Julep Eyeshadow 101 is a crème to powder formula built into a twist-up stick, with candelilla wax in the base to keep the texture soft and blendable. The shade, Champagne Shimmer, is a medium golden-beige with a shimmer finish. Vitamin C and vitamin E are included in the formula.
The stick applies directly to the lid without a brush. The creamy texture glides on, then sets down to a powder finish that is waterproof and resists creasing. A smudger is built into the opposite end for blending. To use it, coat the smudger with colour first, draw the stick across the lid, then blend with the smudger or a fingertip before the formula sets.
- One eyeshadow stick with a built-in smudger, shade Champagne Shimmer
- Part of a range of more than 30 shades across matte, shimmer and metallic finishes, so sticks can be collected into a custom palette
- Cap the stick after use and store it upright
The stick format suits anyone who wants a streamlined routine, including beginners, and the compact design makes it easy to carry and use without unpacking a larger kit. Because the formula sets down, the blending window is limited, so working one eye at a time and blending immediately after applying gives the best result. Building intensity by layering is also an option once the first pass has set, since the powder surface accepts additional product without disturbing the base.
Champagne Shimmer reads as a warm, neutral highlight tone, which means it works as an accent along the brow bone or at the inner corner of the eye as well as across the full lid. When comparing eyeshadow sticks of this type, checking whether a smudger is included in the product itself is a practical starting point, since some sticks require a separate tool for blending. The twist-up format also means the stick can be advanced only as much as needed, which reduces the risk of the product snapping during use.
