Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye ShadowsI’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 Caviar Stick Eye Shadow Review

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadow reviewThe formula is effortlessly creamy and smooth gliding across the eye without tugging or skipping. There are matte and shimmer finishes available and the colors are all incredibly wearable. The matte finish shades are incredibly creamy and don’t look too flat or too dry looking on the lids. The shimmer shades deliver a high-impact shimmer finish to the lids with just one swipe. They provide an illuminating glow to the eyes without being too shimmery or glittery. It’s easy to apply a sheer wash of color at first but adding a second layer will intensify the look and color payoff. There is plenty of time to blend without having to worry about them setting too quickly but once they do, they definitely last all day without any creasing.

Price Point

These are a mid range price point at $33. (you can use my discount code: MAREE20 for 20% off)

Shade Range

Most of the shades are neutral and easy to wear colors. If you want something bright and vibrant, you will probably have to try another brand because these are all standard neutral shades.

Longevity

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. They definitely last a long time for me without creasing or having to touch up.

Packaging

Like most similar products, these are a simple twist up eyeshadow stick.

Intensity

These eye shadow sticks are richly pigmented and you can apply one swipe for a true representation of the color. You can build them up for a more intense look as well.

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Shadow Swatches

Laura Mercier Caviar Stick swatchesAs someone who lives for neutral everything (makeup, clothing, home decor, etc), I love that all the shades of the shadow sticks are super wearable and perfect for day or night. If you are someone who loves a bright or vibrant eyeshadow look, you unfortunately won’t find a color to fit the bill in this lineup. But that doesn’t mean you still won’t be able to create a bold eye combination with these shades. They are super pigmented, creamy and blend effortlessly.

But don’t be hesitant to wear the shimmer shades for daytime, they are luminous without being overly glittery. There is enough time when you first apply to blend, but once the shadow sticks set, they will not move. Even in the heat and humidity, they definitely stay put and don’t crease. Here is a list of all the shades in the range:

How To Use Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Shadow Sticks

Apply On the Lid or Lash Line

I like to use them all over the lid but they would also work as a liner on the bottom lash line or upper lash line. With such a soft formula, they smudge easily which makes it easy to create a gorgeous smokey eye. Apply it on the upper and lower lash line, smudge with your finger, a q-tip or brush and you get a very quick and easy smokey evening look.

Wear Alone or Layered

They are pigmented enough to wear by themselves but also make great primer shadows if you want to apply powder shadow over top.

Prep Your Lids

These are quite long lasting but if your eyelids are exceptionally oily, it could be a good idea to just dust a loose setting powder over them before applying the shadow sticks.

Blend With Your Fingers or a Brush

These shadow sticks are easy to work with and can blended out with your finger or a makeup brush. It comes down to whatever you prefer.
