Shadestick Replacement

[IDontKnowMomo]

Since shadesticks are slowly being phased out, I was wondering if anybody knows of a good alternative for them.
Something with the same consistency, color payoff, and staying power, in a crayon-like form.

I'm so sad to see shadesticks go :[
I have about six and I love them all
I hope another company makes something similar.

TIA, I'm sure all the other shadestick lovers will be appreciative of your help, also.

Nyx jumbo pencils are similar. They have a creamier consistency though. I like that factor as sometimes Shadesticks were harder to apply. By themselves they crease on me, but with UDPP underneath they work great. Plus they are pretty cheap, and have a good assortment of colors.

I have switched over to NYX Jumbo pencils they are awesome and for the price you cant complain
They do have a creamier cosistency which can be worked out

as everyone has said, NYX jumbo pencil with a little UDPP or Too Faced shadow insurance and your all set. And the prce of one sahdestick is = to about 3 or 4 NYX jumbo eyepencils. and you can always get them on sale. And the colors are pretty dupeable as well

Omg I didn't know they were being phased out.. Aww

I swear by my Sharkskin!

This isn't in crayon form, but I used to swear by Shadesticks until a MAC MA told me to try Paint Pots. They actually last longer than s/s (6 hours vs. 8-9 hours) and since s/s are being discontinued it may be worth it just to check them out.

Anyway I just wanted to put that out there because once I tried my first p/p I've switched over to those and I love them! They take a little getting used to since they're so different to apply than the s/s but I've found that I absolutely adore them!

Yeah, I like my Paint Pots, but I will miss Shadesticks :[
I was considering trying NYX's Jumbo e/s Pencils, but I had heard that the creaminess made them not last as long, and I wasn't sure if UDPP could change the outcome.
Guess I will have to give them a try :]

thanks everybody, and if anybody else has any more suggestions, feel free to let me know!

Has anyone tried the Sephora jumbo eye pencils?

 

[user79]

I read that Estee Lauder makes a few toned down colours of these types of pencils, and since it's the same company, I bet they are very similar.

There are the cover girleye slicks which are fat pencils that you can use as a base. Though I have never used them for that purpose, I think they would be similar.

 

[mreichert]

NYX crayons are awesome! But, they will crease more than the shadesticks- it's a trade off for an easier application. Putting UDPP underneath does help.

I didnt know they were going to discontiue them.. dang.. i really like shimmersand..

Double Wear Stay-in-Place ShadowStick - Estée Lauder UK

The packaging even looks the same as MAC

I heard NYX's jumbo pencils are pretty good. I personally have Princessa's 3 in 1 pencil and it's pretty smooth. and cheap

Why are they getting rid of shadesticks??
& I have never ever seen NYX products anywhere, but have heard good things about them.
where are you all buying your NYX from?

A lot of beauty supply stores carry NYX, or you can order from Cherryculture.com.

 

[Caramel_QT]

I have heard that the NYX jumbo pencils are way better than the MAC ss. I have yet to try NYX prods but, just recently found a drugstore that has them so I'll be going there soon to check them out. I can't wait!!!

Avon has some:
AVON- Products

Their mark brand has these too:
AVON- Products

Another option is Jane Colorsticks. I have them, and they are great. NOT as concentrated in color as NYX jumbo ones (which I do own) BUT, its another alternative.
Avon has them on sale.
