Last week, I made an upsetting discovery, my favorite eyeshadow pencils were discontinued. This is the second core beauty product that was snatched from my makeup bag this year without warning, and it’s always a bit of a blow. But, fear not, I may have found something even better.
Remember the obsession with the Urban Decay Naked Palettes that encapsulated the 2010s? Well, those warm neutrals are back in the form of an eyeshadow stick.

The Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Sticks are a great, toss in your bag, looks good on almost everyone, set of warm neutrals. And if, like many women in middle age, you are avoiding shimmer, they have matte shades as well.
I bought the Toasty shimmer cocoa, and the Private Album shade is which is a warm taupe. I love them for everyday wear because they’re extremely blendable. They also offer 16-hour wear, so mid-afternoon disappearing act. I hope these take off so that UD will start offering more shades.
These would also make a great stocking stuffer. Just saying.

ugh, I also discovered last week that a beloved beauty product (Nars velvet matte lip pencil) was discontinued . . . i’m devastated!
Loveeeeeee eyeshadow sticks I’ve been a Laura Mercier addict but the shades aren’t doing it for me anymore. Will give these a look!
Does anyone know how these compare to the ELF eye shadow sticks?
I haven’t tried the Elf, do you like them?
I’ve tried the ELF shadow sticks and didn’t like them– they aren’t smooth, so go on patchy and all the colors were kind of the same silverish tone. I’ve used the Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier ones and like those the most. I’m not a fan of the Rare or Fenty ones either. Lol, I have too many!
The Sephora house brand eye shadow sticks are pretty good too
I’m an oily eyelid girly. The best eyeshadow sticks for me are Bobbi Brown and Stila (which comes with an eyeliner on one side that I absolutely cannot use, but I love the taupe).
My fave UD pencil of all time is Lucky, but I also like Whiskey and Bourbon.
