Putty matte a great base color for cool toned fair skin

Putty matte a great base color for cool toned fair skin
I was almost out of my beloved Bobbi Brown eyeshadow stick in "stone"but I didn't 100%love that shade, it looked a little gray on my skin. (See my photo, BB on right, Julep Putty on left)So I tried out Julep Putty Matte at half the price of BB. If you have fair colored skin with pink undertones, the color WILL show up it, however it is light and subtle tho. On my eyelids I'm often just looking for a neutral base shade anyway so this is perfect. I don't understand the purpose of the foam blender on the end, not useful to me so meh. If you have darker or olive skin, Putty will likely not be enough color. Use primer first (my fav is Milani)let dry then apply your Julep shade and it will stay put all day!
Thank you for your feedback

Color: 09 Smoky Amethyst ShimmerVerified Purchase
You get what you pay for. I was looking for an alternative brand to the other department store brands. But this one doesn’t last all day. It blends OK, I find that when I’m blending it with a brush it mostly comes off my eyelids and onto the brush. I noticed that some colors blend better than others.
The colors are pretty and they go on nicely. If you’re on a budget, this is a great alternative.
I love this style of eyeshadow. It doesn’t spread all over your skin like powders. It’s really easy and quick to apply. I like how you can use it as an eyeliner on the lower lid as well.

Color: 18 Caramel MatteVerified Purchase
I am not a big eyeshadow person. Mostly because it's time consuming and I have hooded eyes so it usually just clumps up in the crease. I ended up buying this Julep Eyeshadow in Caramel Matte because of the positive reviews and I needed a light shade for my wedding makeup.

The price for one of these is a bit higher than buying a pallet, but it is very good quality. The color is subtle and natural, it glides on super easily, and turns into a matte powder once it dries. It stays on well all day and still looks beautiful by the end of the day. It doesn't clump up and applies evenly, and it is easy to smudge with the provided blender or with your finger.

Application with this is SO fast! It wasn't time consuming or tricky. It does still collect in the crease of my hooded eyes after hours of wearing, but it's easy to smooth back out with a finger (this is inevitable for me, my skin is so oily it makes my eyes burn sometimes!).

The staying power of this stuff is IMPRESSIVE! In the picture above, I used antimicrobial soap and water to remove it, but it didn't budge the makeup at all. I had to scrub with a towel to remove it (when its on my eyes, I use makeup remover to get it off). So this stuff lasts!

If you are looking for a natural looking eyeshadow that is super easy to apply and lasts all day, I HIGHLY recommend getting one of these.

Hope this helps!

I bought the shimmery taupe. It’s not too shimmery but just enough; it’s a gorgeous color, I use it everyday. I don’t have a lot of time to do my makeup so this is perfect! I would say it’s medium coverage, which is great because it’s easy to manipulate with the sponge on the opposite end, or your finger. I’ve used shadow sticks in the past that are WAY too heavy and it’s easy to make mistakes. You can’t make a mistake with this pencil, it’s too easy to fix. This also works great as a primer for eyeshadow, your eyeshadow looks better and lasts all day on top. Great product.

Color: 14 Blush Pink ShimmerVerified Purchase
I didn't get to try this out because I received a used item. (And it appears I'm not the only one.) I was able to get a close look at it, and I was immediately disappointed with the color "mixture." The item I selected wouldn't have worked for me, regardless of any other issue.

I've been curious about these eyeshadow sticks for a long time. I wanted to test them out years ago, but they seemed kind of pricey for my budget. I don't like to spend more than I'm used to on an item I have no certainty will work as claimed. But then my friend told me she bought a stick on discount, and it was a game changer for her. (Easy to use, easy to blend, buildable color, quick application, lasts long, looks natural, etc.) She said she bought more and suggested I at least try one. She insisted they were worth the regular price... finding one on discount was just a bonus. We're very much alike in what we look for in beauty cosmetics, so I was intrigued. I also saw there were a ton more reviews on Amazon than the last time I checked, and the majority of them seemed highly positive. So, I went for it. I felt I had the amount of guarantee I needed to justify testing this thing out.

I got the sheer shimmery pink color to use as a highlighter and on the inner corner of my eyes for a brightening effect. But that's not going to happen now. After I received my used product, I took a closer look at the reviews on Amazon - mostly to see if anyone mentioned unexpected problems with the same color I ordered. Instead, I noticed there were quite a bit of people who received what appeared to be used products, too!

This is highly disappointing considering this brand seemed to have made a good name for itself over the last few years. I was really excited to finally try their infamously convenient and water-resistant eyeshadow stick. You'd think they'd be more careful about the products they're sending out - especially for what they're charging.

My eyeshadow stick was undoubtedly used before I received it. Box was slightly crushed with signs of having been opened. The tip of the eyeshadow was smudged and there was product smeared on the outside of the barrel. If all that wasn't proof enough, the sponge tip had makeup residue on it as if someone fully tried every part of this thing out.

I can't speak for the application and wear quality of the item because I'm not willing to risk transferring potential bacteria to my eyes, face, or even the back of my hand. I can say the expectation of the product was not met, right off the bat. I can also add that I was surprised that there looked to be big chunks of glitter in the shimmery sheer pink eyeshadow and on the sponge tip. (I wasn't expecting such large specks of actual GLITTER to be in the mix. It wasn't shown on the advertised photos or explicitly stated that cheap glitter would be used. I did expect some fine mineral-like shimmer, but not cheap glitter.)

I'd suggest that if you buy this product, you thoroughly inspect it upon receiving it. Having cosmetics melt or break during shipment is one thing. But being sold a used product (advertised as new) is absolutely unacceptable. Especially, when there's evidence of it be a reoccurring issue for this particular product.

I'm debating whether or not I want to try ordering another color - only because my friend was raving about this eyeshadow like it was the best product she has found to date. If I do decide to take another chance, I'd likely play it safe and choose a matte shade. I can handle some amount of "shimmer," but I feel I'm a bit too old and I don't get dressed up enough to decorate my eyes with glitter. (I cannot stress enough: This was straight up large specks of GLITTER - almost like you'd find in a craft store or in young teens' cheap & trendy makeup - mixed in with an otherwise nice looking shimmery/pearlescent color.)

I'm just worried I'll get another used product... or that the product was otherwise kept in unsanitary/uncertain conditions before I received it. I just don't understand how this issue could happen so often. (Search thru the product reviews for yourself and count the number of complaints. You may not find it to be excessive, but I do. It really should be more of a rare occurrence. I haven't found this many complaints of used/questionable products when researching other cosmetics I'm also interested in trying.)

Also, avoid the shimmery sheer light pink color... unless you're ok with random large specks of glitter. Then maybe go for it. The overall main color appeared nice with some shimmer to it already.

Color: 05 Taupe ShimmerVerified Purchase
Easy to apply and stays put all day with no smearing. I use the taupe shimmer. It is a subtle shimmer and suitable for any occasion. I use it everyday and hope it never goes out of stock.
