Hey everyone!
Today I have a review and swatches of two more Stila Shimmer and Glow Liquid Eyeshadows. I already reviewed the shade Grace on the blog and wanted to share my thoughts on two other shades I got, Cloud and Kitten. Cloud especially stuck out because of the beautiful duochrome lavender and gold shift.
Where to Get It:
The Liquid Eyeshadow comes in a rectangular tube with a doefoot applicator. It costs $24.00 for 4.5 mL/0.153 oz and it's available at Sephora, Stila, and ULTA.
If you're not familiar, these are a lightweight liquid eyeshadow that give off a ton of shimmer. Due to the water based formula, these can set quickly so dab it on then blend it out using fingers or a synthetic brush. If you let it dry down without blending, it can be difficult to blend the edges. I do like how it feels quite cooling on your eyelids as it dries. Use this in the center of your eyelid for those "halo" or "spotlight" eyes. Don't layer it too heavily as it can look "crepey" if you over apply.
I do need to wear these with an eyeshadow primer to prevent creasing, but I didn't notice any shimmer fallout when wearing with a primer. Without primer, these last about 5 hours without creasing whereas with eyeshadow primer these last about 8 hours without creasing.
Here's a close up of Cloud
Cloud is described as a "shimmering lavender with gold pearl". This swatches really poorly on the arm, it looks a lot better when worn on the eye.
Conclusion:
If you're into liquid eyeshadows, I think these would be a great addition to your collection. The longevity by itself could be improved but using a primer makes it wearable over the day. Cloud especially looks great on its own and the duochrome adds a ton of depth to the color.

I really like Cloud and Grace. I have been interested in trying these, so thanks for your honest review and eye swatches!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the Shimmer and Glow liquid shadows. Lovely review. I’ve tried a couple shades and love wearing them over a matte shade just to jazz my eyes up a bit.
ReplyDeleteCloud looks so pretty - I love that lavender hue. I'm late to the liquid shadow party (oily lids); but it's great to know they work well with primer.
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely gorgeous! It is too bad that they are a bit more long-lasting, but they are so gorgeous that I almost don't care if I would have to reapply them!
ReplyDeleteI love these, to be honest. I have cloud!
ReplyDeleteBoth shades look gorgeous on you! I can't say that I have any liquid eyeshadows but they look nice.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I really like these, too. I've been debating getting Cloud for awhile.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to wear these coz they look absolutely stunning, but I have such dry lids that I don’t think i’m a good candidate. But your suggestion on wearing them for a pop of shimmer might be doable over a Cream shadow like MAC Paint Pot
ReplyDeleteThose look so nice on the lids especially Cloud
ReplyDeleteI love liquid shadows but I know these will be too shimmery for me. I cry every time I see them.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of shades like Kitten, but Cloud is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shades! I thought they'd be too glittery, but they actually look like the perfect amount of shimmer instead.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! I need cloud. This summer is all about shimmer!
ReplyDeleteCloud is the kind of shade I wear when I have little time to do makeup but want to get something pretty on my eyes quickly.
ReplyDeleteOddly the payout wasn't what I expected but they are both pretty. I'm afraid I'd end up just sticking these in a drawer though - I have a long way to go with liquid eye shadow!
ReplyDeleteOoo, one your photos are lovely and two, that looks so pretty on too!
ReplyDeleteBoth look fabulous on you! Kitten would probably be my pick for myself!
ReplyDeleteI need to buy these ASAP! The colors are absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of liquid eyeshadow but I haven't tried these yet. I may get one of their new jewel toned shades that they're releasing for fall!
ReplyDeleteI love liquid eye shadows and eyeing the Stilla ones since long. These two look gorgeous.. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI've yet to try liquid eyeshadow but both of these look so amazing I am going to have to now!!!
