The Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Lavender is a high-performance product lauded for its ease of use and impressive longevity. Its creamy texture allows for a smooth application, making it suitable for both quick, everyday looks and more elaborate, layered styles. To get the most out of your shadow stick:
For a simple, elegant look, apply the stick directly to your eyelid. Start from the lash line and sweep upwards towards the crease. Immediately after application, use your fingertip or a dense eyeshadow brush to gently blend the edges for a seamless transition. The Lavender shade offers a subtle yet chic pop of color.
To use it as an eyeliner, draw a precise line along your upper or lower lash line. For a softer look, smudge the line slightly with a small brush or a cotton bud before it sets. This technique adds definition with a touch of color.
For added dimension, apply a slightly darker shade (or build up the Lavender) to the outer corner of your eye and into the crease. Blend thoroughly with a brush to create depth and contour.
While the Lavender shade is primarily for lid color, other lighter shades in the product line can be used to highlight. For instance, a lighter, shimmery variant can be dabbed onto the inner corner of the eye or just under the brow bone to brighten and open up the eyes. For Lavender, you might apply a very sheer layer on the center of the lid for a subtle brightening effect, or use it as a base for glitter.
This stick's buildable formula means you can apply a single thin layer for a sheer, delicate tint or layer for a more intense, opaque color. Allow each layer to set for a few seconds before adding more to prevent disturbing the previous application. Always blend edges quickly as the product sets rapidly to its long-wear finish.
The Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick is designed for straightforward use, seamless compatibility with other makeup, and minimal maintenance.
Upon first use, simply remove the protective cap. The stick is ready for immediate application. No sharpening is required for initial use; it's a twist-up mechanism to reveal more product as needed.
This cream shadow stick is highly compatible with other eye makeup products. It works well as a base for powder eyeshadows, helping to enhance their color and prolong wear. You can easily apply mascara, liquid eyeliner, or brow products over or alongside it without issues. For optimal results, ensure any liquid or cream products applied underneath have fully dried before applying the shadow stick.
To ensure the longevity and performance of your shadow stick, always replace the cap firmly after each use. This prevents the creamy formula from drying out. Store the stick in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving it in hot environments, such as a car, as this can alter its consistency. If the tip becomes dull from use, gently twist up more product. Cleaning the tip is not typically necessary, but if needed, a clean tissue can be used to gently wipe any residue.
