Exagger-Eyes Easy Eyeshadow Stick. First things first, I don’t actually know what the official name is! The packaging vs. early access product listing differ slightly, so I’ve just stuck to the packaging.
Onto the formula: I really enjoy these, though as with any product, be aware of what you’re purchasing! These are definitely geared towards customers who prefer a sophisticated but more understated look. The sticks themselves glide very smoothly while depositing what feels like the perfect amount of pigment, so you get even and consistent coverage with a minimal amount of blending. The “Matte Blur” formula (Nude Sculpt and Cashmere Sculpt) is what I would describe as a natural matte finish, while the “Satin Glow” formula (Satin Diamonds and Oyster Twilight) is a bit more of a subdued glow. You won’t get that more metallic look that some eyeshadow sticks offer – but that’s exactly why I like them for every day wear. Satin Diamonds has a slightly more glimmery effect, but to be expected with a shade having “diamonds” in the name!
Where I think these really stand out is the color selection. In my experience, it’s a bit uncommon to find these more nuanced, muted tones in eyeshadow sticks (especially with shades like Nude Sculpt and Oyster Twilight).
When using eyeshadow sticks, I prefer to use one, maybe two shades, so I’m never layering these to a meaningful degree. I still use a primer personally because even though these have essentially a “life proof” claim, i.e. fade/water/smudge/transfer/sweat/humidity-proof formula, they are still not going to last a workday without creasing on my hooded eyes otherwise.
The packaging is very Charlotte Tilbury-coded with the faceted rose gold appearance, and while I understand it in addition to the nib on the end showing the color/finish, it’s a bit chunky.
I’ve also included comparisons between Oyster Twilight and Oyster Pearl. Overall, I find Oyster Twilight to have more of that glossy finish and is more longwearing compared to the Eyes to Mesmerize formula. Oyster Pearl also has that slightly antiqued tone.
What do you think of this release?
