What it is: A clean, cream-to-powder eyeshadow that dries down to a smudge-resistant finish. Choose from 16 matte and chromatic shades.

How it works: Glides like a cream. Dries like a powder. Liquid Powder Eye Tint is a quick-dry eyeshadow that swipes on effortlessly and locks in without budging or fading. Blend the weightless, water-based formula for a diffused wash of color, or build it up for a bolder look that lasts.

What else you need to know:
Size: 0.12 fl oz | 3.5 ml

How to Use

One at a Time
The quick-dry formula sets within seconds, so work on one eye before moving on to the other.

Start with a Swipe
For a sheer wash of color, apply a small amount to your lid with the doe-foot wand—a little goes a long way.

Pat to Blend
Blend with your finger using a gentle patting or tapping motion. You can also use the ILIA Shadow Brush.

It's a Build
For a deeper dose of color, let your first layer dry completely. Apply another thin layer on top and gently blend.

Founder's Note

““The formula has a fast dry-down time, so it’s best to work quickly. I love that it can create a wash of color or build to a bolder hue. I often layer two shades together to create a new color that catches the light beautifully on the lids.””

— Sasha

FAQ

If we didn't answer your question, let's chat or contact us.

Should I apply Liquid Powder Eye Tint with my fingers or a brush?

+

Liquid Powder applies easily with just your fingers, but a flat brush, such as our Shadow Brush, works well too. Use a gentle patting motion to blend.

Do I need to wear primer under Liquid Powder Eye Tint?

+

Liquid Powder works best when applied to clean lids. The quick-dry formula is designed to set to a smudge-resistant finish in seconds—no primer needed.

Does the formula crease or smudge?

+

Everyone’s eyelids are different, but Liquid Powder is formulated to set quickly to resist budging and smudging.

Is it buildable?

Yes, you can. Follow the steps above to layer the different shades for a multidimensional effect—the ways to play are endless.

    Pretty color, spotty application

    I bought this because I really like the green color (juniper), but I’m having trouble getting it to apply evenly just dabbing it on with my finger. I think maybe the formula needs to be more sheer, and maybe a little shimmer wouldn’t hurt. I also found that this product creases on my hooded eyes which was disappointing. Overall, I do like it enough to keep it. I added a little gold powder over it and I think it has a nice effect.

    Lovely

    Easy to apply and blend out. I got "mystic" and it's been a wonderful addition. Looks beautiful on my olive skin
