My hooded eyes mean that carefully applied eyeliner always ends up as a smudgy line just under my eyebrows and it's never a good look. I also have oily eyelids which exacerbates the problem. I've been through every premium brand you can think of and never managed to make eyeliner stay where it's supposed to. Avant-Glide applies like a dream and stays all day. I probably should have said that you can apply these as an intense shadow, or use them more as an eye liner. I apply mine as close to the lashes as I can and then smudge with a brush. I'm about to buy another one in a different colour!

Some days, I can devote more than 5 mins to my eye make up, but even on those days I need to rush, I have three staples: Avant-Glide, Impressionist and Lash Exhibit. That is it. One day a week I start work at 3am, so this combination can be on for sometimes 20 hours. And it does not budge. I am a huge fan of eyeshadow sticks, but this one, this is a masterpiece!
