I rate the shadestick 4/5
and the greasepaint 5/5 for what i use them for :) (eyeshadow base to darken shadows).
I 1st brought MACs shadestick in sharkskin to use as a base under my shadows for a deep dark evening look, and it did the job.
However the product need warming up 1st, this can be done by rolling it in your hands for a while or putting it in a warm place (near radiator or under clothed arm pits) without warming it is really hard to apply the product as it just doesn't glide onto the skin, but once warm the product is easy to apply and dries quickly which doesn't allow you much time to blend.
The greasepaint which i have in slick black still needs warming before applying but glides on a lot easier and doesn't dry quite so quick allowing you time to blend which is what makes the greasepaint better than the shadestick.
Colour pay off is darker and more opaque from the greasepaint but both have a similar effect when you use them as a base under shadows, i also find they help my shadows last a lot longer.
I can't wait to try both these products in other colours but i recommend the greasepaint over the shadestick as it is easier to apply and blend.
