e.l.f. No Budge Shadow Stick, Longwear, Smudge-Proof Metallic Eyeshadow, Rose Gold, 0.05 Oz (1.47g)

Looks good and easy to use

Not a bad colour and lasts all day. Can be a little difficult to apply as becomes very solid.

Feels very light on the skin, great for day to day wear

Not nuch colour saturation. I likedthe colour but it was difficult to obtain the desired effect, even after using an eye primer.

I had the original version of this, in a black twist up holder, which was very easy to deposit on to my eyelids. However, this newer incarnation is unbelievably hard and unyielding. It simply doesn’t move away from its stick. It’s definitely NO BUDGE - it won't budge at all from its ‘lead’! Totally disappointed because I have always loved the rose gold colour. It’s a waste of money!

Love this product cos it applies so easy and colour is fantastic. Value for money and stays on for a long time. Blends really well. Nice velvety texture

Unfortunately, this eyeshadow stick is quite hard and doesn’t blend easily on the eyelid, making it difficult to achieve a smooth, seamless look. While it may work for very precise, small areas, it’s not ideal for creating soft or blended eye makeup. The pigmentation is decent, but the application can be frustrating, especially if you prefer a more effortless, buildable formula.

It’s years since I’ve used a pencil eyeshadow and after reading some reviews I decided to give it a go and bought a few different shades. They are easy to apply and don’t crease another great product
