BEST PIGMENTED EYESHADOW SINGLES

• Ahh, the single life. Easy, fun and commitment free. On the other hand, eyeshadow palettes can have their zillion-shade swagger, but be honest, when have you ever used all the shades in any given palette (other than the Nudes of New York Eyeshadow Palette, of course)? Mostly, palettes serve as the jazzy speed-dating session you attend in hopes of finding The One. That one perfect, inimitable shade that no one else makes, and turns your lids from ho-hum flesh into textural, colorful fantasy.

• WHY GO WITH PIGMENTED EYESHADOW SINGLES?

  When you find an eyeshadow shade you really like, stock up on it in single form, ASAP, because you will never use a single product more! Be it a dark, smokey shade you love for night, or your favorite everyday nude, eyeshadow singles are infinitely easier to carry around than their palette counterparts. Just pop these eyeshadow pens, pots and/or compacts in your purse and off you go!

• WHAT TYPES OF PIGMENTED EYESHADOW SINGLES ARE THERE?

  There's several options when it comes to single life: eyeshadow pens, powders and pots.

  
  

  Color Strike Cream to Powder Eyeshadow Pens: No eyeshadow brush? No problem. These spongey-tipped pens are loaded with long lasting, intensely colored cream-to-powder pigments. Apply, wait a second for color to set and then go. The formula is smudge-resistant and won't transfer, fade or crease for up to 12 hours. You can use it to gently define eyes like eyeliner, or create brow-to-lash line looks.

  
  

  Expert Wear Eyeshadow: A classic for a reason, these perfectly-sized pans of powder come in a crayola box-like assortment of shades, textures and finishes. And while it's been around forever, it's no throwback. The formula is engineered to be rich, long-wearing, silky and crease-free.

  
  

  Color Tattoo Up To 24 HR Longwear Cream Eyeshadow: Cool, silky pots of eyeshadow with major staying power. Don't be intimidated by its up to 24 hour capabilities—the formula is smooth, buildable and elegant. Brush on your favorite melty nude hue or build a smokey eye with Keith Richards-like, up-all-night staying power. It's so easy to apply you can even do it with your fingertips!
