Julep Eyeshadow 101 Crème-to-Powder Duo, Pearl Shimmer & Champagne Shimmer

Easy to apply, long wearing, pigments are great colors that can be worn together or separately. Glides on smoothly, stays on all day. Does not irritate my eyes or skin. Comes with one shimmer color and one matte color in the same family. Lets me do a quick smoky eye that looks great. And the pencils last a long time! Built in smudger tip is useful and a thoughtful touch. These were a great bargain!

I wanted a waterproof taupe cream eyeshadow (not necessarily a stick) and this deal finally popped up several pages into my search. I have a couple of Julep products i really like (blush sticks) and having seen many single Julep shadow sticks for about the same price as this duo, I really couldn’t resist. I was really late to the game but what I hoped to find was a dupe (or at least as close as possible) for the Pat McGrath metallic taupe shadow that much to my dismay, has been discontinued. I saw a youtube makeup influencer rave about the Pat McGrath shade, claiming it was the perfect “‘one and done” product especially for those with cool toned skin. So I spent some exhausting time trying to find the Pat McGrath shadow SOMEWHERE but nope, not a one to be found. Naturally the next step was to check amazon for something similar. I already loved the Julep multi stick blushes but buying makeup online (esp on Amazon) is pretty much a crap shoot. But since the words describing these two Julep shadow sticks ticked all the boxes, I figured, what the hay. When they arrived today, I was extremely happy that BOTH are fantastic colors for me and it’s really nice to have both a taupe matte and a shimmer option. I just hope these sticks wear as well as the blush sticks. The color of the matte taupe stick is what I consider neutral, meaning not warm but not cool either. The shimmer shade is definitely cool but I guess cool tones are finally in vogue again and I couldn’t be happier. This is a very creamy formula pretty much on par with the Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown formulas. And they are much much better than the Sephora brand shadow sticks, which I (unfortunately) tried first....don’t go there. These glide on and are great with and without a shadow primer. I get a sheerer wash when I don’t use a primer and more depth of color when I do. I can probably use these two sticks to do a very nice daytime as well as evening, smokey eye and probably in about 5 minutes (which is amazing...it takes me forever). The matte shade will probably be great for the lower lashline and I’m looking forward to using these to create a “fox” eye look too. So I definitely recommend this duo. When I realized I could get two shades with 2 different finishes for the same price as other sellers are asking for just one, I had to pull the trigger.

I’m so impressed with the Julep Eyeshadow 101 Crème-to-Powder Stick Duo in Desert & Champagne! These eyeshadow sticks make getting ready so quick and easy, yet the results look like I spent a lot more time on my makeup. The texture is creamy and smooth, gliding on effortlessly without tugging. Once applied, it sets to a soft powder finish that stays put all day—no creasing, smudging, or fading, even after a full day at work. The waterproof formula truly holds up, even in humidity or during long hours. The Desert shade is a beautiful warm neutral that works perfectly for contouring the crease or adding depth, while Champagne is the ideal shimmery highlight—it brightens up the eyes instantly and adds just the right touch of glow. I also love the built-in smudger, which makes blending a breeze. It's great for on-the-go touch-ups or creating a soft, smoky effect without needing extra brushes. This duo is perfect for both everyday wear and dressing up, and it’s now a staple in my makeup bag. Highly recommend to anyone looking for long-lasting, low-effort eyeshadow with high-impact results!

I’m using the taupe and it is just the right hue; not too dark, not too light. Can be applied under eye if careful. Easy to correct mistake until it sets.

Great product! Does not clump, spreads easily and the colors blend well with my skin tone.

These settled in the crease of my eyes, which was really disappointing, because the colors are nice and application was easy. I'm 50, so perhaps younger eyes would wear these better.

I ordered a Julep crème to powder eyeshadow stick when there was a VERY good lightening deal going on. Never tried the brand before and was interested. Once I got my eyeshadow sticks, they were SO GOOD I immediately bought more Julep makeup products - more eyeshadow sticks, blush/lip sticks, lip matte color (one of the lip colors is seen in the photo for this review), etc. The eyeshadow sticks glide on very easily, with a strong color (meaning it only takes a swipe or two), are blend-able with each other (I have numerous colors in these eyeshadow sticks and I blend them each time on my eyelid - I have a few diff colors blended in the photo for this review), are long-lasting and smudge proof (I never ever sleep in makeup, however, I did forgot one night and the makeup stayed in place for 24 hours without smudging or creasing (the photo for this review is after sleeping in the makeup and wearing it for 24+ hours). In addition, it’s waterproof! This eyeshadow truly has it all! Now, my entire makeup regimen consists of Julep products. Just simply top notch products. You can do a natural, 5 min or less makeup routine with Julep products - that’s my daily routine (5 min or less, which is how long it took me to do the makeup in the photo for this review). Take the chance and buy these Julep eyeshadow sticks, you will be pleasantly surprised!

I can't stop buying these! love the colors, shine and shimmer, creamy consistency. Goes on effortlessly, long lasting and very affordable.

Ottimi prodotti non mi provocano allergia come gli altri ma questi due sono molto chiari, dalle foto sembravano più scuri invece illuminano ma non marcano.

The colour doesn't stay, doesn't have enough pigment and there are products easy better than this

They’re ok. There’s another well known brand (CT) that does the same thing and miles better. This product creases in my lid lines and is somewhat greasy. Also didn’t last the whole day, but does make my eye colour pop.

lovely shades, good value, easy to apply

Great 💯
