Eyeshadow Primer
So it stays all day and night!
My favorite drugstore eyeshadow primer. This one is a great dupe for UD. It dries down a bit tacky and dry, but eyeshadow really sticks.
Milani Eyeshadow Primer
The OG, so classic and good. Eyeshadow lasts forever with this.
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
The texture of this one is smoother, more silicone-y, and less dry and tacky than others. Still great for holding eyeshadow in place.
Lock It Down Eyeshadow Primer - e.l.f.
Pressed shadow pans
Classic powders
An oldie but such a goodie. I love LORAC's eyeshadow texture, they apply beautifully, and with rich color.
PRO Palette Soleil - LORAC | Ulta Beauty
These are so gorgeous. Can be a sheer wash or topper, or loaded up for more color and sparkle.
e.l.f. Fine As Fleck Glitter Eyeshadow - Straight Fire
“Space Cowboy” is legendary. It’s a stunning color!
Urban Decay 24/7 Moondust Glitter Eyeshadow
I use these as eyeshadows! They’re beautiful face highlighters, but I use these with a finger for a gorgeous shine on the lid. A finer shimmer than others.
Wet n Wild MegaGlo Blushlighter Set
Colourpop’s pressed shadows are so good, and I love their shimmers as well as their mattes. This pallet has great neutral browns and gold shimmers.
ColourPop Going Coconuts Cool-Toned Eyeshadow
This pallet has everything if you like neutrals and cool toned shimmers. A great value too.
ColourPop Stone Cold Fox 30 Pan Eyeshadow
Stick formula
Blendable creamy stick formula. So easy to use.
I love a good cream stick. These are easy to apply, layer, and blend out.
COVERGIRL Clean Eye Color, French Violet
I love everything in the Maybelline Tattoo line. These are great, and I miss the pot cream version that they used to make.
MAYBELLINE Color Tattoo Eye Shadow Stix - I am Fearless
This one is a splurge but holy moly it’s the best cream stick eyeshadow I own. It. Does. Not. Move. I use this for my heavy duty long days or nights. And the colors and shimmers…perfection.
24 Hour Eye Shadow And Liner
Cream/liquid formulas
Pots and tubes of creamy or liquid formulas that dry down.
“Shiny Penny” is THAT GIRL if you want a gorgeous bronzey-champagne color with green and purple duochrome shimmer. Apply with brush or fingers.
"Shiny Penny" Jelly Much Gel Eyeshadow - ColourPop | Ulta Beauty
I love these Revlon pots. Creamy and shimmery and they dry down and stay put. I love that the lid comes with a tiny brush too. You can find these anywhere Revlon is sold too.
Black Currant ColorStay Crème Eyeshadow - Revlon | Ulta Beauty
Love the colors and the applicator too! So easy to use, can be blended out with finger or brush.
e.l.f. Liquid Metallic Eyeshadow, Galaxy
Omg the Super Shock shadows. These are so good, and SO affordable. Apply with fingers, and tighten the lid so it doesn't dry out. Shimmery dreams in these things.
Moonwalk Super Shock Shadow - ColourPop
Lady Gaga’s makeup line is truly so good. These are so easy to use!
