We’re big fans of liquid eye shadow; it’s one of the latest beauty trends that makeup brands are all over. Why, you ask? Because not only is it shatter-proof (raise your hand if you’ve ever opened up your bag to find a mess of shimmery powder coating all its contents), but it’s also super easy to apply, blend and wear. Here are nine formulas sure to get you hooked.
