Liquid Powder Eye Tint

Eyeshadow made easy—apply, tap, done. The Liquid Powder Eye Tint from ILIA Beauty makes eyeshadow wonderfully effortless: apply, quickly tap it in with your finger, and you're done. The weightless texture glides over the lid like a cream at first and transforms within a few seconds into a fine, powdery finish that feels barely noticeable.

A small dab is all you need for a sheer wash of color that gently enhances the eyes. For added depth and definition, build the color in thin layers. The matte shades look soft and modern, while the chromatic shades capture the light with finely balanced pearl pigments—from subtle rose gold to intense copper and sage green.

• Liquid cream-to-powder eyeshadow water-based
• Fast-drying and sets in just a few seconds
• Buildable from a sheer wash of color to intense coverage
• Eight matte and eight multidimensional shimmer shades
• Smudge-resistant, weightless finish
• With Glycerin, horse chestnut extract, and honokiol
• No eyeshadow primer required
• Formulated vegan, cruelty-free, and without fragrance, gluten, or silicones
  

The water-based formula blends effortlessly at first, then sets to a smudge-resistant finish. Glycerin helps retain moisture, horse chestnut extract supports a smooth-looking appearance, and honokiol from magnolia bark adds antioxidant properties to the formula. The result looks even and expressive without feeling heavy or thick on the lid.

The shades can be worn individually or combined with one another. For example, a matte base with a touch of Chromatic Eye Tint in the center of the lid creates a particularly beautiful effect.

FAQ

Is the ILIA Liquid Powder Eye Tint a liquid or powder eyeshadow?
When applied, the Eye Tint has a liquid-cream texture. Within a few seconds, it dries to a lightweight, powdery finish.

Do I need to use a primer under the Liquid Powder Eye Tint?
No. ILIA recommends applying it to clean, dry eyelids. The fast-drying formula was designed to set without additional primer.

How quickly do I need to blend the eyeshadow?
The formula dries within a few seconds. It is therefore best to work on one eye at a time and blend the color immediately after applying it.

Can I apply the Eye Tint with my fingers?
Yes. The color can be applied particularly easily by tapping it in with your fingertip. For greater precision or a more defined shape, a flat eyeshadow brush is also suitable.

Can the color be intensified?
Yes. Apply several thin layers and let each layer dry completely before adding the next. A thick layer may look less even than several thin layers.

Does the Liquid Powder Eye Tint settle into the crease?
The formula was developed not to crease or smudge easily after drying. However, the result may also be affected by the condition of your eyelids, your skincare routine, and the amount applied.

Can I combine matte and shimmery shades?
Yes. For example, use a matte shade as a base and add a highlight with a chromatic shade in the center of the lid or the inner corner of the eye.

Which shades are suitable for a natural everyday look?
Adobe, Cork, Dove, Aura, Glaze, Mythic, and Fresco are particularly easy to wear for a subtle look. However, the effect also depends on your skin tone and the amount applied.

How do I remove the Eye Tint?
Remove the long-lasting color with a gentle eye makeup remover, cleansing oil, or cleansing balm, then remove it without vigorous rubbing.

Is the ILIA Liquid Powder Eye Tint vegan?
Yes. The formula contains no animal-derived ingredients. The product is also cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified.

Do all shades contain the same ingredients?
All shades have the same base formula. However, different combinations of the mineral pigments listed in the May-Contain list are used depending on the shade.
