What they liked

  • Minimal color deposit for a subtle look

What they flagged

  • Stiff texture, hard to blend and work with
  • Flat matte finish, settles into fine lines

What the gurus are saying

These shadow sticks settle into fine lines and flatten after a few hours, a real drawback if you have fine lines. Reviewers who could work with the formula found it buildable (you can layer it darker or smudge for blending), while others hit a wall with a stiff texture that won't cooperate. They're $24 each.

"Thrive came out with some new Shadow sticks this year and I was really excited to try them but unfortunately the colors for me are just a little flat they're definitely matte and they settle in my fine lines every single one of them the colors just kind of once they settle in after a few hours they just settle and they kind of dry and they're just not all that flattering so the Thrive eyeshadow sticks are going to be a pass for me"

"Thrive also has come out with some new stick shadows. I've just started playing around with these. I applied them today for a very minimalist look. The color deposit on these is very light, but I'm going to be playing with these more."

"I really like these ones. I actually really haven't needed to sharpen them because I kind of like once they get a little bit of rounded tip on them. You can easily make it bright darker if you want, smudge it if you want. I have a silver one that's called Betty which is my favorite. I love silver, it's actually like a blue silver. So these are all really nice. I like them. They're 24 bucks each or get them on sale, I'm sure they'll be on sale for Black Friday or something like that."

"I bought a shadow stick from Thrive, and oh my gosh, it was so stiff, really hard to work with."
