What the gurus are saying

Pigment payoff is the sticking point here. Some found the pigment disappointingly weak, saying the color just wasn't showing up, which led them to recommend sticking with trusted favorite brands in this category instead. Others saw bold, bright colors that might benefit from a lighter touch when applied. With only two takes so far, there is not much to build on yet.

"I would say to skip on the Shadow Stick, this was disappointing to me, as it contrasts to the matte fluid eye paints. I had a lot of trouble getting this up to higher pigment, I never got to the looks in the pictures. It might just be the shade though, this is pearly."

"I think I got the About-Face Shadow Stick as a gift with purchase, and I kept thinking, where's the color, where's the pigment. It taught me that if you have a favorite product category, you should just buy from your favorite brand for more shades instead."

"I still want to try this brand About Face. They've got some interesting products. The Shadow Stick might be kind of fun to try out and maybe I could kind of mute it a little bit. I like bright colors but I don't like looking like Rainbow Bright."
