Let's just start by saying that summer heat is the no.1 enemy of a full beat face. And while touch ups can save you from fading  complexion base and bleeding lipsticks, your eye makeup tends to go under noticed cause no one wants to redo their eye makeup (that might or might not have taken them a good twenty minutes or so to blend).

That’s where liquid and cream eyeshadows come in. Not only do they look more pigmented and require less precision-driven blending but also don’t melt off your eyelids in the summer heat. And here are a few of our favourite ones to get your hands on.

Ruby's Organics' Quick-Set Liquid Eyeshadows are fast drying metallic liquid formulas that apply effortlessly and set within seconds making your eyelids gleam with rich pigment that is crease-resistant and won't melt off your eyelids. We especially like the shade 'Luna' which is a sparkly champagne tone and would suit most Indian skin tones. The hybrid metallic gel melts into the skin for a not-so-loud shine on the lids.

Another OG, the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Color is a gangster cream eyeshadow in the world of eyeshadows. It has high-impact pigment and doesn't tug on the eyes, super-duper easy to blend. These eye crayons have a creamy, smooth texture that's extremely easy to use, even for those who don't know how to apply eyeshadow. We love how it sets within less than a minute and doesn't give raccoon eyes even in the harshest heat.
