Try the best stick eyeshadows for beautiful & long-lasting wear
We’re not finished with the pros yet: most eyeshadow sticks are very long-lasting, requiring no touch-ups throughout the day. They’re also incredibly versatile, as you may wear them not only as eyeshadows but also as soft, more error-proof lash liners. You may pack the color for a fully pigmented look, or apply just a wash of color for a soft effect. The same product allows for all kinds of looks—and you get to decide which one you feel like every day.
