These $5 eyeshadow sticks are the key to an 'incredibly easy' makeup look
Let's be real — applying eye makeup can feel totally intimidating if you don't have a ton of skill or experience. From winged eyeliner to smokey eyeshadow, there are so many gorgeous eye makeup techniques to try, but things can get complicated quickly. Luckily, putting on eye shadow doesn't have to be a test of your patience.
The E.l.f. No Budge Shadow Sticks are simple to use and hard to mess up, and somehow they're just $5 each.
Vegan and cruelty-free, these eyeshadow sticks feature a creamy, highly pigmented formula that won't crease or fade as the day goes on. You can use the stick as an eyeliner or all-over shadow, it's up to you — the twist-up design has a built-in sharpener so you can get that perfect point. And since the colors blend seamlessly on the eye, the application is practically fool-proof.
These sticks are a favorite of Yahoo's Shopping Director Jeanine Edwards who raves: "The beauty of an eyeshadow stick is that it doesn't require any other tools to apply. Just twist the crayon up, and it's ready to swipe on your lids. The E.l.f. No Budge Shadow Stick is nice and smooth, and it glides easily across your eye with little to no effort at all. You don't even really have to be precise about it. I normally just do a few haphazard swipes in a foggy bathroom mirror in the morning, and shockingly, the eyeshadow always looks great."
Layer a few colors on or use one as a wash of color on your lid, the options are endless (and so easy) with these sticks, so it's no surprise that more than 1,000 of them have been bought on Amazon in the past month alone.
One happy shopper pointed out that these sticks are great for when you're traveling or doing a midday makeup refresh: "It's incredibly easy to apply, gliding smoothly over my lids without any fuss. The roll-up stick design is genius — no more worrying about eyeshadow powders breaking or spilling in my makeup bag."
"I absolutely love this product. It goes on so easily and blends so well that my eye makeup routine is so much faster now. I first only bought it for sweatproof makeup while working in the field, but I use it as my regular eyeshadow now because it looks so good. Minimal, but the shade is adjustable by how much you put on and blend," exclaimed another pleased reviewer.
While most customers praised the formula's creamy consistency, some said they experienced some tugging when applying the shadow all over. One reported: "Fairly stiff, waxy texture but it did stay put as a liner for 12+ hours. I wouldn't try to use it as a lid color because it tugs at your skin too much. The Champagne color is quite pretty. Good value for such an inexpensive liner."
Stock up on these wallet-friendly shadows at Amazon, Target or on E.l.f's website.

Bryce Dallas Howard Doesn't Care If You Think Her Wearable Electromagnetic Frequency Devices Are Woo-Woo
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. There's no right way to 'do' wellness, but Marie Claire's Doing Well offers a glimpse into the self-care mantras, therapies, and affirmations practiced by industry trailblazers. When I finally log into my Zoom with Bryce Dallas Howard—late, thanks to classic tech issues—I expect awkwardness and scrambling. Instead, she smiles big, laughs, and says, "That gave me some extra time to apply my lip!" Her vibe? Down-to-earth, sharp, and quick-witted. Then I clock the product in her hand: the unmistakable bright purple, stacked compact from my newest beauty brand favorite. "Wait—is that Subtl Beauty?" I ask. We instantly bond over a shared "I'm obsessed" before she tells me she discovered it mid-flight, while overhearing the brand's founder in the seat in front of her (hi, Rachel!). "I DMed her as soon as we landed," she laughs. That's when I knew this wasn't going to be your standard celebrity profile. Howard doesn't do small talk or scripted interviews. Chatting with her feels more like catching up with your smartest, most grounded friend—the one who, oh yeah, just directed a Disney+ documentary and is starring in an upcoming Prime Video action-comedy (it premieres June 12 on Amazon, mark your calendar). Between our conversation about Pets (the documentary that was inspired by her personal relationship with animals) and Deep Cover (think improv comedy meets undercover sting operations), it's clear she's been busy. But when I ask how she manages to juggle everything and have a good relationship with wellness at the same time, it becomes clear that Howard's approach isn't about control or perfection. Instead, it's about joy and self-kindness. She's candid about emotional eating, talks openly about walking away from diet culture, and finds happiness in the things she values the most, big or small—like frequency devices, a skincare product she's been scraping from the same jar since 2017, and the cute animal videos she binges that send her into a dopamine spiral. Howard isn't here with a wellness playbook—just real talk about listening to your body, ditching the guilt, and finding calm in the everyday. Oh, and, of course, she's got her lip on. I'm a huge fan of frequency healing. When I'm stressed or feeling overwhelmed, I put on frequency sessions. It helps me drop out of the mental chatter and just be present. I wear these devices—I actually just ordered a new one. It's a Trinity. My mom wears hers pretty much around the clock. My husband's been having sinus issues, so we busted it out for him today. I just really believe in that stuff—frequencies, EMFs, radiation, all of it. It's powerful. I'm very into it. Over the years, I've learned to pay attention to it whenever something pops up. My mom used to get cold sores on her lips, and now she keeps it on the 'cold sore' setting. She hasn't had one in years. It's this thing where you can use sound, vibration, or electromagnetic frequencies to help your body and mind reset and relax. It feels like this deep recalibration. I had my first experience with it a few years ago, and I was like, 'Whoa, what is this?' It's one of those things that sounds woo-woo but actually makes a huge difference in how I feel physically and mentally. I usually reach for something that's calm and doesn't require much brain energy. It's less about active learning and more about a pause. Usually, videos of pets. Online comedy. Laughter is the most powerful form of self-care for me. When I'm feeling really overwhelmed, I like to take a break and watch videos of animals—pets doing silly, joyful things. It's such a quick way to ground myself and bring a little lightness back into the moment. If I have just 10 minutes to reset, I'll watch videos of animals being their goofy, authentic selves. There's something about their pure joy and spontaneity that immediately shifts my mood. That kind of lightheartedness is pure medicine for me. In our hectic lives, we often forget how much animals ground us. That's exactly what I wanted to capture in my new documentary, Pets on Disney+—the deep, sometimes surprising, relationships that enrich our well-being. I basically made Pets as a place to house all those wonderful, funny videos that just make me laugh. The Retrouvé Revitalizing Eye Concentrate. Okay, I'm going to admit something I probably shouldn't...a bottle of this lasts forever. I'm still using one I got in 2017. And I did get another one—basically, I tend to pick one up every time I do a movie. So I got a new one in 2020. But I still have both—they just never seem to run out. You only need the tiniest dab. It's so powerful. Weleda Skin Food. I put it everywhere—especially around my mouth. I'll let it sink in like a moisturizing mask. I use it daily; I have eczema, so I'll use it on my hands too, and it's the only thing that helps. By taking things one day at a time, and trying to stay playful. That also kind of ties in with [my new movie] Deep Cover. I play a comedy improv teacher in the movie. Improv helps you stay present, listen, and build on what's already there. So instead of reaching or constructing something unrealistic, I'm trying to be grounded in the here and now. Laughter, playfulness, staying present, moment to moment. That's what really helps. I paint! I'm finishing up an online fine arts program at the Milan Art Institute—I'm in the portfolio phase right now. Even when I'm not working on portfolio pieces, I'll do watercolor or something. It's constant, I have all my [painting] supplies right here next to me. Being a raw foodist. And it's not a knock on veganism—I'd totally do that again. But I was a vegan raw foodist, and raw food was just one step too far. I did it for three and a half years, and when I stopped, it was a big deal because it became a real health issue, especially during pregnancy and after. I saw four doctors, and each of them said, 'You're missing amino acids and essential nutrients. You need to eat some meat.' I was like, 'No.' The last doctor said, 'Bryce, I completely respect your choice, but you're going to have to decide between your ethics and your future.' It was really emotional starting to incorporate meat again—I felt like I was betraying my values. And it's still something I struggle with: where's this coming from, and what's the real cost of this choice? Because the slaughterhouse industry is incredibly abusive. So yeah, the veganism I still value, but I took it too far with the raw foodism. Still, I've learned a lot from it and kept a lot of those tenets in my life. Well…I could definitely improve. But there are two big things for me: First, I don't diet or try to manipulate what I eat or how I move in order to control how I look. When I stopped doing that—when I stopped trying to fit into a certain size—my health totally turned around. I was finally listening to my body again. It became a collaboration instead of a dictatorship shaped by outside pressure. So not dieting has been huge. I don't let my appearance dictate what goes into my body anymore. The second thing is kind of on the other end of the spectrum—I have celiac, so I can't eat gluten. And in the last few years, I developed a pretty severe allergy to eggs. I can still eat eggs if they're baked into something, but if I have scrambled eggs? Whoa. I get just so, so sick. Then, about two years ago, I started to get a very similar reaction to coffee, so I had to give that up as well. Now, more than ever, I am careful not to be restrictive in any way that isn't medically necessary, because there are already so many foods I literally can't have. But hot chocolate works great. Honestly, better [than coffee]. I need a shirt that says 'Powered by Hot Chocolate.' I'd talk about dieting. I'd say: if you knew with certainty that no matter what you did physically, or what you ate, it would have zero impact on your weight or size—how would you eat? How would you move? That kind of framing forces you to reconnect with what you actually enjoy and what actually feels good. It shifts your relationship with your body into something supportive and appreciative. I really believe in the power of emotional eating. I think it's beautiful. People demonize it, but to me, emotional eating can be a way to ground yourself, reconnect, even heal. When you can make food choices that reflect how you feel and you're not judging yourself—that's holistic wellness. I stopped dieting ten years ago, and healing that relationship has been miraculous for me. I've raised my kids that way too, and they're so much more in tune with their own needs than I ever was. I say 'healthy' with caution, but they have a grounded relationship with food. One of them doesn't like meat and just naturally avoids it. The other one doesn't like sugar. They crave salads. It's wild. Of course, there was a lot of brainwashing growing up—in the '80s, '90s, early 2000s—about how we should relate to food. What I'm saying might not work for everyone, but it works for me. I feel empowered not to change myself through things that don't actually serve or support me.

7 top new movies to stream this week on Prime Video, Hulu, Disney Plus and more (June 10-16)
This week is packed with a bunch of new movies hitting the best streaming services. They include Prime Video's original crime-comedy "Deep Cover," which sees an improv teacher and two of her students pose as hardened criminals to infiltrate London's criminal underworld. There's also the release of "Snow White" on Disney Plus and Rami Malek's "The Amateur" getting a digital streaming release. Hulu and HBO Max will have new movies to watch, too, but the title I'm most intrigued about is "Echo Valley," a new thriller arriving on Apple TV Plus. If you're looking to stream something new this week, I'll be sharing all the top new movies across streaming services. Plus, be sure to check out all the top new TV shows you'll want to binge-watch this week as well. Fresh off a string of intriguing genre projects, Rami Malek stars in 'The Amateur,' a grounded, slow-burn espionage thriller that does things a little differently than your usual spy fare. Directed by James Hawes, this cerebral thriller plays it cool, focusing less on gadgets and globe-trotting and more on grief and obsession. Malek plays a CIA codebreaker devastated by a personal tragedy. When red tape blocks him from getting justice, he takes matters into his own hands by forcing his way into the field and setting off a chain reaction of internal conflict and covert danger. And no, this isn't an action-packed Bond riff. It's a tight, deliberately-paced character study that asks how far someone's willing to go when pushed to the edge. Also starring Rachel Brosnahan, Jon Bernthal, and Laurence Fishburne, 'The Amateur' might not be flashy, but the slow-brewing tension and restrained performances make it a satisfying watch for those who like their thrillers smart and serious. Buy or rent on Amazon from June 10 Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Clown in a Cornfield' tries to lean into the campy slasher vibes its title promises, but despite the blood and greasepaint, it never quite sticks the landing. Based on the cult YA novel by Adam Cesare, the movie follows a group of teens who find themselves stalked by a deranged killer clown called Frendo in the middle of rural America. Sounds like it should be a blast, right? Unfortunately, this one's a real misfire. In a year full of inventive horror flicks, 'Clown in a Cornfield' stands out for all the wrong reasons. The tone is all over the place, the characters are incredibly annoying, and there's just too much cringe humor. It doesn't even manage to hit that sweet spot of being 'so bad it's good.' Still, if you're a slasher completionist, there are a few silver linings: Some of the kills are enjoyably gnarly, and the clown costume design is weirdly fun to look at. Buy or rent on Amazon from June 10 Disney's live-action 'Snow White' finally arrives on Disney Plus, and while it doesn't quite reach the heights of the studio's strongest remakes, it's not without its merits. Directed by Marc Webb and starring Rachel Zegler as the iconic princess, this retelling makes a clear effort to modernize the story with updated themes and some fresh musical choices. However, despite a few visually striking moments and Zegler's natural screen presence, 'Snow White' does struggle to justify its existence. Much of the charm that made the original an enduring classic is nowhere to be found, and it turned out to be far less compelling than the social media uproar might have led you to expect. But for younger viewers or die-hard Disney fans, there's just enough appeal to make it worth a watch. It may not be a classic in the making, but it offers a soft, visually pleasing experience that's easy to put on for a cozy night in. Watch on Disney Plus from June 11 'Deep Cover' is one of Prime Video's more intriguing original releases this year. The premise: a team of improv comedians goes undercover. And based on the trailer, this crime comedy looks like a wild, over-the-top dive into London's offbeat criminal scene with plenty of laughs along the way. Kat (Bryce Dallas Howard) is an improv teacher stuck in a rut and wondering if her big break has passed her by. That changes when a mysterious undercover cop (Sean Bean) presents her with an unexpected opportunity: help him pull off a risky infiltration of London's criminal underworld. Sensing her moment, Kat ropes in two of her most eager students (Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed) to pose as hardened criminals, diving headfirst into a world far beyond the stage. Watch on Prime Video from June 12 'Absolution' quietly dropped in theaters last November, but it finds new life this month as it hits Hulu. Liam Neeson plays a fading mob enforcer battling memory loss and years of regret, trying to make peace with his estranged daughter while dodging the violent fallout of his past. Directed by Hans Petter Moland, 'Absolution' doesn't do anything new, but it leans hard into the noir vibes — bleak lighting and just enough grit to keep you hooked. Neeson does what Neeson does best, growling his way through emotional monologues and brutal fight scenes, even if the material feels a little too familiar. It's not a must-watch, and at times it drags, but there's something satisfying about its stripped-down simplicity. If you're a fan of Neeson's late-career crime roles, this one fits comfortably in the rotation. Watch on Hulu from June 13 I thought I had made a mistake by reading the reviews before watching 'Cleaner,' since I usually avoid doing that. But going into this action-thriller with low expectations actually helped me enjoy it, and I ended up pleasantly surprised. 'Cleaner' centers on Joey (Daisy Ridley), a former soldier turned high-rise window cleaner working on One Canada Square in London. During a gala hosted by a major energy corporation, eco-terrorists seize the building, using sleeping gas to take around 300 hostages. High above the chaos, suspended outside on a glass platform, Joey and her autistic brother accidentally witness the attack and become the building's unlikely lifeline. Don't expect anything groundbreaking when going into this thriller. Unfortunately, it leans a little too heavily on familiar tropes from better movies to truly stand out, but there's still plenty of fun to be had along the way. Watch on HBO Max from June 13 There's just something about a slow-burn psychological thriller with a messy mother-daughter dynamic that always pulls me in, and based on the 'Echo Valley' trailer, this looks like exactly that kind of story. Julianne Moore stars as Kate, a former competitive rider now living a quiet, grief-tinged life training horses in rural Pennsylvania. Things take a sharp turn when her daughter Claire (Sydney Sweeney) shows up one night, bloodied and clearly in shock. She says she's done something awful… and that's when the real unraveling begins. Written by 'Mare of Easttown' creator Brad Ingelsby, I'm expecting morally murky choices, emotional gut punches, and characters who don't fit neatly into 'good' or 'bad.' Throw in Domhnall Gleeson as a cryptic figure from Claire's past, and it's even more intriguing. Watch on Apple TV Plus from June 13
