There is something to be said about the texture of these Long Wear Eyeshadow Sticks! The way they glide on is just like spreading butter onto freshly toasted bread. Yuum! Ummm, where was I again?
They are extremely easy to use and handy to have around. Theoretically, you could use them to transform your daytime look to something more smoldering for the night out. You could also forgo totting brushes around for they work amazingly with fingers. Practicality wise, well, they are just not up to par...
Why? Simply because these sticks are not oil proof. They may be water proof and smudge proof but what use are those in face of oily lids? My trial run went downhill quickly - creasing and also fading begun after 30 minutes and got worse over time. They desperately need the help of an eyelid primer to stay put.
On the upside, Elianto has thoughtfully included in-built sharpeners to restore the blunted edges back to their former glory. Some accounts recommend them as eyeliners. I find them to be too stubby for that purpose - I like my liners reaaally fine - so with that said, I will leave you to decide what to do from there.
The Long Wear Eyeshadow Sticks are available in shades of navy, blue, white, brown, purple and black. Note to Elianto: more colours please! For instance, a taupe, a light beige or a golden pink (sorry, that is my love for neutrals shining through).
Look out for them in stores or online on elianto.biz.

nice colors, I love the purple and black and so great of them to put a sharpener
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed by the color selection that they already have, although more colors is a must. They look really pretty! How is the wear on it--long wearing and non smudging despite humidity?
ReplyDeleteOmg love those swatches! The pigmentations and the textures seems like a dream! I love the blue one sort of aquatic shade, its so stunning!
