Of the shades released, Vanilla is best-suited for a (mostly) universal base for your favorite eyeshadows. On lighter lids, it can also work simply to brighten. It has a very creamy finish, and it goes on with opaque color coverage without needing to build up the color. The texture is lightly creamy; enough creaminess to help it glide on without pulling or tugging on the lid but not so much that it creases. It does set a bit faster than other shades, so work quickly if you want to blend out the edges or blend it with other shades. Even after ten hours, the color remained opaque and crease-free (and it’s rated to last for eight).

Sand Dune will work well as a more neutral base as well as a brightening lid color (depending on your skin tone). It tends to give my natural lid a more even, warmer look without being too drastically different from the skin tone (and I have a medium complexion with warm undertones). The consistency is creamy and glides on well over the lid without pulling or tugging, and the color deposits evenly and with opaque color. Though still creamy, it was just slightly drier compared to some of the other shades. It dried down fast enough not to gather into the creases but gave me enough time to blend and work it into the lid. It wore well for a full eight hours, though I went as far as ten hours and still didn’t have problems with creasing or fading.

Clinique’s Chubby Stick Shadow Tints are supposed to be a “sheer wash of lightweight, creamy colour.” It’s supposed to be “layerable” and long-wearing, too. Fuller Fudge can be used as a sheer wash of color, but it is absolutely layerable to mostly opaque color. The consistency isn’t wet or slick, but it glides on well enough with little pulling or tugging at the lid. I don’t know that I would describe it was creamy–perhaps almost waxy–because it does smooth on but there’s no real slip or wetness to it. The formula could be slightly creamier, because then it would be more blendable on the lid and apply more comfortably. It wore well for ten hours on me; after twelve hours, there was some faint creasing. The shadow twists-up, so there’s no need for sharpening, which means no waste!

The consistency is creamy and glides on beautifully, evenly, and smoothly with full color coverage. It is blendable and remains blendable just long enough to work but not so long that it has a chance to gather into the creases before you’ve finished. I did have a problem with this one tending to fade along the edges after eight hours, and it wasn’t a problem I experienced with any of the other shades. It was such a bummer, because the color payoff was fantastic, texture was creamy and blendable, and no creasing–but fading is still frustrating!

Bobbi Brown Iced Blue Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick
Bobbi Brown Iced Blue Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick ($28.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “shimmering blue grey.” It’s a cool-toned, blue-tinted silver with a frosted, metallic finish. Definitely more silver than it is blue, but it’s the exact color I thought of when I read the name “Iced Blue.” MAC Frozen Blue is grayer, darker, less blue. Urban Decay Strip is just a touch darker–but this was the shade I immediately thought of when I swatched Iced Blue. Urban Decay Mary Jane is darker and bluer. The Glossover

The new Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks are supposed to wear for eight hours, have good color payoff, and a glide-on consistency. Golden Pink has a fantastic texture and feel; it’s creamy enough to apply evenly and with full color coverage without tugging or pulling on the lid, but it stays put and doesn’t crease while you wait for it to dry down. It sets quickly, but you have enough time to blend and smooth out any edges if you wear it as an eyeshadow or alone. The lighter color gives it added versatility, as it can be used as an eyeshadow base to add warmth and increase vibrancy of other eyeshadows. Golden Pink wore a full eight hours on me with no creasing, fading, or smudging; it was still in very good shape after ten hours.
