The long-wear claim in beauty is much abused – because eyelids have a whole little oil secretion system of their own going on, that varies from individual to individual, the longevity can vary from person to person.
These Autograph Marks & Spencer Cream Eyeshadow Sticks truly are long-wear with a formula that I found difficult to get off my arm after swatching. It’s hard to describe really – it feels almost waterproof. I use a primer as standard, but I think that these sticks are some of very few that could probably do without a base.
The two shades I have here are Sun Gold and Slate – Slate is less of a sheen than Sun Gold but both glide onto the lid. If you’re going to do any smudging, do it quickly, because they’re hard to move around after a certain point. Each of the pencils has a sharpener in the lid which is really handy, and the formula doesn’t feel too soft and oily. Personally, Slate is my favourite – it’s an easy wear for a dark full lid look, but the Autograph Marks & Spencer Cream Eyeshadow Sticks come in five shades; Sun Gold, Slate, Chocolate, Rose Pink and Soft Bronze.

These are pretty good value at £9.50 each compared to more premium shadow sticks but there’s an offer on (at the date of writing) to buy one, get one half price. If you love a stick shadow, get on it! They’re HERE.

A few years ago Estee Lauder did some lovely ones (I should know, I sold enough of them!) which were double this. The problem they had was they were round ended so you couldn’t use them as a liner if you wanted to. These are perfect, and love the two colours here too, slate being the one I’m drawn more to.
Would like to try these one! Need to find in store!
