Formula Overview

$8.00/0.04 oz. - $200.00 Per Ounce

The formula is described as "ulta-pigmented" and "long-lasting" that can be used as "a shadow, a base, [or] as a liner." There is a built-in sharpener on the opposite end.

The updated twist-up pencil eyeshadow formula is creamier, more pigmented, and performed more consistently across the board than the original Colour Stix, which were all over the place with performance. The only issue I had with the Shadow Stix is they weren't long-wearing on me; they had a tendency to fade between six and seven hours and some were mostly gone by nine hours. They were better wearing with a primer underneath or if they were set with powder (so used as a base).

They were creamy and comfortable to work with on the lid, and they had enough give and blendability to work well with fingertips or a brush to diffuse the edges of on the skin. I felt like it was incredibly easy to just buff and pat the edges for an all-over lid color, which was nice given about half the range were various neutral tones.

Formula Overview

$8.50/0.1 oz. - $85.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "no fallout" and will not crease while "glid[ing] on effortlessly." There did not seem to be a specific callout with respect to opacity, and the actual opacity ranged from sheer to more opaque with most being semi-sheer. The brand's promotional swatches/demo images showed the shades as fully opaque in coverage, though.

The consistency was very watery initially; thin, fluid, and on the more watery side so that it was hard to apply the product evenly. I tried to use my fingertips but found that my fingertips seemed to absorb the formula and caused it to dry down faster, which turned it into a gummy consistency--this was even harder to manipulate and even out! I would recommend a larger, flat synthetic brush or the included doe-foot applicator.

I found the formula to be particularly difficult and inconsistent to work with, and I think it would be best for someone who would use the shades as a sheer wash of color and is not particularly concerned for a 100% perfect evenness or layered over another eyeshadow. They have some tremendous sparkle and shine, so I can see some people loving them for real-life use.

Once on, they were crease- and fade-resistant and did not have fallout for 10 hours, as they did fully dry down, but they easily removed with water.

Note: some shades contain plastic (PET) glitter.

Formula Overview

$25.00/0.056 oz. - $446.43 Per Ounce

The product is described as "intensely pigmented" and long-wearing that is "easy to blend and smudge with a brush or fingers." It is also designed to be layered and is touted as "transfer-proof" and "water-proof." The range comes in both matte and shimmer finishes. Some shades performed better than others, and I'd say that the matte shades tended to be more finicky and less forgiving in application compared to the shimmer shades.

With the matte shades, they were quite pigmented, but they dried down as one blended them out (even while working quite quickly!), which made it a challenge to get an even, blended application of the product. Instead, the product tended to lift and move, creating noticeably patchy areas. I did not feel like it layered as well as the dry down was firmer and a touch tacky, so layering tended to lift up the first layer and increased the unevenness instead.

The shimmer shades had a bit more time to work, which may have been why the seemed easier to use initially, but the working time was still pretty short, and once it started to set, it became difficult to blend. They tended to work "best" applied with a fingertip and blended as one went OR applied with the stick and buffed out only at the edges rather than sheered out. Neither the matte nor shimmer shades were the most flattering to lids with texture or any dryness either.

The wear was inconsistent across shades, but they were not particularly long-wearing. The drier matte shades were prone to flaking and slight creasing after four hours, whereas the shimmery shades were more prone to creasing after three to four hours.

Formula Overview

$25.00/0.056 oz. - $446.43 Per Ounce

The product is described as "intensely pigmented" and long-wearing that is "easy to blend and smudge with a brush or fingers." It is also designed to be layered and is touted as "transfer-proof" and "water-proof." The range comes in both matte and shimmer finishes. Some shades performed better than others, and I'd say that the matte shades tended to be more finicky and less forgiving in application compared to the shimmer shades.

With the matte shades, they were quite pigmented, but they dried down as one blended them out (even while working quite quickly!), which made it a challenge to get an even, blended application of the product. Instead, the product tended to lift and move, creating noticeably patchy areas. I did not feel like it layered as well as the dry down was firmer and a touch tacky, so layering tended to lift up the first layer and increased the unevenness instead.

The shimmer shades had a bit more time to work, which may have been why the seemed easier to use initially, but the working time was still pretty short, and once it started to set, it became difficult to blend. They tended to work "best" applied with a fingertip and blended as one went OR applied with the stick and buffed out only at the edges rather than sheered out. Neither the matte nor shimmer shades were the most flattering to lids with texture or any dryness either.

Formula Overview

$20.00/0.34 oz. - $58.82 Per Ounce

The formula is a cream product that is supposed to be "highly pigmented," "smudge proof," "waterproof, and "rapid drying." They're multi-purpose products that can be used on the eyes, lips, and cheeks (though note: the Foil finish includes plastic, or PET, glitter, which is technically not considered eye safe via FDA).

The key takeaway with this formula is that they really do mean "rapid drying" -- it is both a pro and a con, but you have to work quickly and efficiently when using this product on the skin where one might want to diffuse, spread, or blend out edges. While the brand is consumer-friendly, this product is particularly favored by makeup artists, and I did feel like there was a learning curve with them.

Some shades dry a little faster than others, and once they dry down, they are pretty smudge proof as marketed, so they don't want to be moved. Attempts to blend them out after they set often resulted in the product lifting off the skin. They are also, typically, quite pigmented, so one should exercise caution when applying to cheeks initially. I found that some of the more sparkly shades were sheerer.

The consistency was thin, lightweight, and a runnier cream, which meant that it was easy to squeeze out more product than desired from the tube for the uninitiated. After a few uses, I was able to dial in the pressure I needed to squeeze out the product and was consistently able to get what I needed from there.

Eyes

Depending on the intensity of the shade relative to your skin tone and whether you wanted a sheerer or more opaque end result, fingertips or synthetic brushes would be the primary tools. I found that I often preferred to put a little product on the back of my hand and then used either my fingertips (for more all-over application) or a brush (for more precise or opaque application). For precision and ease of use (as my fingertips are a little large compared to my eye size), I liked fluffy, synthetic brushes to diffuse the edges or sheer out the product.

Some of the Foil shades in particular tended to a little thicker and tackier when applied, and I wasn't always able to maneuver them evenly. They seemed to work better as an accent, like on the inner tear duct or on the middle of the lid.

The majority of shades were very pigmented, fairly blendable, and long-wearing, while most shades lasted 10 hours without fading, creasing, or flaking. I did feel like my eyelids got a little drier from wearing several of these shades for multiple days in a row.

Lips

They applied a lot better to lips than I anticipated, as I often find that multi-purpose products do well on one or two areas but rarely all of them. The product applied well with a fingertip or a lip brush, though for speed, I liked using a fingertip. The majority of the shades applied evenly, didn't emphasize my lip texture/lip lines, and were comfortable enough to wear.

The dry down was noticeable, but the product had light tackiness, though I didn't have issues with the color lift up. Despite having more of a liquid lipstick kind of dry down, it still felt lighter-weight and was flexible, which is what made it more comfortable to wear. I didn't see marks left on my glass, and they easily lasted through a cup of coffee. Most shades seemed to wear for six hours or longer on me.

The more sparkly shades with less opacity tended to be least even and felt tackier, and if I pressed and rubbed my lips together, it seemed like some product moved a bit.

Cheeks

As cheek application is often sheerer, rather than full coverage, applying the more pigmented shades to cheeks took some getting used it as one has to work quickly and start with way less than you need. I preferred using more feathery, duo-fiber brushes for really vivid shades to diffuse and apply product on cheeks better, but fingertips worked for getting an initial placement and then a clean brush was lovely for the blending portion.

The wear time on cheeks was comparable with eyes (so around 10 hours of good wear).

Editor's note: I don't know why I didn't make this connection previously (at some point, I was aware they were multi-use), as I bought these as cream eyeshadows for review. If I had to go back and do swatches of each shade on cheeks and lips, I might never, ever review (based on the volume of other products I have in the queue), so while I tested each shade for application, pigmentation, longevity, etc. for all three purposes, you will only find a skin swatch.
