How to Apply Shadow Stick for Easy Eye Looks

Quick Answer

For an easy eye look, swipe the tartelette shadow stick directly onto your lid and blend with your fingertip or a brush. Its creamy texture doubles as an eyeliner for added versatility.

Step-by-Step Shadow Stick Application

1. Prep Your Lid: Start with a clean, dry eyelid. If you have oily lids, dust a light layer of translucent powder to help the shadow stick adhere and last longer. Skipping this step can cause the creamy formula to crease faster on oily skin.
2. Apply the Shadow Stick: Twist up a small amount of product and draw a line directly across your upper lash line, then fill in the rest of the lid with short strokes. Use the tip to line the lower lash line if desired. Apply less than you think you need—you can always build up the color, but removing excess is tricky.
3. Blend and Set: Use your ring finger or a fluffy brush to gently blend the edges of the shadow. Work quickly while the formula is still creamy. For a more defined look, skip blending on the lash line and only soften the crease. Blending too aggressively can remove the product entirely; use a light tapping motion instead of sweeping.
