I started my shopping of Bobbi Brown eye makeup products last summer when I tried out a few of their cream eye shadow formulas and now I am in love with their stick cream eye shadow formula. I have been playing around the Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks for the past few weeks and I needed to force myself to put these down so that I could start working with the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Palette. I am going to review these shadow sticks today so that I can get back to working on my thoughts of that palette.
"A long-lasting, do-it-all eye shadow that's a stroke of genius - just swipe and go. This budge-proof formula stays put for 8 hours. Glides on lids tug-free and can be used to shade, define, smoke up, and highlight eyes. Comes in subtle to eye-popping shades that last for up to 8 hours without creasing, flaking, or fading (and its completely water-resistant).", states the Bobbi Brown website.
The colors available on this product are...
- Vanilla - white cream
- Truffle - creamy beige
- Sunlight Gold - beige gold
- Malted Pink - deep nude pink
- Taupe - medium caramel
- Stone - medium gray brown
- Nude Beach - grayish taupe with a hint of shimmer
- Pink Sparkle - light pink sparkle
- Dusty Mauve - shimmering lavender
- Soft Peach - pastel peach
- Sand Dune - medium beige tan
- Golden Pink - shimmering peach pink
- Goldstone - shimmering brown gold
- Golden Bronze - deep bronze sugar
- Shadow - smokey blue gray
- Heather Steel - deep gray purple
- Bark - rich brown
- Violet Plum - deep shimmer eggplant
I purchased a few of the neutral shades in this product and now would like to order even more shades. I didn't see all the shades at the counter in Sephora so I will need to visit the counter to find more of these shades. I purchased the following shades: Vanilla, Truffle, Sunlight Gold, Sand Dune, and Golden Pink. These shades have either a satin or a shimmer finish and I use each finish a different way. My favorite finish is the shimmer finish but every shade that I have used is very high quality and pigmented.
The satin finish shades I use right over a primer, I draw them right onto my lid and then buff the edges out with a MAC 224 brush. I will one shade all over my lid or I will combine two shades to create more definition on my lid. The shimmer finishes can be used in exactly the same way but I do set down a matte bone colored shadow and a subtle transition shade before applying the shadow sticks.
Bobbi Brown has always preferred a more natural, polished beauty look and enjoys creating products that are effortless to use and last all throughout the day. These Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks certainly fit the bill and I love that they take very little time to apply in the morning and then last on my lids all throughout the day. The neutrals are very easy to work with and Golden Peach is my favorite shade of the group.
I want to grab a few more of these shadow sticks, I am hoping that some of the deeper shades will work to quickly add drama to an eye look or to create the gradient needed for a smoky eye. I want to order the following shades to round out my collection of this product: Nude Beach, Goldstone, Golden Bronze, Bark, and Violet Plum. I would like to see these in a deep charcoal hue or a pale gray hue, most of these shades trend to warmer or neutral hues. I would love to see more cool shades offered in this product.
We will be picking back up on my Brand Spotlight series next week, I will be picking back up with a face product and then rounding out this month's spotlight with a new fragrance!
