Review on GOSH Forever eyeshadow stick + quick and simple how to

Since the first time I swatched these sticks in the store I have been asking myself: "Why aren't anybody talking about this!?"

These eyeshadow sticks are crazy pigmented!! I just can't stop raving about them! They come in different matte and shimmery colors. All very useful in creating different eye looks.

I have three different colors:

As you may be able to see on my swatches those matte colors are to die for. I use the shade "nougat" the most and did my "how to" with this color as well. Unfortunately it was a very bright day and I did have some troubles taking a good picture.

Btw you will probably notice that I'm not the greatest photographer and I'm just using a standard iPad. I am editing my pics a bit, so you can see details a little better.

The matte colors are also great as a base for your eyeshadow. They are really long lasting and don't smudge.

The shimmery shadows are very shimmery - actually kind af glittery - which I don't use that much at this moment. But sometimes when I want a bit of "pop" I will apply the shimmer shadow from the inner corner of my eye, blending it in to around the middle of my eyelid - just above my pupil. I don't use it to highlight my brown one or anything like that. It's to glittery and pigmented for that in my opinion.

Quick tutorial on how I apply the stick some mornings when I'm in a crazy rush and don't have time and just want a bit of shadow and definition.

Firstly I apply the stick in the outer corner of my eye. Where you see the star. I just apply two lines that point outwards like a sideways "V".

Then I just blend it. I am using a Morphe Brush here, but any kind of blending brush will do. I am slanting the brush. That way I am more in control of the way the bristles are moving.

Finished look. A nice quick and simple "no makeup" look. After blending the shadow towards the middle of the eye, I would advice on applying a quick dust af a lighter shade or nude shade from the inner corner and out. I already had some old eyeliner on which I just retouched for this look.

That was quick, right?!

I give GOSH Eyeshadow sticks 4,5 out of 5:
