A drugstore eyeshadow find!!

All about my haircut and style

I know this is OLD news at this point but I love a cream eyeshadow stick like nobody’s business. It’s so easy and leaves a really dimensional finish on the eye with almost no effort!

For the past few months I’ve been using NudeStix in Burnish or Nudity, both are absolutely beautiful and don’t crease. I’ve been asked about a drugstore version and honestly couldn’t find a stick that wasn’t pure glitter for awhile. There are a few options for cream eyeshadow in pots, but very few sticks.

I finally found Maybelline Color Tattoo concentrated crayons and they are great for the $7.00 price tag. The color payoff is beautiful, they do NOT budge, and all you need to do is draw it on and blend it out with your finger or a brush.

Easy, peasy.

I’m wearing Bronze Truffle in these photos, but also picked up Barely Beige while I was shopping. It’s a lighter shade that would look gorgeous as a base or alone on the eye.

So, if you have been looking for a cheaper alternative for an eyeshadow stick, definitely try these. There are a few other colors, but these two are the more neutral, easy-to-wear shades I found from the range!

The colors of those look beautiful! Cream eyeshadow is always so great to travel with too since you don’t need to bring a makeup brush!
I can’t wait to pick these up! xAllie

The new ELF No-Budge shadow sticks are amazing too.; no chunky glitter in sight and they really do not budge!

I used to love the nyx jumbo eye pencil in mocha. Only thing is that it is very creamy and is more likely to crease if you don’t set it or if you have oily lids. But it’s a beautiful color and very budget friendly! Will definitely have to try the Maybelline ones.

I love the color tattoo eyeshadow! I didn’t know they had it in the crayon form. I use barely beige the most and sometimes even as a primer/layer. I’m going to go get snag one of those! Thanks for sharing!
Love,

I saw you talk about these on instastories and picked them up. I really love them but they are so fragile! One broke on me during my 2nd time using it. Thanks once again for another great find!

Too bad Maybelline test on animals. Is paying for those painful, unnecessary tests okay or worth it?

Love your hair! Can you make another curling video to show these looser curls on midlength hair?

I love cream eyeshadow for ease and how it looks when first applied. I have trouble with it creasing after a few hours though. Any tips?

Try using an eyeshadow primer first!

I bought this in ‘Smoky Chocolate’ and it makes my brown eyes pop! I also love the Essie Gel Couture line that you have recommended. Thank You Kate!

I may have to get this as I am traveling soon and really don’t want to take a whole bunch of makeup with me. Thinking I will tape the top closed so it doesn’t break along the way. Not sure if that will work or not though.

Nice Post . The best thing with light eyeshadows is that these look good with bright and colourful outfit. Thank you very much for the tips.
