I bought two and at first I loved these eyeshadow sticks, until one of them came apart from the holder, then eventually the same thing happened to the other one. These sticks have never left my home, they stay with my make-up in an organizer in my bathroom so there's no good reason why they'd come apart.

First time purchasing a stick eyeshadow and I'm very happy with the formulation, staying power and colour (latte).

I had almost given up on wearing eyeshadow, as I've gotten older and the glimmery formulas I've always loved just didn't work anymore. This goes on so smoothly and stays put and looks great. I got the Rose color. It's kind of pricey for a one color shadow, but it is getting used instead of sitting in the drawer.

Considering all the "cult" eyeshadow sticks featured in the world of beauty and Estée Lauder being the God mother of all, I had high expectations for the Essentials eyeshadow sticks. It's just ok. I purchased Hazelnut, which is displayed as #2 on the EL makeup site. In my opinion the hazelnut hue represents #4 Espresso. If this is an error on EL site it should be fixed please as it appears these two colours are mixed up? The eyeshadow itself is surprisingly small - I know this because with only two weeks of use it slid out of its plastic casing. This was also surprise as it's kept tip up in a makeup drawer holder and not rolling around in a bag.

I was excited when Estée Lauder rolled out this product. It's definitely creamy and I like it better than two other brands I have tried, however, I'm a bit disappointed in the color. I selected Sugarplum, however, it appears more of a terra cotta color than mauve. It could be how my skin absorbs the color. I'll definitely try another color, but am hoping Estée Lauder will produce additional colors - blues, grays, etc.

I recently purchased three of the eyeshadow sticks and they last and stay put all day. I have used other brands and they do not have the blendability and staying power. They are easy to use and look beautiful all day. Definitely enhances me blue eyes

These are my favourite and I've tried a lot of eyeshadow sticks. Buttery, smooth, easy to blend, set, and such a natural look. 10/10!

Estee Lauder hit it out of the park with the cute eyeshadow stick. She's ready to go anywhere and really packs a punch in a pinch. She plays well with others and stands out on her own. You can go for a bold look or smudge her out for a smokier more blended appearance. She dries down nicely after a few moments and doesn't feel heavy or greasy. I'd love to try some lighter shades to create more natural looks and to pair with cold brew. I received this product for free from Estee Lauder for testing and review purposes.

It takes a lot to impress me with eyeshadows. So many eyeshadows crease, they don't last or they disappear on my eyelids. I've been using this for the last three weeks, and I can say this lasts on my eyes the entire day. For at least 12+ hours. It even makes my liquid eyeliner stay on. That is a miracle in itself. I have been struggling with making my liquid eyeliner day on. This is done the job. I will be ordering more colors in this very soon. You have made a believer out of me. I am 58 years old and this is the solution to creasing, oily eyelids. Thank you, Estée Lauder I have received this product for free from Estée Lauder for testing and review purposes.

I received this product for free from Estee Lauder for testing and review purposes. When I first opened the package I instantly thought oh no. I went on vacation a couple of weeks ago and ended up getting pretty tan. Holy smokes did this work to my advantage! I ended up using the shadow stick as an eye primer and it worked amazing!! I have a bright red clump of blood vessels on my eyelid that would have to be surgically removed and even though it drives me crazy; I'm too old for that madness haha. The stick had a nice glide across my lid. I like the twist up packaging as well. It definitely covers well!! It feels silky and smooth, but yet stays put.
