I’m in love with these Caviar Color Sticks from Laura Mercier. The formula is creamy yet super light, the finish is buildable and it lasts (read: no creasing) for hours.

I’m always on the hunt for great makeup that’s easy and fast, and these babies make applying eye makeup a cinch. They’re a foolproof shortcut to a simple smokey eye—or a nice way to experiment with color. I use Khaki for my everyday smudgy eye uniform, and I love Plum for a pop of deep purple, which I’m really feeling for fall.
