6 Liquid Eye Shadows to *Swoon* Over This Spring

Spring cleaning your makeup collection doesn’t just mean getting rid of gunky old products — sometimes, it means replacing some of the more basic items in your stash with newer counterparts. With the rise of liquid shadows, we recommend switching out your powder favorites with creamy pigmented alternatives. Ahead, find our six favorites for the upcoming season.

NYX Professional Makeup Lid Lingerie in Night Glow

For a cool-toned illuminating hue, NYX Lid Lingerie in Night Glow is perfect to swipe on your lids for a day-to-night bronze eye. Pair this with a bold cat eye or a colored mascara to really amp up the look, or wear it alone for a flawless touch of neutral sheen.

L’Oréal Paris Infallible Liquid Eyeshadow Paint in Nude Fishnet

Hitting that sweet spot between neutral and pigmented is sometimes a tough style to accomplish, but this Infallible paint in Nude Fishnet is on the mark. Use the pigments together on the lid or crease, and smoke them out with a clean dome shaped brush for a subtle radiance.

Lancôme Le Metallique in Brise Azure

If you’re anything like us and you support all kinds of graphic eye looks, the Lancôme Le Metallique in Brise Azure is a super pigmented blue liquid shadow to tap onto your lids for your next night out. This bright teal color is super buildable for a soft blue touch or a highly pigmented 80’s inspired eye.

YSL Full Metal Shadow in Gold Source

A little gold shadow can go a long way, which is why the YSL Full Metal Shadow in Gold Source is great as a base for any molten eye look. Apply this underneath any gold or glitter shadow for a long lasting lid that will have everything you lay your eyes on turn to gold.

Stila Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Cloud

One of our favorites of the bunch, Cloud is the purply-gold three dimensional liquid that will illuminate just about any eye makeup. Wear this with a bold red lip to really have heads turning, or complement it with a matte nude lip for a more polished finish.
