Sticks for speed. Twist up, swipe on and blend. The Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye Stix shades, primes and lines in one step, in matte or shimmer. The Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick is a budge-proof formula you can blend with a fingertip or a brush. Want one stick to do more? The MCoBeauty Eyeshadow Stick and Napoleon Perdis Luxe Lids Eye Stix both come with a built-in sharpener and work as shadow or liner. The Napoleon Perdis one is waterproof.

Pots and pigments for payoff. The MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot is a cult favourite. It primes and colours in one, and you can wear it sheer or build it to full opacity. The e.l.f. No Budge Cream Eyeshadow is a vegan pick that's made not to crease or smudge. Prefer to skip the primer? The NYX Professional Makeup Lid Lingerie Cream Eye Pigment is made for up to 24 hours of transfer-proof wear and has a needle-nose applicator.

How to Make Cream Eyeshadow Last

Start with clean lids and an eye primer if you want extra staying power. Apply a thin layer, blend the edges with your finger or a clean brush, then build up colour where you want more. Cream formulas also work well under a powder shadow, which can deepen the colour and help it last. For a bolder look, layer a cream shade under one from the eyeshadow palettes, or define the lash line with an eyeliner.
