Working with Shadesticks

Re: Shadestick help...

I agree with the tip to roll them between the palms of your hands to warm up the product. I also apply them directly to my eyelid, and just use different amounts of pressure depending on the look I'm going for.

If you decide you still don't like shadesticks I can help you find a good home for them...

lol

i usually sit on my shadestick while i work on my foundation, blush, etc. lol...warms it up without bringing out extra tools and yeah apply it directly to your eyes.

I roll mine between my palms but still find that some work better than others. My Corn is amazing but Overcast is all patchy and such. I'm going to try the blowdryer trick next.

shadesticks are like bases for your e/s. it glides on really smoothly and it is really easy to blend. My favorite shadestick is the sea me shadestick. they dont list it online but i see it at the counters all the time. which color are you planning on buying?

I have a love hate relationship with shadesticks. Some are so rough to apply. I learned a tip a while back to rub the shadesticks in between your hands to soften them a bit so they go on smoother. The color choices they used to have were amazing. My favorites are sharkskin and royal hue.

Sea Me is a bright turquoise. It has been discontinued, but is still available at Nordstrom.com.
