Goes on smooth, lasts all day. I now have 6 colors and couldn't be happier. They blend well, are fast to apply, and are waterproof. One great part is that there isn't any messy powder fallout.

I'm in my 50's, dont want to put a lot of time into my makeup, cant see well enough anymore to do it like I used to anyway, and struggle to find products/formulations that work well with mature skin. Sadly, makeup (for the eye especially) just simply doesn't look/sit right after a certain age unless you're willing to put a lot of time into it. These eye sticks solve ALL those issues. They sweep on quickly, blend out easily to a more sheer color and/or layer for more pigment, and don't settle into lines. So far, it has lasted me all day (for the record, I normally do not wear any skin care under my makeup which may affect the blend-ability and wear. I also do not wear concealer or primer and have combo skin). Normally, I'd stay away from shimmers at my age but these blend out so nicely to a sheer that the shimmer is fresh/pretty and not overwhelming. The matte white is really nice on the brow bone and inner corners. Again, easily blends out sheer so it doesn't look "white" just well rested. I find that you cant really accidentally apply too much of this product as it blends out so well. I initially ordered 2 colors and loved them so much that I'm now up to 12, recommend them to all my friends and just ordered some for my 80yr old mother. My ONLY complaint is that they don't currently have a dark brown/cocoa/mocha in Matte. Why when its kind of a staple color?

Pros: Super easy to use. The eyeshadow literally glides on very easily with zero drag. Immediate color payoff and for shades that really show up on your skin, you need just one swipe. This part is definitely way better than the cheaper options (I've tried one other brand which was a fourth of the cost but is rough on my lids and requires a lot of back and forth to give me the same color payoff). They last long. I have not seen any issues with color fading through the day with these. Perfect for travel. I love throwing a couple of shades in my make up pouch without having to worry about packing a palette (and worrying about it opening and spilling all over) or brushes. Cons: As with any other make up product of course, some colors just don't match the payoff you see in advertised photos. Which wouldn't be as much of a problem if these weren't $15+ per eyeshadow. I have four colors - the Smoky Tawny Matte and Ochre Matte barely show up on my lids. Although the advertised photos show color pay off on darker lids, I personally find it much lighter than the photos on mine (I have the typical south asian dark lids). Orchid shimmer and Sheer blush pink look amazing on my lids. Looks like the shimmer shades definitely help add some dimension to any base colored lids. Personally the pros outweigh the cons for me and I love this product! I'll still use the shades that didn't give a lot of payoff for everyday looks. I use very few colors on my eyes so I'd much rather save money and buy more of these eyeshadow sticks than expensive palettes where I'll use maybe 2 out of 10-15 colors.

Julep is now my go-to brand for eyeshadow. I love how quick and easy it is to apply and layer. They have a whole line up of beautiful colors most of which are natural looking and very flattering. I appreciate that I don’t need an extra brush or anything extra tool to apply this product. It comes with a blending tool on one end so no extra tools necessary. It is compact and easy to throw in a purse or clutch. The only downside is because these are so compact, they tend to run-out faster than other, larger products. But I’ll take that for the size and convenience.

I love this so much. I want to buy more colors very soon. I highly recommend this. It is so smooth. Goes on very nicely. It dries quickly. It blends nicely. Everything is great. I love this so much. The texture is smooth. Quality is there softness is there it's not sticky. Not wet and gooey it does stay on very well as well But I love how easy it goes on it just glides on so smoothly and it blends very nicely. It dries quickly because it's moist going on but not sticky gooey and not tacky. It's very smooth luxuriously feeling so very good quality. I've actually slept before and I wake up and I just put my make up on so it works great I highly recommend

At age 65, the NARS multi-stick in Orgasm I’ve relied on for decades now has too much sparkle for my lids, so I bought this PUTTY MATTE eye crayon when revamping the super minimal, two-minute makeup kit I use for backpack traveling. It didn’t make the cut. First, the formula has staying power and remains relatively matte (there’s still a slight sheen) only when applied over primer. Second, the formula is stiff; takes more time and effort to blend out than the multi-stick or powder/liquid shadows. Blender end is useless; have to use a eyeshadow brush. Putty Matte is an exact match to my medium Caucasian skin tone. If I’m home in my bathroom lab with time to do a 20 minute no-makeup look, this product works well when paired with a slightly darker color in the crease.

I love love love this eyeshadow. Could not find a good shade for the life of me in the stores and I like the powder kind. The taupe shimmer color on my hazel eyes is perfect and there is no creasing plus it lasts all day for me. The shimmer is very minimal. I was worried it would be too glittery but not at all! The sponge blender is great, but I find using my fingers evens out the color better. And I like with the stick I can pin point areas directly which can be more difficult for me with a brush. I'm not a make up artist by any means so this makes my life easier getting ready for the day. I will definitely be buying again!

Merci

Like how it goes on, lasts all day, great color. Instead of using the blending sponge on the stick I used one of my brushes & found it blended great. A number of reviewers noted that it's difficult to remove. I use Micellar Water for all my makeup removal & found it worked quite well on this shadow. Disappointed I can't get some other colors I want or they're very expensive in comparison to the "Stone" color. I looked around on Amazon and found a similar product "Palladio" which from the reviews seems similar to Julep at a much lower price. I'm going to purchase from them & see how their product fairs in comparison.

Upper eye shadow

Easy to apply and stays put all day with no smearing. I use the taupe shimmer. It is a subtle shimmer and suitable for any occasion. I use it everyday and hope it never goes out of stock.

I love the way this glides over the lids and looks subtle yet stunning.
