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.

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

    I Am Not A Fan.

    I have purchased three tubes of this cream eyeshadow. I really wanted it to work but I have never liked it. I have purchased Fresco, Hatch and Aura. My favorite of the three is Aura. Fresco and hatch went on looking like they gave me a black eye. They were very difficult to work with. One of my main complaints about all three of them is that after they are applied, they create sensitivity around my eyes and they kind of have a subtle sensitivity slight irritation sensation. Personally, I would not recommend these to anybody.

    I will enclose a photo of me wearing the aura eyeshadow with just the ilia mascara, no other makeup.

    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.
