e.l.f. No Budge Matte Shadow Stick, One-Swipe Cream Eyeshadow Stick, Long-Wear & Crease Resistant, Matte Finish, Vegan & Cruelty-Free, Cool Beans

I’ve used Thrift Shop and Cool Beans since late 2024 and recently added Out of Sight. Working 12-hour shifts in a body shop office environment, I need makeup that is as reliable as the tools in the shop. These shadow sticks are a true set it and forget it staple for my professional routine. ​The application is incredibly fast for a busy morning. The formula is creamy and glides on without tugging, which I really appreciate. I simply swipe the color onto my lids and give a quick dab with my finger to prevent any initial creasing. Once they set, the matte finish remains perfectly in place for the full 12 hours. The colors are true to the stick and stay vibrant without fading or migrating. ​Crucially for someone who wears eyeglasses all day, there is zero transfer to my frames and absolutely no raccoon effect or smudging under my eyes by the end of the shift. Even with sensitive eyes, I have experienced no irritation or watering. I typically pair these with a brown or burgundy mascara for a soft, polished look that coordinates well with my daily uniform polos in varying solid colors. ​These offer impressive, dependable quality at a very affordable price point. If you want a clean, professional eye look that survives a long workday without mid-day touch-ups, I highly recommend these.

This fits my need for a soft, matte, easy-to-apply eyeshadow stick which stays on and does not melt into creases. Thrift Shop is a nice neutral shade for me; I am not too keen on the other colors though - too crayon-like, except for Cool Beans - which makes a nice eye liner shade. I do wish e.l.f. would make a deep forest green color - I would use this color as an eyeliner shade. As it is, I have to purchase a competitor's product to get the green color I want to use. e.l.f. makes nice products overall and is cruelty-free.

I bought the dark brown, green, and dark blue. Here's the thing, the quality control over these doesn't seem precise. The brown was dried out and difficult to apply, kinda patchy but not too bad. I was able to layer it and added bronze shimmer over it to attempt to cover up some of the patchiness, and it worked alright. It's the exact brown I love to use so I'm keeping it, maybe I'll get better luck warming it up or wetting it. See photos for detail. The green is creamy, applies perfectly, and looks fairly similar to the photo however it's not as pigmented as the ad makes it seem. I applied it over white primer and it helped a little but made it look more pastel or ashy, like it didn't apply over the primer but mixed it into itself even though it was properly dry and set before applying the green. Also, still like it and will continue to try to make it work. The dark blue is a dream, I love the color. The application is a little bit between both the above, a little creamy but dried out enough to tug on application and be a little patchy. All shades stay on exceptionally well. I have oily deep set very hooded eyes and even with my go to primer and application methods that never fail me, it does still end up kinda stuck into my lid crease which is disappointing but not too unexpected for this formula. However, the rest stays put on my eyelid all day long without much problems. Didn't smear, streak, run, dissolve, or end up on my glasses (and I have eye allergies and very watery eyes so that's a big plus). Came off fairly easily with micellar water. I would suggest these but maybe buying in store will get your a fresher batch that isn't dried out and patchy.

Beautiful dark teal shadow stick that I use to line my blue-green eyes. It isn’t real light and bright- is a medium ocean teal shade. Quality product at a reasonable price.

This applies smoothly and seems to stay in place well (though I haven't done yard work in it, which is my final boss in the game of eyeliner). Price is reasonable. I'm just disappointed that the color is more of a dark teal than a true navy blue.

True to its name no budge no smear stays in place easy to remove. Don't roll the crayon out too far or it will break off be careful of that.

Flesh Colored I generally like these eye shadows but this time the color just blends with my skin tone and it doesn’t show up as anything. No color. Was a waste of my money.

By far the best eyeliner or eye shadow Great color Easy to apply Elf products are the best

Muy buena pigmentación

Bellissima! Matitona super pastosa... io la metto nell'angolo dell'occhio o come base per intensificare l'ombretto. Essendo molto morbida si sfuma bene ma se non settata con polveri o primer, tende a sparire. Il colore lime mi piace un sacco, consigliata!

Wat een geweldige kleur

Un ottimo prodotto a un piccolo prezzo. Si stende e sfuma bene. Colore neutro che fa da base egregiamente. Durevole

I have two shades of the elf matte eyeshadow sticks. One I purchased in a store and after testing I was convinced to get more. E.l.f. is one of the 2 brands I'd go for to repurchase eyeshadow sticks. The colours last all day, and stay put even on my hooded eyes. Great quality.
