Kiko Cosmetics’ Long Lasting Stick Shadow collection

I own about 20 of these colors - I bought the first batch last summer when they were on 50% off sale, and I bought the second batch a few weeks ago during another sale, because who doesn’t love sales? - but I haven’t swatched more than 10 of them. The color payoff is great and application is lovely and smooth…with the exception of some of the “pearl” shades. They’re a little chunky, like metallic eyeshadow pencils sometimes are. These work best for me over a primer. Nothing else will adhere to my hooded, oily lids all day! But I take that as a problem with my eyelids, not a particular failing of these products.

The colors stay smudgeable and blendable for about 5 or 10 minutes after application. After that point, they set up very nicely. The points are not meant to be sharp, so if you want to use these as liner shades, do what I do and use a liner or mini-smudge brush to apply the product rather than just using the stick. These do also retract back into the casing, and while I haven't had any for more than a year, I haven't found any drying out. The caps to noticeably click closed, so not only are they kept airtight, you won't have any purse- or pocket-accidents with the cap coming open.
