Glitch Liquid Eyeshadow

The formula is described as "water-based" and having "exceptional wear time and zero fallout" and can be applied in a "single swipe" on the lid. The brand recommended to allow the formula to dry down before opening eyes "all the way" to avoid creasing. It's an incredibly wet and watery formula, which made it hard to use and have sheerer coverage.

The majority of shades were more like multichromatic top coats rather than full-on eyeshadows--less "one swipe." They were a challenge to apply evenly, as the watery formula was prone to visibly streaking whether I used the included-applicator (the worst tool), fingertips (only decent if semi-dried down already but always sheered out the product considerably), and brushes (both fluffy and flat synthetic options).

I had the best results using a flat brush to apply and a clean, fluffy brush to diffuse the edges a bit after giving it a few seconds to dry down. It was usually easier to take the included-applicator, swipe product onto the back of my hand, then pick up product with a brush--this made it so my skin absorbed some of the wateriness and prevented some of the streaking when applied to my lid.

Despite being a rather watery formula, the dry down time was actually too long--getting product into my fine lines as it was drying down was very minimal of an issue. The uneven, sometimes patchy and other times streaky, applicator was really the pressing problem. The more pigmented shades applied more smoothly, while the sheerer shades seemed to ball up in places, which resulted in a chunkier finish that could emphasize lid texture.

It's a shame they were so difficult to apply, because the finish was really stunning; fine, glimmering particles that reflected the light and danced without being chunky or glittery. They were comfortable to wear and were transfer-resistant, as promised, and lasted four to six hours on me before fading.
