For the record, these sticks aren’t new, however Laura’s adding six spring shades to opt for the 12 shades currently in her long-term collection (here are swatches).
I desire I understood why it took me so long to notice these, as well as now I’m kicking myself in the butt for that…
It’s not that we haven’t seen shadow sticks before. At one point in time, MAC had something similar, the Shadesticks, that are now discontinued, as well as Bobbi brown just recently released something extremely similar for spring.
So, shadow sticks, what are they, exactly? Generally, they’re cream eyeshadows that are available in twist-up packaging.
You take one, draw directly on your skin, blend out the edges, as well as BAM! — you’re using eyeshadow.
Simple, as well as really, truly easy.

Wearing Sand glow on my eyes
Great idea, right? since you get to avoid the brushes as well as fallout, however here’s the deal: a lot of of the ones I’ve tried experience from one or a lot more problems. Either they’re hella chalky, or they vanish halfway with the day, or they crease like crazy, prompting my fine lines to hold up a indication that reads, “Hello, world!”
But not Laura’s. Laura’s cling to my lids for at least 8-9 hours, aren’t chalky as well as decline to have anything in any way to make with my fine lines.
Plus, they are eminently easy, to which you may be thinking, “Karen, you’re so predictable!” as well as you’d be right. however what can I say? I just truly appreciate products, especially eye makeup, that’s basic as well as easy.
On top of all that, Laura gets the volume on the shimmer just right…
Obvs, if you’re a makeup minimalist who firmly believes in never using a lot more than gloss as well as mascara, these do make up an additional step, however if you’ll routinely go a step additionally than that, by likewise doing your brows, using a single eyeshadow, concealer as well as lipstick, these might be a fantastic fit.
With 18 offered shades, there’s a great deal to select from, as well as I’ve been vascilating between three — one, Sand Glow, from Laura’s batch of six new colors, as well as Grey Pearl as well as Seashell from the previous 12.
I’m leaning toward Sand Glow…
Picture this: golden tan MAC Soba, however a lot more golden as well as shimmery, as well as with a cream shadow formula.
ICH KENNE!
Oh, however then there’s purplish taupe Grey Pearl. that a person may drive the cool-toned women wild, as well as it likewise reminds me of something I’ve seen from MAC, namely Shale, in a cream version.

Last, however not least, Seashell, a lemony gold. So schön! A dab at the inner corners of my eyes works like a quick nap.
