Review title is Better precision than most eye shadow crayons [SEP] I've always liked the idea of eye shadow crayons- quick, easy and portable, but the reality is often disappointing- messy, easily smudged and imprecise. These eye shadow crayons actually work like I imagined they should. They go on easily and blend well but they don't create a smeary mess when you try to blend them. You can actually get a relatively precise result with them. They have a handy little brush on the one end which makes precise shaping and blending easy. I was pleasantly surprised that despite the ease of blending, they actually stay put. They don't smear or wear off. I love purple eye make up so the colors were great for me though a few lean more towards pink than purple. They're not for a neutral every day look. They're more a fun, flirty dramatic look.
