Not to be dramatic but if I had to pick one cream eyeshadow to live with my entire life it might just be the new Bobbi Brown Dual-Ended Long-Wear Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow Stick! Bobbi Brown Dual-Ended Long-Wear Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow Sticks are a new take on the popular Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow Sticks but instead of one shade we’re getting two! These launched a few months ago in seven beautiful shades. I only picked up one shade and after trying it I hauled a back of that exact shade because I was scared they’d disappear. I haven’t yet dove into any other shades but don’t worry! I’ll get there shortly!

I hate to turn into my father with the “I remember when…” chats but I remember when the original Long-Wear Cream Eyesahdow Sticks were $28. Lucky enough the price hasn’t gone up too! They are still $32. However, I’m a little sad the Bobbi Brown Dual-Ended Long-Wear Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow Sticks, which are the same size, are $38. Why!? Sniff! 🙁 I’ll choose to ignore this because I am loving these too much to rant.

This formula feels more amazing than the original. It has two shades on either side. One is a matte and one a metallic sparkly shade. They twist up and down and have a dome shape so no sharpening is required. They are so creamy, so dreamy…! I feel like the original formula has been a little denser and drier in recent years but this formula takes me back to the original release in 2012. It’s soft, creamy, glides on like a dream, and blends so sweetly. Best part? You can do it all by swiping on and blending with your finger. No brush required. I used the Rusted Pink which is a soft reddish golden orange shimmery shade all over my lid and I accented the outer corner of my eye with Cinnamon which is a reddish brown matte. It’s so simple to create a beautiful eye look with these. If you have drier lids they’ll set within a few seconds for all day wear! I’d recommend a primer if you have oily lids as the formula is super creamy and will crease. The color is super pigmented and can be worn a bit sheerer or built up for a bolder impact.

I can’t rave this formula enough! I hope they introduce more shades because seven are simply not enough!

Bobbi Brown Dual-Ended Long-Wear Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow Stick are available now. Tried them? Do share!
