STYLE

When you're in a rush but still looking for a slay, might we present liquid eyeshadow? These sparkly specialties are gorgeous if you're looking for a bold look without having to blend a million powders. Instead, you can swipe 'em on and blend with a finger for a five-minute look. Here's a few of our faves to add to your holiday makeup bag ASAP...

Neutral glitter shades from One/Size

This shimmery liquid eyeshadow from One/Size is perfect if you're dipping your toe into bolder eyeshadow looks. These shades stay in a natural realm but have a gorgeous shimmer that will help your look stand out.

Pro tip: Be sure to use your ring finger to blend, as it is the weakest on your hand. The skin around your eyes is super thin—so it's important to be gentle!

Holographic glitter shades from ColourPop

ColourPop is an OG brand choice—so it's no surprise why we hear this chrome shadow. A fun touch: These colors shift in the light and have a multi-dimensional finish. The next time you're looking to add some spice and color to your look, these metallic shades are a great addition to your routine.

For those looking for more subtle look rather than a shimmery finish, these warm liquid eyeshadow colors from Rare Beauty are another good option. These dreamy pink and orange-toned shades are a whole Lover-inspired vibe.

These liquid eyeshadows start as a liquid and then dry into a satin finish. They can stand great on their own and be layered if you're looking for a stronger color or more dimension.
