Charlotte Tilbury's Exagger-Eyes Easy Eyeshadow Stick is back in stock after selling out, giving beauty fans another chance to get their hands on the effortless swipe-and-go shadow. The £27 Eyeshadow Stick simplifies a makeup look as it comes in a clever twist-up stick format, with no messy powder or brush required.
Shoppers that love the look of eye makeup but don't want to spend ages blending multiple shadows, the Exagger-Eyes Eyeshadow Sticks are designed to make creating an eye look as simple as scribbling and smudging, with the brand promising speedy application in seconds.
Shades and Finishes
The collection includes 12 shades split across two different finishes, meaning there's plenty of choice whether going for a subtle matte wash of colour or a more glowy look. The six matte blur shades are designed to sculpt and define the eyes, ranging from light and neutral tones through to deeper browns and burgundy.
Then there are six satin glow shades for anyone who prefers a little sparkle. Rather than needing a full palette, several brushes and a complicated routine, the cream formula glides directly onto the eyelid before being smudges and blended with minimal effort.
Long-Lasting Formula
The sticks have a domed tip to follow the curve of the eye and Charlotte Tilbury states the self-priming formula is crease-proof, waterproof and fade-proof with up to 24-hour wear. Charlotte Tilbury have suggested pairings across the collection, such as Cashmere Sculpt with Ballet Quartz, Nude Sculpt with Satin Diamonds and Milk Sculpt with Oyster Twilight.
Alternatives and Reviews
Other beauty brands have welcomed eyeshadow sticks into their collections, should the Charlotte Tilbury option sell out again. A popular choice is the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eyeshadow Shimmer (£29 at Boots). The product comes in 19 shades, all with a high-impact shimmer finish should that be a preference.
A little more expensive at £33 sits Victoria Beckham's Eyeshadow Stick. It has incredible reviews, rated 4.8 out of five by more than 4,000 people. This product comes in ten colours, two of which are a Victoria Beckham favourite.
Reviews for Charlotte Tilbury's Exagger-Eyes Shadow Sticks are also largely positive. One person said: "This eyeshadow is beautiful. The formula is soft and strong. The color is soft and neutral, perfect for any makeup for day or night. The packaging is so luxury, it feels rich and high quality. Its long lasting, all day. Recommend it!"
A second shopper shared: "The Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-Eyes Shadow Stick in Nude Sculpt is amazing! The packaging is sleek and convenient for on-the-go application. The shade is a beautiful, flattering neutral, and the wearability is effortles—it glides on smoothly and blends in seconds. It leaves a gorgeous, polished finish that stays put all day with zero crease or fading. Highly recommend!"
However, someone removed two stars, saying the product is 'okay. They wrote: "I have sensitive eyelids to makeup and so far I am okay with this on. It’s been an hour and no irritation. I don’t like the color on me, it’s like a muddy brown with tiny glitter.
The pencil is so thick it’s like eye shadow rather than eye liner. It goes on easily but a bit difficult to get a good line and it came out messy. I will use it again to see if I can get a better line. I would like to see the other colours."
Another five-star review reads: "This is the easiest eyeshadow look! The shade oyster twilight is stunning on the eyes and lasts! Such a comfortable formula that is easy to remove."
