I bought from a CCO when I was first getting into eyeshadow. I came to discover that these type of orange/copper shades do not work well with my eye color and skin tone. I will not repurchase.

I was so excited to find a Penny Shadestick at a CCO after my cousin raved about this product. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I found it difficult to apply (I wear contact lenses and every...

My favorite eyeshadow of all time. I don't normally use MAC but this shadestick has made me convert. The color looks amazing on me whether I wear it day or night. I normally wear it alone and not...

I love Shadesticks as a base, and this one does not disappoint! I've had other Shadesticks that were less creamy and harder to blend, but this one is absolutely amazing--it goes on smooth, blends...

I got a small amount of this in a swap; It really is the color of a penny! it's funny actually, it may not be too flattering on my brown eyes but green eyes would pop with this shadestick. I like...

I LOVE THIS! I bought it a while ago in the Sugarsweet packaging, and boy is this beautiful. It's extremely creamy, and such a beautiful color. It does remind me of a penny. Suprisingly this looks...

I ABSOLUTELY love this! MOST of the time, I use it as my e/s base. I like it because especially when wearing dark e/s...this brightens it and minimizes the "black eye effect" that can be seen with...

I find it silly of reviewers to take away ratings because the shade doesn't match the name.... i mean... "red velvet" shadestick isn't red, so are you going to give it a bad review? It's just a fun...

This product only appealed to me because of the "ease of application". And the fact that it brings out my hazel eyes with "Lucky Jade" amazingly. I use it when I want a natural look, because it...

This does crease somewhat on unprepped lids, however, using UD primer first keeps it in place no budging, smears, slipping etc. As far as the aforementioned problem of difficulty in applying I just...
