Wear time varies but on my dry lids I did experience creasing within a five hour period. In this case, application and blendability, Laura Mercier has the supreme formula as a single swipe yields color and as I blend I don’t experience issues with patchiness. Pigmentation is excellent but the color needs building in order to get the best saturation on lids. You have to have patience to ’s a technique of swiping it on your eye two to three times, blending with your finger, and rebuilding the color because certain shades go a little patchy and reveal the skin of your lid as you blend. I find they sheer out quickly and prove a little difficult to build up. Thankfully the other six shades didn’t have an issue. Not sure if I was too heavy handed or they are prone to breakage but they snapped right off as I was applying. In two cases, I ended up losing the dome shaped tipped of the pencil. I did find these a tad challenging to work with. Shadow, Violet Plum, Golden Pink, Forest, Bark Hover your mouse over the photos to display the shade name. This tackiness isn’t uncomfortable at all but typically it prolongs the wear of the original format of these shadows however, in the pencil formula it didn’t seem to aid much but more on that in a bit. They have a little bit of a tacky feel, if you’re familiar with the Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadows (pot) you’ll likely know what I mean. They are soft and creamy enough that they glide onto lids easily without tugging. The texture is similiar but not as creamy as Laura Mercier’s Caviar Pencils. Just like the Long-Wear Cream Shadow these have a thick, creamy formula.


Take that great formula, stick it in a swivel up pencil, and you basically have a brand new way to apply those shadows. I used to dislike cream shadows in a major way but they’ve grown on me to a point that I embrace and even love the formula more than shadows sometimes.īobbi’s Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks are sort of a new take on her already popular Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadows in the pot. I’ve been testing these for a few weeks so I thought it well past the time for a review.

The Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick is kinda a new take on Bobbi’s long wearing shadow formula in a pencil format which applies easily onto eyes in a handy, travel friendly pencil. For Spring 2013, Bobbi Brown launched an eight shade selection of new Long-Wear Cream Shadow Sticks ($28).
