I’m a huge one and done eyeshadow gal. I will occasionally do a more complicated eye look with multiple colors but most of my everyday makeup looks are done with only one eyeshadow. That is why I love eyeshadow sticks so much. They are easy to swipe on, blend out and go. The Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadows are a long time favorite of mine and also a best seller for the brand for years and years. If you have never tried Laura Mercier’s Caviar Stick Eye Shadows before they are a super creamy and blendable eyeshadow that you can wear alone or layered under a powder eyeshadow. They are quite emollient so I prefer to actually use a primer underneath to prevent creasing but they do last all day long and are easy to apply with just your fingers or a brush if you prefer.
Laura Mercier Rose Glow Caviar Sticks
There are a ton of shades both matte and metallic in the Caviar Stick Eye Shadows but the Laura Mericer RoseGlow Caviar collection is absolutely gorgeous. All the shades are neutral rose tones and skew slightly warm making them perfect to wear everyday while the slightly deeper tones are stunning for evening. The provide an illuminating glow to the eyes without being too shimmery or glittery. The Caviar Stick formula is meant to be long wearing for up to 12 hours. I like wearing them alone but they also work well as a base under a powder eyeshadow to intensify the color. As someone who has never really liked pinky/rose eyeshadows, I wasn’t sure I would enjoy this collection. But after testing it out, I came to LOVE the warm rosy glow that the shadows give to the eyes.
Caviar Stick Eye Color
Swatches from left to right: Rose Thorn, Forbidden Rose, Bed of Roses, Kiss From a Rose, Wild Rose, Strike a Rose and Rose Glow Highlighting Powder
There are a total of 6 shades in the Laura Mercier RoseGlow Caviar Stick Eye Shadow collection. They all contain shimmer but the glow is subtle and not overly glittery. My personal favorite shade is Wild Rose and the one that I wear the most. It’s easy to throw on for everyday and works with almost any cheek and lip combo. Here’s a breakdown of all the shades in the RoseGlow Caviar Stick Eye Shadow range and a short description of each one.
Bed Of Roses
Metallic Pink Rose – A great mid tone color that would work well on a ton of different skin tones.
Forbidden Rose
Shimmering Copper Rose – For those that want a bit more drama, this coppery rose is beautiful and rich. It’s definitely a great option for a smokey eye or just add a touch to the outer corners of the eye to deepen up your look.
Strike a Rose
Shimmering Terracotta Rose – Another mid tone shade that skews VERY warm. I personally love it but it does have deep orange undertones which not everyone may prefer.
Kiss From a Rose
Shimmering Petal Pink Rose – Besides Wild Rose, this is the other shade that I wear the most. It’s light and easy to wear for everyday.
Wild Rose
Shimmering Champagne Rose – This is my favorite shade out of the entire range and I love how versatile it is. I will often wear it day to day with a subtle cheek and lip, but it also looks amazing worn with a bold red lip.
Rose Thorn
Shimmering Plum Rose – This is the deepest color out of the collection and looks best smudged along the lash line or applied to the outer corners of the eyes. It’s a nice change from a traditional brown but is still neutral enough to go with either browns/taupes or plums/purples.
In addition to the RoseGlow Caviar Stick Eye Shadows, there is a highlighting powder called Rose Glow and it is stunning! It’s luminescent and radiant without being too glittery. Though there is a hint of rose/pink in it, I find it still looks great on the cheekbones as a traditional highlighter or even dusted on the lids for a shimmery pop of brightness. The entire Laura Mercier RoseGlow collection consists of the RoseGlow Caviar Stick Eye Shadows, the RoseGlow Liquid Highlighters, the RoseGlow Highlighter Powder and the RoseGlow Blush Color Infusion.
Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Stick Swatches
In addition to the RoseGlow Caviar Stick Eye Shadows, there are a ton of other shades available from Laura Mercier to try. There is a mix of shimmer shades, chrome shades, intense shades and matte shades to choose from. I pulled the above swatches from an earlier blog post to show more options to choose from if you are loving this formula.
Nude Rose
Pink Gold Shimmer – This particular finish is VERY glittery and fun for a festive night out.
Burgundy
Rich Cranberry – Sadly I can’t seem to find this one anymore so it may be discontinued.
Violet
Shimmering Dark Purple – Another shade that they may have discontinued but Plum is a very similar.
Sienna
Burnt Orange Shimmer – The most gorgeous shimmery copper color.
Golden
Golden Yellow Shimmer – The shade skews very yellow but looks great as a base.
Turquoise
Bright Green Blue – I believe this shade was limited edition so it’s no longer available.
Magenta
Fuchsia Shimmer – Definitely not a color for everyday, but fun for those that want a pop of color.
Indigo
Vibrant Bold Blue – I believe this shade was limited edition so it’s no longer available.
Sunrise
Peach Shimmer – I love this shade and it looks so beautiful on the lids.
Pearl
White Pearl Shimmer – I use this shade on the inner corner of my eyes to brighten them.
Raspberry
Pink Berry Shimmer – Since the Burgundy shade was discontinued, this is also a great alternative option.
Sunbeam
Gold Shimmer – This is VERY shimmery for daytime and is best suited for an evening out or a festive makeup look.
For all my matte formula lovers, there are plenty of matte shades available too. This formula is even creamier than the shimmer shades and blends like a dream. I did an entire blog post reviewing them in depth if you want more information. I thought I would share a look at some of the shades available with more info about each.
Peach
Bright Peach – This looks bright on the swatch but is a bit more natural and easy to wear when it’s on the lid.
Au Naturel
Neutral Beige – A great everyday shade.
Dune
Warm Sand – Still slightly warm but not as vibrant as Peach. A great color to even out the eyelids and create a smooth base.
Dark Cacao
Dark Red Brown – Rich and gorgeous. This is the most perfect intense brown liner color! Apply with an angled brush for perfect precision.
Vanilla Kiss
Cream – This is the color that I wear the most and it acts almost like a concealer for me on my lids. It helps to tone down and uneven skin tone and hide any veins.
Midnight Blue
Navy Blue – For those that love a dark blue liner, this shade is a must have!
Laura Mercier Best Sellers Not To Miss
In addition to the Caviar Stick Eye Shadows, here are a few other best selling products from Laura Mercier not to miss:
1. Translucent Loose Setting Powder
A best seller year after year. I’ve actually been using the Laura Mercier loose powder for nearly 10 years. It helps to set makeup for up to 16 hours.
2. Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free Natural Skin Perfector
This is the product many people know of when they talk about Laura Mercier makeup. Her brand was one of the first to launch a tinted moisturizer as an alternative to traditional foundation. This is the oil-free version that works really well for those with oily skin.
3. Tinted Moisturizer Natural Skin Perfector SPF 30
If you prefer SPF in your makeup, this is a great option. The coverage on the Tinted Moisturizers is sheer to light but can be built up a bit to provide adequate coverage and even out the skin tone.
4. Blush Color Infusion
I have a few of these blushes and love the formula. As someone that usually wears cream blushes at this point, I still regularly use these powder blushes because the formula is so smooth and lightweight. It blends beautifully and the shades are all super wearable and perfect for everyday.
5. Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation
To be honest, I have not used this foundation but it’s definitely on my list to try. I hear so many great things about it! It’s a lightweight waterproof and long wearing foundation that gives medium buildable coverage.
6. Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Concealer
This is a medium to full coverage concealer that can be used under the eyes but also on the face to spot treat. It’s crease-resistant and long wearing. A great product to pair with the Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Foundation.
7. Tinted Moisturizer Bronzer
This product took me a bit to get into, but after figuring out how best to use I love it. It’s a VERY lightweight and sheer liquid bronzer. It gives just a touch of color and is incredibly hydrating without being greasy or shiny. A great option for those that want something very natural for everyday.
