Tried out these NYX Infinite Shadowsticks in store on my hand and they stayed on all day. Literally, all day. NYX's claim to waterproof and smudge proof is true. I still saw reminants of shadow at the end of the night. I knew I had to buy them; perfect for those long days where I go from desk job to bartending job with a quick stop at the gym in between. My eye makeup would just be one thing I wouldn't have to worry about touching up.
These retail for $8.99 at Ulta. You get .19 oz of product that comes in a traditional pencil form. Meaning it needs to be sharpened. Not my favorite. I really wish it was a twist-up product.
The colors I got were Rose Gold (top) and Silk (bottom.) Rose Gold is just that; a metallic rose-gold color, and Silk is more of a taupey goldish brown. Both are beautiful.
The product isn't overly pigmented. It's a nice application of color that can be blended out easily. I apply it straight from the pencil and blend it out with my finger. A light crease color and some smokey liner is how I've been wearing this and it looks great. It would also make a great base color for a more intense look.
But does it work?
Once set, the color does not budge and doesn't crease. Face wash and a quick swipe of eye-makeup remover is all I use to take this off, so it also removes pretty easily, too. These are fantastic and the color selection is quite beautiful. There are 9 total including a black and a highlight shade.
Would I purchase it again?
You bet! I would live to have all these colors. I think a pretty metallic eye will be my go-to this summer. The black would also make for a great going out smokey eye that won't end up making me look like a raccoon.
Have you tried the shadowsticks? What do you think? If you haven't, go out and get yourself one!
