Bobbi Brown Golden Bronze Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick
Bobbi Brown Golden Bronze Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick ($28.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “deep bronze sugar.” It’s a warm-toned, caramel bronze with pale bronze shimmer. It has a soft, frosted finish–not quite metallic but not just a frost. The consistency was very creamy and emollient–but in a way that didn’t feel too wet or take forever to set when applied to the lid, just in a way that made it apply smoothly and with rich, full color coverage. It sets fairly quickly, so you will want to make sure you work one eye at a time. MAC Brownluxe #4 is darker. Edward Bess Cosmic Bliss #4 is similar. Giorgio Armani #10 #4 is warmer. Le Metier de Beaute Autumn Rust is slightly darker. Bobbi Brown Bronze is similar. Urban Decay Deeper is similar. Chanel Promesse #3 is warmer. bareMinerals Ritzy is darker. See comparison swatches.
Bobbi Brown Sunlight Gold Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick ($28.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a “beige gold.” It’s a pale, warm-toned light gold with subtle yellow undertones and a frosted, slightly metallic, finish. It had fairly good color payoff in a single stroke, and it was buildable to mostly opaque color. The consistency was lightly creamy but still sets fairly quickly so work one eye at a time. MAC Vanilla Diamond is more sparkly. Chanel Convoitise is yellower. MAC Pastelluxe #1 is more sparkly. Disney Charming is lighter. Disney Sea Shells is also lighter. Urban Decay Illusion is similar. MAC Dazzlelight is lighter. MAC Halo is similar. Benefit Bikini-tini is very similar. Make Up For Ever #126 is less shimmery. See comparison swatches.
Both shades lasted well on me for eight hours; after ten hours, I had some very subtle creasing and slight fading.

I am a huge Bobbi Brown fan. However, I have to say I really dislike the Shadow Sticks. I had one and I couldn’t get it to work no matter what I did. The shadow was very patchy and would not apply smoothly. I tried it with and without primer. The color was so pretty, but I returned it. I was so sad to have done that. But it was $30 after taxes for a basically useless product.
Hey Liz!
Which color did you try? I felt like not all were created equal, unfortunately!
I had Golden Pink. I know you gave it an A+. So, I was so surprised when I couldn’t get it to apply smoothly. I tried using my fingers, a cream shadow brush, as well as applying directly from the tube to my lid. As I mentioned earlier, I tried it with and without primer. I chatted with an artist on bobbi’s website and was told not to use primer. It still didn’t work. I’ll stick to Laura Mercier Caviar sticks, which work well for me.
I’m so bummed it worked so poorly for you Liz! Really sorry about that – I am glad that there is an eyeshadow pencil that DOES work well for you 🙂
oh wow I love these, especially the golden bronze!
I love both of these! These are the sort of shades I like to keep in my makeup bag.
I feel like I’ve seen a lot of similar products in similar shades lately, but that doesn’t take away from how completely beautiful these colors are. Metallic-finishes can be difficult for me though, especially cream-formulas, because they often make my eyelids look dry and crackly
I’d love to give these a try. The only eyeshadow sticks I have ever tried were from Gosh.
Xtine, do you know how does Golden Bronze compare to Laura Mercier’s Sandglow?
I don’t think I have that – sorry!
