#TrendAlert: Shimmer Makeup! 10 Eye Products To Help You Nail The Wedding Look

This single eyeshadow pan is the perfect shine you need for a night out. This product comes in five brilliant metallic shades to match any outfit. The formula is enriched with aloe vera and coconut oil for smooth application and a dewy finish. I was a bit iffy about how good this shadow would be after seeing the price, but the people have spoken (and proved me wrong!). The product has been described as “chota packet bada dhamaka” in Nykaa’s reviews, as well as being smooth, lightweight, and highly pigmented. 

What We Love: This creamy glitter shadow is more than just easy to apply. The oils blended in the formula keep the sensitive skin around your eyes moisturised. This area tends to get really dry when we wear makeup, especially glitter products. On the contrary, Wet n Wild’s shadow stays completely sealed to your eyelids with no fallout. No more wiping specks off your face when the rest of your makeup’s long gone!

e.l.f. has consistently proved itself by releasing completely affordable yet fantastic viral products, namely their Poreless Putty Primer and their Mint Melt Primer. It comes as no surprise that their liquid glitter eyeshadow is as big a hit! The product comes in the cutest packaging, with a felt applicator for smooth layering. The product’s quick-dry base ensures that the glitter is locked on tight! One swipe across the eye is more than enough for a dramatic look. 

What We Love: While we have not tried it, shoppers have found that this shimmery shadow can be used in multiple ways - for a cut crease, a light shine on top of pre-applied eyeshadow, or a little inner corner glow. 

This liquid eyeshadow has a beautiful long-lasting lustre. The two shades this product comes in are simply to die for. I can’t help drooling over the dazzling pink “Galaxy” shade. This chrome sheen cannot be ignored and its crease-proof formula makes it an immediate fan favourite. Colorbar’s glitter shadows look gorgeous in the sunlight and are a staple buy for your makeup bag.

What We Love: This liquid eyeshadow is water-based, so no creases! Enjoy long-lasting wear with no fallout.

Lakmé’s Absolute liquid eyeshadow is an absolute must. The tube is filled with two stunning shadow shades, in matte and shimmer. The complementary tones pair amazingly to create glamorous eye looks in just a few minutes. The numerous colour pair options blew me away! Whether you’re looking for a sexy black and gold eye combo or a delicate sensual pink, Lakmé’s got you.

What We Love: How efficient the product is! Think about it. With two liquid shadows in the same tube, eye makeup becomes a lot easier. Instead of having to repeatedly pack a powder shade onto your eyelid, enjoy a smooth, gliding experience with blending being easy as pie

Lime Crime’s glitter eyelid topper isn’t as pigmented as some of the products on our list, but it makes for a light sparkly sheen anywhere on your face. Its opalescent lustre is not too apparent but the product is highly buildable if you’re looking for a blinding glow. For people just easing into the trend, you may not be super comfortable with really bold looks. This product is great for a hint of shine any time of day. It comes in six pretty shades, so cop them all before they sell out! Customers are loving the Diamond Dew application brush and the glitter count in the formula.

 What We Love: It isn’t only an eye glitter. Lime Crime’s Diamond Dew can be used as highlighter, a cheek stain, or even body glitter. Talk about multi-purpose! This product covers all your shimmer needs from head to toe.

This Makeup Revolution palette truly has everything. The shades are a vibrant array of warm neutral shades and pinks. A combination of a few matte, mirror, and shimmer shades, the Pro New Neutrals palette is all you need for your glitter eye looks. The shades can be layered upon each other, you can cut creases with the glitter side by side with champagne- everything is on the table. I am absolutely gushing over the packaging of this palette and it seems like the shoppers on Nykaa are too. The product is said to be highly pigmented and have beautiful shades. 

What We Love: The diversity in shades and finish makes for ONE palette being your holy grail for any of your eye makeup looks. Its 18 shades do not disappoint, and if you get over the whole glitter eye fad, there are still many options for you with this palette.

PAC’s 7 in 1 Pigment Tower is a must-have for any glitter lover. This product provides a wide selection of loose shimmer pigment for the eyes, face, and body. Patting the glitter into the desired area with a wet brush is enough to seal it in place for hours with no fallout. The glitter is highly buildable and pigmented. The different themed sets of pigments go perfectly with each other and help bring exquisite eye looks together.

What We Love: The colour options! There are two different 7 in 1 sets to tickle anybody’s fancy. One of the sets consists of sexy, dark metallic shades for evening events. The other one is lighter, more summer colours for the daytime. Really win it all by buying both!

While Huda is always on the pricier side, their products never disappoint. This palette consists of one nude base shade, four pearlescent reflective shades, two intense glitter shades, and one waxy pressed pearl shade infused with nourishing oils. Huda’s inventive take on the nude look is simply breathtaking. Spicing up plain matte neutrals with glitter and pearl shades to ensure that this palette can be used for everyday events and special occasions. The brand introduces something new and exciting while sticking to the fundamental nude look so as to not scare people to step outside their comfort zone. Each shade is enhanced with material to make the pigment perform its best. The four reflective shades use pearl flecks to help them appear chromatic. The quality of the product has won over every customer grieving their spent money! Nykaa shoppers verify its blending ease and the shades’ immunity to smudging for hours.

What We Love:  The glitters are combined with silicone agents to help the pigment last for hours with no fallout. Acacia, jojoba, and sunflower oils help the pearl shade to shine its brightest!

This shadow palette is a completely elevated version of the Huda New Nude palette listed here too. The shades are darker and more daring, featuring eight smoky mattes, five metallics, four cream-formula mirror shades, and one eye gloss filled with bronze and berry pearls. We’re all going nuts over the amount of textures included in this palette. The looks you could turn out with this palette are absolutely fierce. The pigment is so rich and velvety, you can even use this for bridal glam! 

What We Love: There are some very tantalising glitter and cream shades in the palette, but let’s talk about that gloss! What a wonderful addition to an eye look. Make any smoky eye look glazed immediately with the shade “Slippery.”

Dior is clearly in the realm of luxury makeup, so again, the pricing is bound to be a little high. Except for these adorable little compact shimmer palettes. There are six colour palettes to choose from, and each of them are equally exquisite, with a variety of finishes: matte, shimmer, glitter, and satin. The texture of the shadows is creamy and there is a no-crease guarantee. The applicators are a double-ended mini brush as well as a foam ended blending tool, which is great!

What We Love: The shades show up on all skin tones, and the shadows are formulated with aloe vera and pine oil to make the pigments’ consistency smooth and long-lasting
