Best Eyeshadow Sticks of 2025

"I'm in my 50s and struggled to find makeup that works for my mature skin. These eye sticks have solved all my issues! They apply quickly, blend beautifully, and don't settle into lines. I've fallen in love with them and now have 12 colors!"

"I absolutely love this product! It glides on so smoothly and blends perfectly. The texture is luxurious and it doesn't feel sticky at all. I've even slept in it and it still looks great the next day. I highly recommend it!"

"Using the taupe shimmer has been a game changer for me. It's subtle yet stunning, and I use it every day. I love how it stays put without smearing. I just hope it never goes out of stock!"

"I was looking for a variety of eye shadows on a budget, and this product is perfect for me. The colors match exactly what was shown, and the quality is excellent. The texture is very smooth and soft on my eyelids. Just a heads up, it doesn't last all day, so I have to reapply throughout the day or night."

"As a senior with sensitive skin, I was a bit hesitant when I received these as a gift. However, I've tried five colors so far and they are lovely! The colors are soft and muted, the packaging is as advertised, and I’m very satisfied."

"I’m completely obsessed with these colors! They have a great softness and quality, and they last without smudging. They dry quickly, which is a huge plus for me."

“I’m absolutely in love with this amethyst color eye shadow. It’s the perfect plum/bronze/shimmer that I had been searching for, and it’s so hard to find! It looks amazing with my blue eyes and brown mascara. With an eyeshadow base, it lasts even longer, but even without it, it stays put 95% of the day. It’s smooth and easy to blend with either my finger or a brush. I bought a few extras just in case they discontinue this color!”

“Since discovering these little eyeshadow crayons, I haven’t bought powder shadows anymore. They’re easy to apply and come in beautiful colors. They leave a natural look, which I adore!”

“I recently purchased the COVERGIRL Clean Eye Colour eyeshadow stick and I’m thrilled with it! It glides on smoothly, blends without brushes, and is incredibly long-lasting. This is the best shade I’ve ever tried, a neutral taupe with hints of grey that makes my eyes pop beautifully! It applies easily, and even with oily eyelids, it doesn’t budge. The only minor issue is that it dries fast, but I quickly learned to work in small areas. Overall, I highly recommend this product!”

"I absolutely love these! They're super easy to apply and have rich and sparkly colors. They go on smoothly and don't irritate my eyes. I've bought several packages and colors!"

"At first, I was hesitant, but I’m really happy with this product. As a busy mom of three, I need something that’s quick. It applies smoothly and lasts all day. The colors are vibrant and beautiful. I’d definitely buy it again!"

"I recently tried the Metallic Eyeshadow Stick and I’m truly impressed! It's become a staple in my beauty routine. The smooth and creamy texture glides on without any tugging, and I love the fantastic range of colors for any occasion!"

"I love the great light neutral colors for my mature skin. The price is a fraction of what prime cosmetics cost, and while the consistency is a bit less creamy than prime, I’m using these for deeper creases and prime only for highlights. I'm very happy with my purchase!"

"I ordered these after seeing them on TikTok, and I’m glad I did! It’s my first time using a non-powder eye shadow, and I’m really enjoying it. It applies smoothly and blends easily, plus the brush at the end keeps the colors separate. I definitely plan on ordering more!"

"I bought several of these because I have thin skin around my eyes and needed a creamy shadow that wouldn’t look cakey. They apply easily, don’t dry out my lids, and after setting, they last all day. Removing them is a breeze with gentle makeup remover, and the price is unbeatable!"

“I find that this product goes on smoothly and gives a cool sensation. Once it dries, it stays put all day, and I think it's as good as Laura Mercier.”

“I absolutely love how creamy this eyeshadow is! It glides across my eyelids without pulling and the color is stunning for a bit of glam. I can wear it all day without irritation.”

“This eyeshadow applies beautifully and lasts all day without creasing. I have several colors and it’s definitely worth trying!”

"I'm absolutely thrilled with this copper-colored eyeshadow stick! It glides smoothly over my lids without any fuss. The roll-up design is genius, and the copper shade enhances my blue eyes beautifully. I've received so many compliments! Plus, the amazing price point makes it a steal. It lasts all day without creasing or fading, which is perfect for my busy schedule. This is a must-have in my makeup routine!"

"I ordered the Copper shade, which is more of a dark gold/bronze. It stays in place and took baby oil to remove, which is fantastic for my oily skin in the Texas heat. While it doesn’t blend easily, it applies exactly where I want it to and lasts all day. It's a subtle shade with just the right amount of shimmer!"

"I love this product! It goes on creamy, doesn't irritate my eyes, and is long-lasting. For such a low price, e.l.f. delivers a quality product that's hard to beat!"

"I find that this eyeshadow goes on smoothly without pulling and lasts all day. There’s no creasing on my eyelids, and I’m thrilled with how great it looks in the evening!"

"As a long-time user of BE, I appreciate the sophisticated shimmers in these sticks. The taupe shimmer is stunning and perfect for my olive undertones. I love the easy application and the convenience of touch-ups on the go!"

"I absolutely love this product! The colors are beautiful and enhance my eye color perfectly. The moisturizing formula is easy to use, and I appreciate the smudger at the end for a neat finish."

“I had some doubts about the shininess of these eye color sticks, but the shades are perfect. I decided to order them, thinking I could pass them on to my daughter if they highlighted my eyelid wrinkles. Fortunately, the included blending brush softens the metallic look into a soft sheen that is fresh and luminous. I'm really enjoying these products—easy to apply, easy to blend, long-lasting, and economical!”

“For a long time, I was on the lookout for a matte ivory cream shadow. This eyeshadow checks all my boxes as a 68-year-old lady. The color stays all day, doesn't crease much, can even be used under the eyes, and I have no sensitivity issues. It dries well and offers fantastic value compared to other brands. Plus, the brush is wonderful!”

“Initially, I was quite pleased with this product because of how nicely it applied. However, I soon realized it felt a bit sticky and tacky, almost as if it were old. I didn't like how it creased on my eyelids throughout the day. The blending brush is a nice feature, but I can't overlook the sticky feeling on my eyelids. I really wanted to love this product, but I will be returning it.”

"At 74, I've tried many eyeliners, but this one surprised me with its softness, blendability, and great color options. It's my favorite, though it can smudge a bit, which isn't a big issue for me."

"I was a fan of Wet N Wild in the 90s, and when I found this purple eyeshadow pencil, I had to try it. I expected low quality, but it glided on like silk, with rich pigmentation that outperformed pricier brands. I'm thrilled and plan to stock up!"

"Initially, I had low expectations and found it hard to apply, but after dabbing and blending, I discovered how to use it effectively. Now, I love it as both eyeshadow and eyeliner, and it lasts all day. I'm officially converted!"
