Eyeshadow can be tough to master–it can take you a while just to pick shades from your favorite eyeshadow palettes. And no matter how much time you spend swiping the brush back and forth, it can nearly be impossible to get a seamless, clean eyeshadow look in minutes, maybe even if you have some mad MUA skills. That is, until we discover the magic of the best eyeshadow sticks.
Eyeshadow sticks are cream formulas that typically come in either a twist-up tube or as a chubby pencil. They’re very easy to apply because they don’t necessarily require a brush for complex blending. They’re great for travel because of their compact size. Also, many contain polymers that make for a longer wear time.
Simple application, convenience, and longevity—what more can you ask for? Read on to discover the best eyeshadow sticks that shined the brightest.
