    I love this color. it also glides on silky, and is great as a shadow base when you want intense color.

    On my brown eyes, Royal Hue is amazing! For me, this shadestick is entirely too intense and dark to use as a shadow base, but it's absolutely one of my favorite deep purple liners. It's bold, and...

    i find that alot of people on here are saying that its hard to apply...i guess had i never watched youtube vids i probably would be in the same boat. The trick is to warm it between your...

    I got a mini in a set but bought full size when I finished it. It's really great as a base for eyeshadows, makes my purple shadows look even better. Sometimes when I'm lazy, i swipe this on my...

    I have the mini from the holiday collection and I love it! It's a great color (dark purple). It's really bright and vivid. It's one of the better shadestick colors in my opinion, but I can't seem...

    I like to use shadesticks as a base, and this was just way too dark for me. I'm quite the fan of bright looks, and the only thing I could use this for would be a smoky eye. I don't think I'd be...

    I bought this simply because I don't really like using brush, I love the fact that you only need to swipe this on your eyelid and go. Its very practical. I love the staying power and of course the...

    I received this in swap which makes me happy because I would never buy this! I could not get it on my eyelid and when I did, I couldn't even get it to blend! Plus the stick moves around so much in...

    People say this is a "bruised purple" but it looks nice on me. However, I still think I'm taking it back because: 1) It skips when you apply it, and it doesn't even blend in that well, 2) The tip...

    eeeeh, like others said, it's a bruisey purple and for some reason, I have a harder time getting this one to go on evenly....but then sharkskin is like that too. Maybe because it's darker, I don't...

    I picked up this shadestick after thinking about it for a long time. I really wanted something to make my purple eyeshadows pop. I found that I have to heat it up a little bit (Blowing on it, or...

    This is a great product, but I didn't give it a good price rating because it is quite expensive. However, I did manage to pick mine up at my CCO! Whenever I wear MAC Violet pigmet, I always wear...

    I love this shade! This was my first shadestick and I love it to bits! The colour (purple) is great for lining the bottom of my eyes.

    Very convenient, and idiot-proof way of applying eyeshadow, especially if you are in a hurry and don't have time for all the nicieties and fiddling about. I've applied my shadestick in a cab on the...
