really good at staying on, it isn't too hard to blend in either. I use it as light everyday eyeshadow just to add a touch of glimmer but also often as a highlighter and sometimes even as a base before applying another shade to make it last longer. This particular shade works so well as a highlighter that even when I am using another illumination product, I like to pop this in my bag for touch ups.

My review is for the Bobbi Brown Cream Shadow Stick in Golden Pink. The product is a crayon that you twist up and down. Golden Pink is a pale shimmery gold with a warm undertone. Golden Pink has a semi-sheer formula and it required a few layers to build it to an opaque finish. The shadow stick was easy to blend on my mature skin.

Golden Pink works well as a highlight in the centre of the mobile lid or in the inner corners of the eye area. Golden Pink is also great when applied all over the mobile lid for a quick eye makeup look.

I have hooded eyes, so it is not unusual for some cream eyeshadows to crease, but I’ve never had a cream eyeshadow disappear as quickly as Golden Pink (I do not have oily eyelids). When I wore Golden Pink without an eye primer, half of it disappeared within minutes after I had applied it. When I tried Golden Pink with an eye primer, it still disappeared quickly. I then tried applying Golden Pink over a concealer, and this gave better results, but the shadow stick still did not last long. I have a feeling that Golden Pink would work better over a product such as a MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot, but I don’t have a product like this in my current makeup collection.

The shadow stick has a creamy and soft formula - it was so soft that it broke the second time that I used it. After the shadow stick broke, I managed to get a few more uses out of it before I had to discard it. I cannot blame heat for the shadow stick breaking because I had stored it out of direct sunlight.

This 'Golden Pink' shade is what I'd call a shimmer shade as it reflects a lot of light. It looks great used on my inner corner of the my eyelids but younger women could use this any way they would like. I find that if I apply it lightly I can use it as an under-brow highlighter too. The high quality metallic light golden pink shimmer is very pretty!! It has excellent staying power.

It's easy to apply in the inner corners of my eyelid because it's a wind-up stick form of eye makeup. Super easy! It blends beautifully with the other colours in this Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick range. I love wearing it with Sand Dune as the main base colour.

I have this is Golden Pink and it's just a gorgeous shimmery rose gold that would suit all skin tones.
The stick is so simple to use, you can apply it straight onto the lids or use a finger or brush. I love how compact and convenient it is to store or carry around.
It applies so smoothly with no dragging, but isn't slippery or greasy. It also blends easily.
The colour is very pigmented so you don't need a powder eyeshadow on top, but I do like to apply some, and it makes the colour pop more and last all day. My eyeshadows always fade away in a few blinks of the eye, but this shadow stick lasts all day and works brilliantly as an eye shadow primer.
This is just a wonderful eye shadow and I will definitely check out the other colours. Highly recommended!

I love that these are full of healthy ingredients as well as perfect for longwear colour on the eyes. For a subtle base colour I like to use 'Sand Dune' all over the eyelid. Using a eyeshadow primer helps to deepen the colour slightly and have even more staying power! The colour really stays on very well though, even without a primer. When I use Sand Dune like this as a all-over base colour, it perfectly picks up the golden flecks in my eyes.

I like to use the colour 'Bark' for a smudgey eyeliner just in the outer corners on my lower lashline. I love how where I put the colour it stays put!

These cream shadow sticks go on like a dream - the perfect amount is placed onto the lid and it always just looks wonderful! I find there is no mucking around with these - they look fantastic and I'm certainly no expert at applying make-up!
