Stila's Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow line is really nice and I like their Shimmer & Glow line just as much (maybe more). The bright glitter and reflective pearls create a pretty, feminine look that helps brighten up your eyes. The lightweight, water-based formula is super easy and quick to apply and just as easy to wash off with soap and water. The wand makes the eyeshadow extremely easy to apply without too many mistakes, and once it's on, it stays for many hours. There is minimal glitter fallout; it's absolutely the least fallout I've ever seen in any eye glitter product. However, it also depends on how many layers you apply. The more sheer you go, the less fallout you'll have. The adhesive holding everything in place is impressive. Because the main ingredient is water, this eyeshadow goes on very light, cold and wet. It doesn't take too long to dry. I usually look downwards for about 10-20 seconds (to avoid creasing), but I can walk around doing other things without worrying about the liquid shifting out of place. Stila's products tend to work well together. I like to use their micro-tip or regular tip liquid eyeliner first. Then I carefully use the thin side of this wand to apply the shadow above the black line, before using the flat side to fill in a bit more. Then I either use my fingertip to tap and blend into a nice oval shape or just let the wand do the work. The glitter shadows aren't always the best to blend with your finger- the glitter can appear uneven. Then I remove any extra glitter with a pointed Q-tip. This technique works the best because you don't want to overlap your eyeliner with the glitter eyeshadow, which can happen easily. Overlap makes your line look crooked in areas, due to the light reflection, so be aware of that. ROSE GOLD RETRO is a bright, glittery, pink-rose gold color that looks very attractive, particularly if you have darker skin. I wore this during an active 12-hour SNL shoot. By the end of my 18 hour day, I had glitter flecks all over my face. But for at least 10 hours I was fine, with minimal glitter fallout. ENCHANTRESS is a very pretty, long-lasting shimmery eye shadow with a bright iridescent finish. It's pinkish or coral in color, with tiny flecks of hot magenta and light green mica. They glitter beautifully in the light and the shiny base color provides enough hue so that you don't need to use a seperate eyeshadow. INTO THE BLUE is a gorgeous, duo-chrome, iridescent, glam glitter liquid eyeshadow. It's a vivid cobalt blue color with a bold purple color shift. It seems streakier than the other colors and I realized that you definitely cannot blend this one with your finger. You have to carefully apply it with the wand. There is some glitter fallout, moreso than other colors. To be fair, I applied a couple more layers than I usually do with the other liquid shadows. It's hard to get it on perfectly without practice. Once the eyeshadow is on, it looks beautiful with its wet, slick, metallic, blue-purple sheen. It's awesome for wearing out at night, to dinner, at parties, etc. KITTEN KARMA has a subtle pinkish hue with a ton of silver and mostly gold/copper glitter that works well with any skin tone. This one has a LOT of glitter, moreso than the other shadows. I tend to like the ones that actually show a bit of color more than just tons of glitter. (Kitten (not Kitten Karma) is the Shimmer & Glow eyeshadow, the version without the glitter. The color is very subtle, sightly pink, great for daytime wear.) SMOKY STORM: It's a bit streaky and I don't love the color. The glitter is silver and copper and the base has a light bronzish hue. The Diamond Dust and Gold Goddess glitters are pretty self explanatory. They don't produce any color shifts but are simply silver or gold glitter. Best applied over colorful eyeshadows.
