The hourglass stick is shade dependent on pigmentation. I have the olive color and very hooded eyes and live in hot humid conditions. I have to use a thin layer applied with finger but it’s worked out pretty good. BB I tend to use as a color base for glitter because I believe in the healing power of glitter 😂🎉 inner corner is great also consider the lower waterline. The sticks are very convenient and quick for late days.

My favorite eyeshadow sticks are the Victoria Beckham. I love the colors and I’ve never had trouble with them blending. I do remember they didn’t work well for you! It made me sad! But luckily you have lots more to choose from!! I also really love the Bobbi Brown, and About Face has great ones too at about 1/2 the price. Laura Mercier sticks irritate my eyes. I’ve never liked how they blend anyway. I’ve never tried the NARS, but you’ve peaked my interest! I’ve always wanted to try the KVD Dazzle Sticks! I never have, though! I love this lipstick on you!! 🤩

I absolutely love the KvD sticks! I’ve only tried Flash storm, but plan to pick up more whenever it’s on sale. I also bought the Colour Chameleon in Amythest Aphrodisiac on a whim just because it’s purple and it was on sale. I think that I need to try the one from By Terry - it looked stunning! For a budget alternative I’ve tried the ones from Kiko Milano but they are not great for hooded eyes - but they have some stunning shades! Great video! 💕

Oh my fair lady, you look SO good with that red lipstick!!! I really only have KIKO eyeshadow sticks (a ton because I love them) but sadly I don't think KIKO is easy to find outside of Europe. Next time I send you something, I will send a KIKO one for you to try. They are bomb and so inexpensive!

I think for me the best sticks are bobbi brown. But I also like the shimmers from byterry. For matte I also like vieve and sigma

I have hooded, oily eyelids but I do have four Laura Mercier sticks. I do find them emollient but it’s remedied with a primer and setting powder, that I usually use anyway. I will look into your suggestions though!

I couldn’t 👍 this. I’ll try again later. Great review! I actually like the VB sticks but I only use it under my lower lashes and a bit on my upper lid. I only have two of them though. I really like the Girlactik (sp) formula and I use the Sigma eye primer as a shadow stick sometimes. I like the Hourglass Sticks as well.

I agree with you on the CT Colour Chameleon sticks. They are pretty budgeproof and I find them great to use as a liner on my top lashline, as opposed to her Cream Shadow pots which I find to be a creasy mess. I haven't found that many cream stick shadows last on me, but I haven't tried Fenty. I have a lot of Laura Mercier and I generally use them as a base with powders over the top. The Mecca Max sticks are just as good as the Laura Mercier as well, for much cheaper.

Agree with you on the CT Colour Chameleon sticks but I mainly use them as eyeliner & they don't budge. I also love the Nudestix crayons which also set down.

I really like the Vieve eyeshadow sticks too! I don’t know what happened to the shimmer shades, they’re no longer available. I saw some comments complaining about them and I don’t know why people would complain about them.

Thank you for nice and informative video! About the cream shadows: I have very good experience with Bourjois Color Edition 24H one. I don´t know if it was reformulated, but I almost used it up. I would prefer it to be more matte though. Except of that I own one old Dior cream shadow - I paid a lot of money for it and it creased immediately.

Hello I love cream stick eyeshadows. I wore By Terry's "Bronze Moon" for a long time but my favorite color remains the "Misty Rock" from the same brand. On the other hand, I had the Charlotte Tilbury "Black Pearl" pencil but mine dried very quickly and was unusable after a while. Thank you for sharing🥰🥰🥰

Thank you! I was wondering about those; Kiko stores are very common where I live, so they're probably the easiest for me to get my hands on to try (not to mention the cheapest). I don't want to buy them just because they're cheaper and then throw them out though, so nice to know!

Would you consider including Byredo's Dravite eyestick in a future review? It seems to have some complexity to it that reminds me of some of the pencils you reviewed today. Also, if you do a similar type video for eyeshadow pots, would you be able to add Trinny London products to your content? I don't hear much about this product line and would benefit from your feedback. Thank you!

I tried a trio of the Bobbi Brown eyeshadow sticks and did not care for any of the shades. Not enough color, plus they irritated my eyes; I had to give them away. I am not a fan of cream shadows, but I bought a Kulfi cream shadow in a chartreuse color, and that is very nice.

Wow that Hourglass eyeshadow stick lasted forever on me and I have super super oily lids. FYI Kat Von D released new shades her in eye shadow stick you might like. Love this video. One and done eye shadow sticks and cream eye shadow is non negotiable for me as a base with my oily lids. I thank you and your eyelids for doing eye swatches and review.
