If you haven’t tried an eyeshadow stick yet, get ready for an upgrade from your regular powder palette. It’s a game-changer if you want and easy way to make your eyes pop that will literally take you only seconds to apply. Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling Julep Crème to Powder Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick comes highly recommended, and for good reason.
Unlike traditional powder shadows that require different brushes and tools, this stick is designed to simplify and speed up your entire routine. You run it right onto your eyelid, blend if you need or want, and that’s it. The creamy texture sets to a powder finish without settling in your creases and the gentle shimmer gives a look of layered shadows with a quarter of the effort.
Fuss-free eyeshadow? You bet. This stick gives you a pop of color or a touch of shimmer with just a swipe across your lids. Choose from more than 50 colors.
Why do I need this?
Beauty buffs of all ages love these eyeshadow sticks, but if you no longer have 20-year-old eyelids, take note: These can solve all sorts of makeup hiccups. You don’t have to worry about eyeshadow creasing after an hour, which can highlight droopy lids. If you want to preserve the elasticity of the skin around your eyes, these sticks let you smooth on your eyeshadow without tugging or pulling. On top of all that, the colors last all day, fans say — no reapplying necessary to keep your face looking fresh.
Julep’s eyeshadow sticks are made with good-for-skin ingredients like vitamin E (rich in free-radical-fighting antioxidants) and vitamin C (repairs damage from environmental stressors). They also come in over 50 shades — some have shimmer, but there are also loads of mattes to choose from.
Hate putting on makeup? It doesn’t get much easier than an eyeshadow stick.
What reviewers say
With 28,000 five-star ratings, Amazon shoppers have a lot to say about the Julep Crème to Powder Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick.
“They go on so silky and the colors are soft and are just enough to complement the eyes,” wrote a five-star fan. “They do not sink into creases and leave lines.”
“The eye shadow goes on smoothly without pulling the delicate lid skin (important to us over-60 crowd) and is easy to blend,” a beauty enthusiast shared. “The shimmer is not too much for everyday use.”
“Stays all day,” reported another rave reviewer. “I have been dealing with a really teary eye issue and wanted some eye shadow that was easy to apply and would stick around throughout a day of wiping my eye. This does the trick! This never feels sticky on my eyelids but stays in place all day long.”
“So easy to use, and brightens my eyes incredibly!” a happy shopper raved. “No powder mess to clean up on [my] face. Makes me want to throw out all my powder eyeshadows! I am almost 60 years old, and this made a significant difference in my appearance. Makes my eyes pop. It’s a game changer!”
“It glided on nicely and the color was pretty,” shared a final fan who bought it in Champagne Shimmer. “The only complaint that I would have is that this color is very sheer. I had to go over it a couple of times. Pick a darker color if you really want it to stand out.”
Don’t need the extra sparkle? There are matte options to choose from like Putty (shown).
