I took this in Sunrise, a beautiful, universally flattering golden taupe shade and wore it across my upper lids and swiped under my lower for two weeks straight. It looked relaxed, casually pretty and when I say it didn't budge, I mean it: one night, having fallen asleep while bingeing on Netflix, I woke up at 4am, staggered into the bathroom and found my eye makeup was still perfectly intact, despite having basked in sweltering heat for 19 hours.
Revlon's ColorStay? Cream Eyeshadow (7.99) is similarly hardy and can be swept straight from pot to eyelid with a fingertip. It withstands seemingly anything but cleanser, and the Caramel shade suits every skin tone. The issue with both the Make Up for Ever and the Revlon shadows is that they're almost all shimmery.
When I say it didn't budge, I mean it: I woke up at 4am to find my eye makeup perfectly intact.
For a similarly easy application and long-lasting finish minus the sparkle, I always recommend a Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick (29.50). They are more blendable, come in abundant, well-considered, wearable shades and last longer than anything I've tried.
