Julep Eyeshadow 101 Cream-to-Powder Waterproof Shadow Stick – Clay Matte – Long-Lasting, Crease-Proof, Natural Matte Eyeshadow with Built-in Smudger by Julep

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.

This is the perfect color for me. The product itself stays on nicely. It isn’t hard to work with at all. You can use the other end and blend, but I use a very small brush and add this right on my eyelash line on the top. Then I gently tap it a few more times across the same area and blend with another brush. Because it is a cream, it blends very well while it’s still newly on. Once it sets in, though, you have lost your blend window, which is exactly what I would want from a cream eyeshadow. I then take the small brush again and make a wing line upwards. Use a different color shadow that I tamp into the eyelid, then crease, and on that goes. Then blend it all. I use a shade just lighter than this to use on my watermark, and poof, I have eyelashes. (I have blonde eyelashes. It has taken me decades to get it right.)

This product is so valuable to me that I keep three extra on hand at all times. I cannot go without it.
The value is perfect for the price. I love this. The only thing that scares me is ..what if they stop making it .. lol.

It can be used alone as a shadow by itself, and I have done that. On cocktail night, this whole routine I do for the day goes out the window, and this becomes the star of my eyes. I have always felt like black is just way too harsh for shadow and liner unless you actually have true black hair. I also have this in shimmer and very light for the corners of my eyes and below my eyes. I don’t wear anything on my lower eyes other than this brand, in very light. No mascara either. (I also set this cream shadow/liner with either a clear setting powder or a navy of the same color. I found that if I do it helps since I wear all cream everything. If you don’t wear cream foundation, you likely won’t need to set it in. Sometimes I also use primer to help set it in. That is cocktail night because during the day I don’t have patience for primer.)

Not the color I ordered so expensive item of no use and no returns. Really pissed off

This eyeshadow is a total win! I am a very low-maintenance makeup girly and this stick makes using eyeshadow super fast and easy-while not sacrificing pigment or quality. The eyeshadow also comes with a blending sponge on the other end and this is needed to get the eyeshadow to blend appropriately. I loved the eye color guide- I used this when picking out a color. Sometimes selecting a color is super overwhelming -especially for someone who doesn’t know what colors look best on them. The color so far is staying on great and I did not use an eye primer. While the price point is a little higher than others it’s worth it! Very happy so far and hope to get more colors at a later date!

This was highly rated and recommended so I tried it. I’m so glad I did! The color is absolutely gorgeous! Especially for blue eyes! Glides on with ease and lasted all day with no creasing! Would definitely buy again and highly recommend the Rose shimmer! It was a great product for the money!
