How Are Your Shadow Sticks Holding Up

My shadow sticks are holding up. They are from previous kits that I have purchased. My problem is that many are just too dark. I even have a Shimmery Silver one. Never figured out what to do with that one. I would love a less expensive alternative. A drug store brand would be nice. Suggestions anyone.

jordan2 ~ thanks for this thread.

My older ones are great and when applied they last all day. I bought some in Nov. or Dec. in a set and I returned them as they did not seem to be the same quality.

I have several (some older, some newer) and have never had a problem with any of them. The tubes and caps are all fine.

If you find them too dark try applying them with a very light touch and using your finger to smooth them out. I can go lighter or darker with these, it's all in the application. Favorite shades are Saddle Shimmer, Taupe and there's a brown one I like that I can't remember the name of.

I haven't had any issues with them closing or breaking...sorry yours are not, jordan2

Mistic...mally does a look from her I love color palette with a shimmery silver on the lid, bronzy brown in the crease and under lashes, and liner in navy. maybe you could try the silver on your lid with some blues or charcoal grey? I bet if you emailed or fb, mally or her team could give you some suggestions.

I love these colors as they are not flat. shimmer (not glitter) really livens up my brown eyes. some of my faves are: sunlight, champagne, taupe, dusk, rosy taupe, firework, saddle shimmer, and basic brown to line my lower lashline. I also have purple rain, shimmering lilac, gunmetal, plum (maybe a few more, lol). I want to get antique taupe (I think that's the name), topaz, angel shimmer, twilight, and camo (to name a few!)... I also have my eye on the special edition eye-amplifying set A236028...the swatched colors are GORGEOUS!

I haven't had any problems. I hope never do. I love them! I have two sets.

Still... if there is a drug store brand like Misic suggested, I'd like to know too.

I do a light hand and smudge on the darker colors too. They'll probably last forever that way, lol.

lovelylinda ~ Thanks for the tip on the silver. I will check it out.

I use the taupe for my everyday work look. It's not too dark at all.

I guess it's just me! I swear I don't throw them around and don't know why so many of them have cracks in them.

I love the Taupe, it's my go-to color, but I wish she would offer more colors without all the shimmer. I find I am liking a more matte look now.
