Why is an eyeshadow stick so easy to use?

A stick allows you to apply the color directly where you want it. This means you don't need to pick up loose powder and require fewer steps. 

The Eyeconic Stick has a creamy, aquatically inspired texture that glides easily over the eyelid and dries quickly. The formula delivers intense pigment with a natural glow, and the stick has an integrated sharpener. Its compact size also makes it convenient to take with you.  

The Eyeconic Stick comes in no fewer than twelve shades: Bronze, Copper, Gold, Rosé, Taupe, Burgundy, Dark Blue, Grey, Light Blue, Light Bronze, Lilac, and Mauve.

How do you apply the Eyeconic Stick evenly?

Apply the color directly to the mobile eyelid using light strokes. Blend immediately with your fingertip or a brush, as the formula sets afterward. 

It is best to start with a small amount. Want more intensity? Build up the color layer by layer. The stick can be worn alone for a quick look or built up further for a more striking result.

Do you prefer working with a brush? A soft blending brush helps blur lines. For small, precise areas, a compact brush can be useful.  

How do you create a soft everyday look? 

Choose one shade and apply it across the mobile eyelid. Gently blend the edges so the color transitions smoothly into the skin. 

For a subtle look, light or natural shades are an accessible choice. For example: Light Bronze, Rosé, Taupe, Copper, Gold and Mauve.

Want a little more dimension in one go? Combine a lighter color on the mobile eyelid with a deeper shade at the outer corner of the eye.

How do you give your eyes extra definition?

Draw a fine line along the upper lash line with the Eyeconic Stick. This creates a soft liner look without the line appearing graphic or harsh. 

For a softer effect, you can smudge the line.

Use the Eyeconic Stick only on the eyelid or along the lash line. Do not apply the product to the inner waterline or directly into the eye.

How does your quick eye look stay looking great?

Blend immediately after applying and then give the formula a few seconds to dry. Once the color sets, the result remains long-lasting and waterproof.  

Afterward, avoid unnecessary rubbing of the eyelids. At the end of the day, gently remove your eye makeup with a Waterproof Make-up Remover, without rubbing your eyes hard.  

Tip: blend quickly, remove gently. 

Which Eyeconic approach suits you?

  • You want as few steps as possible: use one color all over and blend with your fingertip. 
  • You like soft definition: draw a soft liner along the upper lash line. 
  • You want a smokey effect without a complicated technique: apply color along the lash line and blend immediately. 
  • You want extra depth: combine two shades. 
  • You want a prepared base: start with Eyeconic Primer or Crème De La Crème Madeleine.
