Long-wearing cream formula
Compact, takes minimal space

What they flagged

Nothing. None of the experts who reviewed it raised a problem.

What the gurus are saying

Speed and ease are the main draw: these sticks go on in seconds without needing precision. The shade range is praised for gorgeous colors and shimmery finishes that work beautifully across different eye colors. The one thing to keep in mind: if past formulas creased on you, the new version may have fixed that, but a quick wear test first is worth it to confirm.

"I'm going in with my Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in shade Strapless. I love these eyeshadow sticks because they are incredibly fast and you don't need to be very precise. With these sticks you can kind of just smudge them out, especially for like a low maintenance day. I like that this is sort of a slightly purple taupe. I think it works well for lighter colored eyes, although purpley colors look amazing with brown eyes too. It's shimmery but day appropriate shimmer in my opinion."

"These are a cream eyeshadow that come in a stick super easy to use very longwearing and just gorgeous shade range. I like these so much because they are incredibly convenient they take up almost no space in my makeup bag and just with like 2 seconds of application you can make yourself look and feel pulled together. The shade that I wear the most often is called Strapless I actually got it for my birthday as a gift from Sephora and it is sort of a beautiful shimmery taupe the other colors I really like are On Natural which is almost always sold out and then they've sort of released these new colors and there's a shade called Forbidden Rose that I have not tried yet but is 100% up my alley and I will be grabbing it."

"I thought they went on really beautifully. I only tried a couple of shades and I thought they blended really beautifully. I don't know yet if they're like the best eyeshadow sticks I've ever tried, obviously a wear test is going to be very important with that, but I am hopeful that the longevity is improved with these because that's one thing that I noticed in the past with their previous formula they had really gorgeous colors but it just ended up creasing on me so I didn't reach for them as much as some of my others. But I'm excited to keep putting those to the test."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
