I really enjoy this shadestick because it makes putting on eye makeup effortlessly easy. The color consistency always looks great and the application is perfect every time. It is so easy to add a...

I love my shadesticks. I have butternutty and lemon chiffon. I purchased them several years ago and still use them on a daily basis. They're creamy, soft, dry down quickly and grab color very well....

I think this is a really great concept, but MAC should revamp the formula to something similar to the Laura Mercier caviar sticks. Its a shame since MAC came out with pretty shades with the Warm &...

A few years back when these first came out I got talked into buying two (Gentle Lentil and Sharkskin) like a huge sucker. The first few times I used them they were great: smooth application, good...

Easily the worst product I've ever bought from MAC. I've been thinking that my application was wrong - but no, these just suck. I've tried every single way to apply these and every time I'm left...

I bought this thinking it would be a great cream-like shadow to work as a base. However, it's extremely hard in texture, which makes it almost impossible to put on. I have to rub it between my...

I tried my very first shadestick I received in a swap a couple days ago. I applied it and it went on kind of blotchy and uneven. I applied more to those areas then applied 3 different shadows from...

I was disappointed by these. I purchased many and of these in neutral shades to wear as bases under eyeshadow. They look quite nice by themselves too. However, they don't apply very well, and they...

I bought this product a while ago in a shimmery white colour and I was really disappointed with it. It wouldn't go on smoothly even after I warmed it up. It was always really dry and lumpy and I...

Shadesticks are my favorite to collect. They're the best for traveling. I love paint pots too, but I would never bring one with me on vacation. I never had a problem with them drying out, just make...

I just bought my first shadestick in red velvet. While the color is beautiful, and lasting, the product itself is hard to apply. I lamely tried to put on directly, w/o using an eyeshadow brush,...

I can't believe shadesticks have such a low rating, I have never found them to be dry and I have almost all of them. For me they definitely go on my lids extremely creamy and give any look a...

I absolutely adore the shadesticks, and have nearly every shade. The colours are gorgeous on their own, and as a base to powder eyeshadows they really add depth, punch up sheer colours and allow...
