- Eyeshadow 101 Cream-to-Powder Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick – Bronze Shimmer – Long-Lasting, Buildable, Crease-Proof, Cruelty Free, Shimmer Finish with Built-In Smudger

I've bought other Julep products (tinted lip balm and under eye concealer) and liked them, but this product is the best one yet! This eyeshadow goes on easily, blends nicely, and lasts all day. It's a really nice texture- not dry or sticky. After 12-hour days it does get into eyelid creases a little, but almost any product would...a swipe of the pinky is all it takes to re-distribute it. No problem with my contact lenses. Really really great eyeshadow. I started following the brand because I'm becoming a huge fan!

This eyeshadow stick goes on smoothly and is really easy to blend, making it great for quick, everyday looks. The color payoff is nice, and it sets to a powder finish that stays in place. It lasts well throughout the day without much creasing, and the built-in smudger is a nice bonus. It dries fairly quickly, so you have to blend fast, but once you get used to it, it works great. Overall, a simple, long-lasting eyeshadow that’s easy to use.

Good color, quality. Have purchased Julep products many times. Sometimes the color isn’t quite as expected…lighter or darker than as displayed in their pictures. But, goes on smoothly and lasts well through the day. Would like to see more matte color options. Nice to have the blending pad on the other end. Really like their products, although getting the exact shade you’re after is kind of a challenge with their products.

I love eyeshadow sticks, much better than the compact eyeshadows. Julep has the concept of this eyeshadow stick perfect. Lots of great colors that go on smooth and stay on for a long time and they don’t irritate my eyelid.

This product is absolutely amazing! It's buttery smooth, color rich, and it really does last all day. I wish that the tip and product in general were a little bit thinner so I could do more of a line as a base, but it really is a gorgeous color. I feel safe using a product from a company that uses quality ingredients and makes sure that it is non toxic. The cream is not thick at all, it feels lightweight and airy, like I'm not wearing anything at all. The twist is also smooth and easy, can't wait to try other colors!

I purchased the Rose Shimmer & Champagne colors. I read mixed reviews for the rose color being more of a copper/penny/rose gold, but gambled and got it anyway because the stock photos showed otherwise. We'll - I got the batch that looks like copper. My skin can't handle orange undertones and unfortunately this color is not for me, even though I still think it's beautiful! If I had more tan or olive skin - this is the perfect summer warm bronzer glow look. (I did wait to see if the color changed with oxidation and it stays true to color throughout the day.) The Champagne color is as described and gorgeous! They truly glide on so creamy, but feel like a powder once it's set. Careful when you blend - I found the product wipes off really easily when trying to blend. Unfortunately I may be allergic to something in these though because they made my lids swell. (I am hyper sensative to everything, so don't let that scare you from trying them.) Because they do rub off easily and slightly sit in the crease after a while, I find the sale value of $12 fine for how beautiful they look. Definitely a great "apply & go" stick for rushed mornings!

I’m a mature woman over 40, i e been using this eyeshadow stick for 4 months and here’s what I like about Julep cream-to-powder waterproof eyeshadow stick; it goes on smoothly, blends well when you use the blending applicator, there’s no creasing, the shimmery colors are just that - shimmery. None of that funky nightclubbing glitter look that flakes off. This is eyeshadow is waterproof and stays on all day long. This comes off easily with makeup remover or miceller water.

I didn't get to try this out because I received a used item. (And it appears I'm not the only one.) I was able to get a close look at it, and I was immediately disappointed with the color "mixture." The item I selected wouldn't have worked for me, regardless of any other issue. I've been curious about these eyeshadow sticks for a long time. I wanted to test them out years ago, but they seemed kind of pricey for my budget. I don't like to spend more than I'm used to on an item I have no certainty will work as claimed. But then my friend told me she bought a stick on discount, and it was a game changer for her. (Easy to use, easy to blend, buildable color, quick application, lasts long, looks natural, etc.) She said she bought more and suggested I at least try one. She insisted they were worth the regular price... finding one on discount was just a bonus. We're very much alike in what we look for in beauty cosmetics, so I was intrigued. I also saw there were a ton more reviews on Amazon than the last time I checked, and the majority of them seemed highly positive. So, I went for it. I felt I had the amount of guarantee I needed to justify testing this thing out. I got the sheer shimmery pink color to use as a highlighter and on the inner corner of my eyes for a brightening effect. But that's not going to happen now. After I received my used product, I took a closer look at the reviews on Amazon - mostly to see if anyone mentioned unexpected problems with the same color I ordered. Instead, I noticed there were quite a bit of people who received what appeared to be used products, too! This is highly disappointing considering this brand seemed to have made a good name for itself over the last few years. I was really excited to finally try their infamously convenient and water-resistant eyeshadow stick. You'd think they'd be more careful about the products they're sending out - especially for what they're charging. My eyeshadow stick was undoubtedly used before I received it. Box was slightly crushed with signs of having been opened. The tip of the eyeshadow was smudged and there was product smeared on the outside of the barrel. If all that wasn't proof enough, the sponge tip had makeup residue on it as if someone fully tried every part of this thing out. I can't speak for the application and wear quality of the item because I'm not willing to risk transferring potential bacteria to my eyes, face, or even the back of my hand. I can say the expectation of the product was not met, right off the bat. I can also add that I was surprised that there looked to be big chunks of glitter in the shimmery sheer pink eyeshadow and on the sponge tip. (I wasn't expecting such large specks of actual GLITTER to be in the mix. It wasn't shown on the advertised photos or explicitly stated that cheap glitter would be used. I did expect some fine mineral-like shimmer, but not cheap glitter.) I'd suggest that if you buy this product, you thoroughly inspect it upon receiving it. Having cosmetics melt or break during shipment is one thing. But being sold a used product (advertised as new) is absolutely unacceptable. Especially, when there's evidence of it be a reoccurring issue for this particular product. I'm debating whether or not I want to try ordering another color - only because my friend was raving about this eyeshadow like it was the best product she has found to date. If I do decide to take another chance, I'd likely play it safe and choose a matte shade. I can handle some amount of "shimmer," but I feel I'm a bit too old and I don't get dressed up enough to decorate my eyes with glitter. (I cannot stress enough: This was straight up large specks of GLITTER - almost like you'd find in a craft store or in young teens' cheap & trendy makeup - mixed in with an otherwise nice looking shimmery/pearlescent color.) I'm just worried I'll get another used product... or that the product was otherwise kept in unsanitary/uncertain conditions before I received it. I just don't understand how this issue could happen so often. (Search thru the product reviews for yourself and count the number of complaints. You may not find it to be excessive, but I do. It really should be more of a rare occurrence. I haven't found this many complaints of used/questionable products when researching other cosmetics I'm also interested in trying.) Also, avoid the shimmery sheer light pink color... unless you're ok with random large specks of glitter. Then maybe go for it. The overall main color appeared nice with some shimmer to it already.

The color is perfect the product is blendable

Not the color I ordered so expensive item of no use and no returns. Really pissed off

Like how it goes on, lasts all day, great color. Instead of using the blending sponge on the stick I used one of my brushes & found it blended great. A number of reviewers noted that it's difficult to remove. I use Micellar Water for all my makeup removal & found it worked quite well on this shadow. Disappointed I can't get some other colors I want or they're very expensive in comparison to the "Stone" color. I looked around on Amazon and found a similar product "Palladio" which from the reviews seems similar to Julep at a much lower price. I'm going to purchase from them & see how their product fairs in comparison.

Easy to apply and stays put all day with no smearing. I use the taupe shimmer. It is a subtle shimmer and suitable for any occasion. I use it everyday and hope it never goes out of stock.

Great natural look color... Stayed on all day... Have bought several times... And will again.
