A while back I picked up some of the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour Eyeshadows. I was also sent two shades to review. As you know from my recent Makeup Wars Favorite Cream Eyeshadows post, I fell in love with this product!

Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Stick Colours EyeShadows Cream Color Pencils

The Website Says
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colours are an eye pencil that offers a new technique to enhance the smoky eye look. Inspired by Laura Mercier’s cult classic Caviar Eye Liner, Caviar Stick Eye Colour is offered in a range of beautiful shades and in a creamy formula to provide endless options for a flawless smoky eye. Each convenient stick is long-wearing, transfer-proof, and crease-resistant. The color glides onto lids and blends easily with a rich pigment-payoff. This product was dermatologist-tested and is cruelty-free.

Ways to use

  • * Apply directly to lash line for a smoky liner effect, or all over eyelid for higher impact.
  • * Blend with the Smoky Eye Liner Brush or fingertips for a smoldering finish.
  • * Use alone or together with Laura Mercier’s Caviar Eye Liner.

My Thoughts
In short, I love the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour eyeshadows! I love the colors! I find them extremely easy to work with. The only color that was slightly disappointing was Orchid. It was a bit more sheer than I expected. Mint Snow is sheer, but for some reason I expected it to be, and it is still very easy to work with and layers beautifully with Sugarpill Mochi.

As you all know by now, I have oily lids. I HAVE to use eyeshadow primer. Without primer, I would be a hot mess. These products can be worn by themselves on primer, or used as a base. They work REALLY well for smoky looks, as you can tell by the purple and teal look above. If you do not have oily lids, I think you could easily use these as primer. They also work as liner. So if you use an angled eyeshadow brush, you can run that across the tip of the Caviar Stick and then apply it to your lash line.

The Caviar Stick Eye Colours are easily my favorite product that Laura Mercier has created and I hope the color selection continues to expand. There are a lot of really beautiful colors available for all seasons!

  1. I’ve been wanting to try these out! I have read great reviews on them, thanks for the swatches!

  3. Absolutely gorgeous on you! You manage to take products that I’ve written off as not needing to take a look at when I go to the mall & put them back on to my list to at least swatch & take a look see! While your uber bright looks are way out of my comfort zone I enjoy looking at them on you. I hope that doesn’t sound stalkerish – totally isn’t meant that way! The 2 with Smoke & Sand I could see myself wearing & enjoying even at work. I think either Rose Gold Cosmopolitan or the look above with Smoke & Sand Glow are my 2 current favs!
    I want to swatch her new creme lipsticks (yes, I know they’re not new) but will add these to the list! 
    I’m sure you hear this often but your pics are always crisp & I find them to be very true to color – I very much appreciate that when I’m comparing colors online.

  7. These look great on you! I have Steel and I feel like it’s too sheer and doesn’t do much, but I’m now tempted to try some other colors because the ones you swatched seem more vibrant.

  8. So I notice you’re mixing these w/ powder shadows/pigments. Do they have to go on mostly bare skin, or have you been able to layer them over powder? That would be impressive! (Love the blending on the purple/teal look, btw!)

  9. Darn, I meant to buy Rose Gold during the Sephora VIB sale. It’s so pretty.

  10. I’ve heard so many raves. I absolutely adore Sand Glow and Rose Gold, both are just stunning and they’re the types of colors I know I’d get a ton of use from. I actually saw Sand Glow on Mostly Sunny and that’s what put it on my radar

  11. Hey Phyrra, so glad to see you love these too! I got Sand Glow and I like how it looks a little different on everyone. On some people it’s more taupe, but on you and me it seems more bronzy than anything else 🙂
    I need a primer and eyeshadows if I want Sand Glow to stay put for 12+ hours, but on its own it’s definitely fine for 8+. Admittedly not the longest-lasting shadow pencil I have tried (that’d have to be MUFE and Tarte), but I love how sophisticated and complex all the shades seem to be in this range, and I want MOAR!
