Shades available :
Lakme Shadow Artist Shimmer Sticks are chubby cream eyeshadow pencils. They have very fine sheen to them. No obvious glitter, which is pretty good.
Lakme Shadow Artist Shimmer Stick Astral Blue is a dark teal blue cream eye shadow . it is super dooper pigmented shadow stick. Glides on your lids easily without nay tugging or pulling.
Lakme Shadow Artist Shimmer Stick Glimmer Green :
It is a lime green shadow stick with very very fine golden shimmer to it. the shimmer just gives that gorgeous sheen to the colour. Pretty summery shade.Β See Eye Swatch HERE
Here are the swatches : Top – Astral Blue, Bottom – Glimmer Green
What I like about Lakme Shadow Artist Shimmer Stick :
- These are probably the easiest cream shadows I have used so far. The pencil design makes the application super easy. It’s just like colouring your eyelids with colourful crayons. π
- They are very very creamy. No tugging of your eye lids at all.
- The shadow sticks are amazingly pigmented. One swipe of colour is enough to cover your entire lid.
- The outer covering of the pencil is coloured on the same colour as the shadow stick so they are easy to store. They also have transparent caps so I would say that the packaging is not only pretty but very thoughtful as well.
- The shimmer in these shadow sticks is very fine so you don’t feel any grittiness while applying them.
- These blend beautifully both with finger tips or your eyeshadow brushes.
- I have never used them on waterline but while working with these sometime they went on my waterline as well but these caused no irritation to my eyes at all.
- They are quite versatile. you cna sue these as eyeliner and smudge them or as a base to your not-so-pigmented eye shadows.
What I don’t like about Lakme Shadow Artist Shimmer Stick
- These smudge, smear , crease and disappear after a while if worn alone on lids. Even with an eyeshadow base they crease very badly. :(( The only way to make these work is to apply an eyeshadow primer, then apply shadow stick and thenΒ set these with an eyeshadow. Even with eye shadows, these crease after a few hours.Not as badly but these do crease.
- Okay you are not supposed to smell these but these have a funny smell to them. π
- These can be sharpened using the Lakme Duo Sharpener.
As much as I’d wanted to be impressed by these, I don’t think I am.
These best way to use these I feel is use it as an eyeliner and then softly smudge it using a blue eyeshadow.
Here is the EOTD. I applied MAC Painterly paint pot as base, then setting it with powder so as to control any extra oil on my lids and then applied Lakme Shadow Artist Shimmer Stick Astral Blue very closely to my waterline. I blended it upward using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. On the inner corner of the lids, i applied the lightest shade from Lakme Eyeshadow Quartet – Botanica. On waterline I have used MAC Chromagraphic Pencil. Curled lashes and applied mascara.
And this is how it looks after 10-15 minutes- creased and faded . π It would have stayed longer (around 3-4 hours without creasing) if I had applied powder eyeshadow on top of it but on their own, these shadow sticks fail badly.

Rati,
Meri neeli jalpari…. do a tute using these… me buying astral blue for sure…
alright… I did one using the green pencil. π
I must compliment you….
U have beautiful deep eyes…. :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:
just too beautiful…. waise yeh aapki aankhon ki gehraiyon se kaun jhaank raha hai… :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Awesome review..Even I found these to crease like crazy…hardly any point in using them as eyeshadows in fact…M planning on using this as an eyeliner and kajal (since it doesnt irritate my waterline..) but i loooooove how pigmented these pencils are.. :beauty: :beauty:
Zara yes that’s the best thing to do. As eye shadows I don’t think these are the best things to use. :)) Don’t irritate my eyes as well. Me likes that. π π
This is too bad! The colors are so pretty. I finally had a look at this collection yesterday..! Lakme has outdone itself this time!
ankita really! the collection is really good this time. π The colours are wearable and fun at the same time. :))
I know! I picked up the Kiss of a rose cheek artist and I never wear blush to class but today for the first I did. It looks so natural! Same with lippy. #133 looks MLBB on me and I wore it today ! Generally I stick to lip balm for college. I’m definitely picking up more stuff from this collection!
Yeah..I guess the lipsticks are really good…Even I am loving my #131!!! π π π π
Cali I saw #131 on you..looks very pretty! It might be a little light for me..I’m loving the 133 now and thinking of going back to have another look at the others π π Did you try the cheek artist ?
Oops sorry..I saw the swatch of #133..I think I was getting confused by MAC Yash..it looked great on you!
yuppp..tried the cheek artist..but didn’t like it..donno why!! π π …..
ankita yash is much paler. :))
That lipstick is gorgeous Ankita. i am going to pick up kiss of rose blush myself. I like it more than peach. π π π
Really kya? I think then the problem was with the foundation only!!!
It’s so pretty naa otherwise….blue one, that is. Me didn’t like the green one cos well it won’t look good on me, I think…errr…awful EOTD π π π :tongue: Waise I think the colour suits you..is it kind of like a lighter brighter siahi??
Hi Rads!! π π π
:hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: I’ll gipht the green one to you… :fart:
hee hee hee..then greeny will become greener!! :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green: :green:
Heheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee π π π π me louuuuuuuuuuuuu you for 1 day today π π π
:hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali:
Such pretty shades..I’ve starry night!! π π ..but I also felt the problem with staying power and the texture doesn’t set at all….not even after a couple of minutes and gives me blue panda eyes, when it starts to fade away!! π π
But I don’t use it like this..he he..I simply use it as an eyeliner, smudge it and then set it with powder…. I :tremble: to think how it would look on me after an hour, if I apply it the way you’ve done…
cali yeah the best way to use these is eyeliner style only. What’s with the claim then ” Edge, smudge, line, shadow, color or blend. ” :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali:
er…they have over expected their product!! :(( :(( I couldn’t dare to use it as eyeshadow base, when I saw how quickly it was fading and spreading mess around my eyes as smudged liner only!! π π π
oh i checked your review.. same to same .. almost :cheers:
lol..he he he..the product is same na….just the shades are different!! π π ..hey rati..please update in this review na..at the end that you need to buy lakme duo sharpner to sharpen these, coz the usual ones don’t fit them…I have revlon sharpner and it couldn’t sharpen this fat pencil!! π
okay I’ll just update Cali. thankss.. :))
these r meant to b used s e/s base only i think rati… these luk like copies of nyx jumbo eye pencils,they’ve made :toothygrin: :toothygrin: .. but the color is luking kewlll on u.. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Even I thought of NYX jumbo pencil when I saw these pencils!! π π
Hi cali.. so also done a review on them on ur blog.. me chking out now.. :victory: :victory:
as eyeshadow bases, they crease after 3-4 hours on my lids. :toothygrin: :toothygrin:
then also they crease.. so whts the fun of owing them.. :wilt: :wilt: :wilt:
he he..they look pretty!! :yelo: :yelo: :yelo: :yelo: :yelo: :yelo: :yelo: :yelo:
:lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
:(( :(( :(( I so wanted these to work!!!
Hiiiiiiiii Mrunnnn.. π π
Mrun, you can make these work as eyeliners- soft smudgy look. But then I feel both chambor and colorbar make eye pencil in the similar blue colour with better staying power. These are cute but not impressive.
OMG….it has creased and faded badly na π― π― π― π― π― π―
even on painterly it did not stay π
I think without powder e/s on top they will crease badly so I am now skeptical of getting them ?:) ?:) ?:)
jinal with powder eyeshadow they crease on my lids after 3-4 hours. So atleast I am not recommending them. π
and mine are oily lids…..so I guess the staying power reduces more….I am definitely staying away…. :tremble: :tremble: :tremble: :tremble: :tremble:
Btw I ordered my CS palette….I hope I get it soon :zombiekiller: :zombiekiller: :zombiekiller:
Awesssssssssomeee!! π π π You got credit card??? Or you paid by paypal???
I told my friend to buy gift voucher for me…..and I transferred cash in her account…hehe :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
I don’t yet have CC :((
yeah..thats why I was wondering!! π π Cool idea..! π π π I ordered one 88 palette from “The Brush Company” and now waiting for it to come!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
yeahhh…..now we both wait for 88 palette……… :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
ih you can cali both wait wait now.. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
errrr…i actually didnt like it so much….am sure if i use it as a liner also its going to fade pretty quick…but the colors are beauty…. :jiggy2: :jiggy2: :jiggy2: :jiggy2:
Hiiiii Priyaaaaaaaaaaaa!! :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:
heyyyy….cali….did u see what rads made…..am going green on that :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank:

now only cheek artist i will buy :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
Nainaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…. π π π π I didn’t like cheek artist!! π π π
cali why dont you like the cheek artist?
the cheek artist I like naina.. those are not super pigmented but that ways even newbies can work with it easily, π π
haan it is good but it became patchy after few hours!! π π I think some blame might go to the foundation too that she applied on me!!
aaahh i see.. works fine on mee.. :))
They look pretty…But how to sharpen them? They are fat pencils…do regular sharpeners work? ?:) ?:)
no these sharpen with the lakme duo sharpener.
hainn…really? I have the revlon one..and it couldn’t fit this..Now will buy the Lakme duo sharpner!!
so pretty..but my lids are oily as it is…..this would toh go down to my cheeks if i applied them… :weep: :weep: :weep: :weep: :weep:
btw, Your eyes are SO PRETTY!! perfect almond shape… :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:
btw, can these be used as eyeliner pencils.. π π π
Hi Ramya, I have Starry night and I use them as eyeliner only, but only after smudging them and setting them with powder. Else they’d smudge and fade away and wouldn’t look good..The staying power is really bad!! :((
:haanji:
oww….. i would get them anyway cos the colors are so damn pretty… π π π
thanks for the help Cali!! :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
n Rati di also… :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
nice chubby chubby ones….:)
Blue is naiceeeeee….. π
the colours are pretty. :))
koi gal ni mujhe toh achi achi photos se matlab hai :stars: :stars:
i like the way you used it all over ur lid :victory: :victory:
thankoo ansh.. lolll!!!
I loved astral blue…but sad dey crease :((
bhumika I badly wanted these to work as eyeshadows.. the colours are so pretty. π
Someone around me is eating bread omelette and making me hungry again..the smell is sooo intoxicating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
hihihihi I know especially in office it gets all the more tempting. π
π π yeah!!!
Thank God you did this review! I almost picked these up… π
not worth it anks.. you cna do the same thing using a colorbar i glide pencil or the chambor one… I like smudgy pencils but this is way too much smudge..
thanks… does cheek artist accentuate pores? i am hating my current blushes coz they do. lakme powder blush in rose (discontinued) and maybelline powder blush in apricot flush
:)) As i said earlier, i dont like pencils who need sharpening so i will definately avoid them :fart: :fart: .. Avon Glimmersticks E/L are far better then this.. :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:
I am loving the avon eyeliners swati :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
The colors are so awesome! i am gona pick nyx jumbo pencils soon can someone recommend what colors to go for..? And also any recommendation for golden pencil?
kamini colorbar i glide pencil has a gorgeous gold shade π https://makeupandbeauty.com/colorbar-i-glide-eye-pencil-new-shades-photos-swatches/
:inlove: loved all 3 colors.. I’ll pick all the 3 of them π thank u so so much π
most welcome.. :))
I just wanted to tel Rati di this.Because of IMBB i am so madly in love with blushes.I was never a blush person before.Recently bought a faces blush and love it π thank you for making me love blushes π
Hi Rati,
I am new to beauty products and their uses but I think I can suggest a remedy for this one… what I do with these creamy pencils is… I apply a matte powder eyeshadow of the same color and then apply the shimmersticks… this way the powder e/s absorbs the moisture but lets the shimmer and color show from the shimmersticks…less fading and creasing this way. sometimes i use contrast powder e/s as well and the results are good… maybe u shud give it a try..
thats a gorgeous shade!! too bad that it creases!! π
Rati- this looks sooo good on u…. too bad it didnt work- I was so tempted to get these looking at the pics π
btw- ur piccy is sho cute π
it’s look like a disaster
