@Midmod Shadow sticks are my favorite things.
Laura Mercier used to be the best ones out there, but the newer ones are not great. Too sheer & too creamy. The core line is probably still good, but I haven't bought a new one in a while.
I do love the Cocoa & Plum Caviar Sticks with an angled liner brush to line.
Thrive, Bobbi Brown, Fenty, Charlotte Tilbury, About Face, Nudestix (But they have to be sharpened) are great!
I have 2 of the Make Up For Ever that are really nice.
I have a couple of colors by Sephora & Ulta that are good.
ELF brand are $5 & are quite nice.
I don't like Julep, Clinique Chubby Sticks, Colourpop.
Some vary by color/finish even in a brand.
