What Is Liquid Eyeshadow?!
Liquid eyeshadow is exactly what the name is, but it’s a quicker and easier form of eyeshadow. Liquid eyeshadow bottles often look exactly like lipgloss bottles, but it’s single-swipe eyeshadow! One of the main factors that make liquid eyeshadow so good is that it lasts all day and has no fallout.
Liquid eyeshadows can also be matte but are commonly shimmery. If you’re looking for a form of eyeshadow that will give you lots of pigment, in a short amount of time this is just for you!
How do I apply liquid eyeshadow?
Liquid eyeshadows are fairly easy to use! It can be fully blended in seconds but dries very quickly so make sure to be quick to blend when you apply. I love the Elf Cosmetics Liquid Eyeshadow!
1. For best results apply primer: Primer will ensure that your eyeshadow sticks onto your lid throughout the day. Wait a minute or two after you apply the primer.
2. Application: Dipping and then applying is the perfect method because liquid eyeshadow dries so quickly. For best results, apply in even and thin layers. If you have enough time, you might be able to use a brush, but I don’t think you’ll need it!
3. Done: Curl your lashes, apply mascara and you’re done, it’s that simple!
FAQ About Liquid Eyeshadow
Are cream eyeshadow and liquid eyeshadow the same thing?
This is an interesting question because there are two types of cream eyeshadow!
The first type is usually found in a small container and has a moisturized texture, but it’s not liquid it’s panned out. Cream eyeshadow is suited for drier skin and those looking for a subtle finish.
The second is actual liquid eyeshadow, in a bottle!

Personally, every liquid eyeshadow I have tried in some way has irritated my eyes. It could just be that I’m sensitive to some of the ingredients that are contained in liquid eyeshadow but I wanted to share that!
