Don’t get us wrong; we love traditional eyeshadows. From multi-pan palettes to single shadows, glitter formulas, and everything in between, but some of these products aren’t very on-the-go or travel-friendly. Not only are powder eyeshadows more susceptible to breaking, but they can also be pretty messy, leaving you with ample fallout and a major hassle—especially if you’ve hit the snooze button before a big meeting one two many times and are running pretty late. Palettes may have all of the shades that you need (and probably more than you need) but they’re not exactly portable. They won’t fit in your purse, and when you pack them on your carry-on you run the risk of your pricey palette shattering into pieces—one of the worst beauty tragedies to experience.
Sure, you could use your favorite lipstick as a makeshift shadow, but then you’re compromising color payoff, pigmentation, and versatility. The best solution? A solid and long-wearing eyeshadow stick that you can easily toss in your handbag for touchups and on-the-go fixes. These lightweight, compact, and long-wearing sticks allow for the utmost color payoff in a limited amount of space. Scroll through below to check out our favorite formulas to add to your collection.
