What items are comparable to Mac Paints and Shadesticks?

[amanda1210]

I really like the MAC shadesticks and the paints because they are a fast and easy way to "look better" when you are in a rush, and are more eye catching then just a swipe of eyeshadow alone. Any idea on what works just as good but is cheaper?

Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil??? Might Work...

Loreal HIP just released cream eyeshadows that look like they are a dupe of the paints. For the shadesticks, some people love the jumbo eyeshadow pencils from NYX

You can try NYX online and purchase a few from there and see what you like...

or that L'Oreal HIP products. I hear a lot of their stuff is similar to MACs but cheaper.

I never tried their stuff besides the pigments and lip gloss.

L'Oreal Paints and Cream Crayons are good.

I bought one for the heck of it and compared it to my paints and its exavtly the same thing!!! So I would also recommend the HIP cream shadow

I just bough the CG eyeshadow sticks today and swatched them and was pleasantly suprised. You should check them out.

I love the Exaggerate eye crayon by Rimmel.

I like to use Maybelline's Dream Mousse Shadow or Rimmel's Colour Mousse 8hr Shadow as bases. I'm cheap so I feel that I should only use my Mac Paint Pots on weekends LOL

Do either of those crease on you?

The mousse products cause a really nasty allergic reaction when I use them *sulk*

Boots No7 do eyeshadow cream things which come in a little tube similar to lipgloss. I had two or three of those which I used EVERY DAY on their own or as a base until I bought UDPP. TBH, I am going to get some more anyway because they look so nice.

good info ladies, the cover girl shadow sticks are good, also HIP loreal has some new Color Rich Cream Crayons that are great, i have "attentive" which is a bright coppery color and "perfectionist" which is very black. they are high quality and intense colors and come in other bright colors as well.
