Shadesticks 101

As promised, this is a short post on how to get the most out of your shadesticks.

If you have oily skin, I imagine shadesticks might be really easy to apply, but for people with normal or dry skin, they can be quite difficult to put on straight from the stick. They tend to pull a lot on the skin around the eyes which can lead to premature wrinkling - no, thank you! So here's a couple of ways that you can use your shadesticks and still (hopefully!) keep those wrinkles at bay...

1. You can roll the shadestick between your palms or hold it close to a lightbulb for about 30 seconds before using it just to warm the product up a bit - this will make it go on much more smoothly (and no, it's not harmful for the shadestick).

2. Or, you can just apply the shadestick to the base of your index finger, get a decent amount of product on there and then apply it to your lid using your finger - hence controlling the pressure you apply to your delicate lid area.

Hope this helps!
