Stila Shimmer and Glow Liquid Eyeshadow in Cloud and Kitten - Review and Swatches

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 SephoraStila, and ULTA.

Review:

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.

Swatches: 

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.

Kitten is described as a "shimmering vibrant nude pink". It's beautiful pinky beige which catches the light so well.

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.

  2. I 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.

  3. Cloud 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.

  4. These 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!

  8. I 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

  12. Beautiful shades! I thought they'd be too glittery, but they actually look like the perfect amount of shimmer instead.

  14. Cloud 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.

  15. Oddly 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!

  16. Ooo, one your photos are lovely and two, that looks so pretty on too!

  17. Both look fabulous on you! Kitten would probably be my pick for myself!

  19. I'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!
